I gave up. I got to 5200 words and nominally finished chapter eleven (and have less nominally officially hit the 1/3rd mark, YAY!), but I know that the truth of the matter is that tomorrow I’m going to have to go finish this scene, which really finishes chapter eleven, and it’ll turn out that *everything* I wrote earlier today as chapter 11 is going to be chapter 12, which will be nearly finished once it’s been cut and pasted into place. Right at this moment I feel rather like ,…

we don’t need no stinkin’ logic!
Here I am, marching along (not chugging today: not enough momentum), and man this scene’s getting long and the chapter’s not the longest but if this scene doesn’t end soon it’ll be rivaling the longest and whew, finally hit 3K for the day and chug chug ok can I wrap it up here no not really but if I go back and fix something *goes back and …* And wow, that transition is really ugly. Rrrreeaaally ugly. Like, ugly enough that *I* don’t get what happened. Ok, how to fix…

Nothing wrong with stopping now, and if I do, there’s plenty of time to shower and go into Cork to buy some fresh froot this afternoon. Nothing wrong with not stopping now, either, though I really do want that shower, and frequently showering interrupts the writing flow in…

People who’re having trouble buckling down to write should go read it. (I’m looking at you, .) Erm. That’s about all I’ve got to say. I’d best take Tammy’s advice to heart and go to work myself. :) miles to Isengard: 149
offline
I’m going to try to stay offline mostly this weekend, as it’s the 4th of July weekend in the States and I expect nobody much will be around. I would like to say the result of me doing this would be an enormous amount of productivity, but I stayed up *way* too late last night and have no intention or expectation of being productive at all today. I suspect it may be all I can do to stay awake. :) My graham crackers, which I keep wanting to call ginger…
