2788 words today despite myself, and I think this is a very sexy chapter. There’ve been explosions, now there needs to be a little down time of learning more stuff and testing theories, then on to a worldwide chase where three or four factions are after the hero, some sex if I can work it in, some nice crunchy betrayal on someone’s part, then more explosions and a deadly fight and we’re good. No prollem. It is way too damn cold out to go walking. ytd wordcount: 14,900

gah

And then there are mornings like today, when I have eaten too many pieces of pizza in the last couple of days, and, as Ted put it, the Ghost of Pizza Past has come to haunt my tummy.

Now *that’s* what I’m talkin’ about

Now *that’s* what I’m talkin’ about. 4622 words today. This is the difference between getting up at 7 and getting up at 10, pretty much.

It’s the first time in A Coon’s Age that I’ve gotten up before 7, and I’m feeling very slightly morally superior. I haven’t quite gotten to the end of ch. 16, although I did get to a place where it /could/ end. Except it’s only 9 pages long, so I need to do the next bit of scene in this chapter.

writingu!

All right, I am a better person today than I’ve been for a week. I wrote AND I walked. 3025 words today, one chapter plus a chunk of another, and I know what I’m doing with the rest of 16, so hooray! That means it should go fairly fast tomorrow, and I should get part or all of 17 done. AND I get to watch more Smallville tonight, ’cause I did my writing! Ahahahah! :) ytd wordcount: 7500 miles to Lothlorien: 431
