I revised one chapter this morning, then read the next two to see what I had to do in order to get them up to spec so that my book could suddenly be THREE HUNDRED! AND TWENTY! PAGES! LONG! With a growing sense of doom, I realized that what I had to do was throw them out and write new ones. I *hate* that. I really, *really* like these chapters. I really, *really* want to keep them. But as they stand, they make Event A a relatively unimportant one, when…

existential angst
I called my folks to see what was up, since they don’t have net access right now. The line got hung up, and Dad, on his end, said, “Are you there?” and I wasn’t! I, on my end, said, “Am I here?” And I wasn’t!

Bringing this up out of comments, ’cause…well, *someone* might be interested… :) said, “I still don’t see how you crank out so much writing in a day.” Although I suspect this was not actually intended as a literal comment, I took it that way, and replied (with some modification and expansion for the purposes of posting on the front page): Well, when I’m doing it like this, quite literally *how* I do it is to get up, go straight to the writing computer (which has no net access) and write…
yoga & writing
There’s a (free) yoga fundamentals class tonight at 7pm. I have it on my list of thinks to do. The question: will I actually nerve myself up to go? *at least goes so far as to look the location up on the map* Oh, jeez. I can’t even use “I’m not sure where it is” as an excuse, as it’s pretty much a straight shot from here. Well, one half-block jog to the left, but straight on til morning after that. I should probably go. I don’t know why going…
