I had an absolutely lovely, quiet day off yesterday, and am feeling roughly 23425098707 million times more relaxed than I was, say, 48 hours ago. I could use a full body massage, possibly one daily for a month or so, but that’s pretty typical for me. I’m so much more relaxed, though, that it would probably do some /good/, which I’m not sure it would’ve done previously. :) Ted and I went to see “Whip It”, which we both enjoyed a lot more than we expected to, so that was…

*thud*
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a draft. It’s a little short at 97K, but there are scenes I need to go back and add (at least 3 of them) and a bunch of clean-up work to do before I turn it in, but that’s a draft. Which means I am officially Out Of Contract (eeee!) and On Vacation for the remainder of 2010. Yeah, yeah, I’ve got to do the clean-up work and turn it in, and I have two sets of proposals to write (because out of contract…
death march, day 2
Thanks to Crysoula’s early morning presence in the war room (well, early for me, late for her), my wordcount at 9:30am stands at just over 1K (THANK YOU SOULA!!!). Odds that more warriors will show up this morning are slim, so it’s back to blogging wars with myself. I think I’m aiming for writing a whole chapter before I go shower, which means another 2500 words by noon, if I can manage it. Starting NOW. war #1: 358. that’s rather disappointing. *continues on without a break* war #2: 533. better.…
death march
Trying to finish the book by Wednesday. Actually by Tuesday would be nice but that’d be 2 7500 word days, probably, which is unlikely. However: it’s early, there are no warriors around, and I’m running wars with myself until they show up because I need the externally implied discipline. Going NOW. war #1: 399. must go punch down bread now. war #2: 601. must go bake bread now. war #3: 179, but it was a very short war! And in the meantime, Richelle Mead gives an idea of why it…
day off
I have taken today off. This does not, perhaps, get me any closer to finishing the book, but I’m not sure trying to work would have, either. So instead I’ve watched Disney’s Robin Hood, which is still my favorite Disney film, and to which I still have all the lines memorized. We used to have it on a record (back in the days before video tapes), and I must’ve listened to it hundreds of times. Certainly enough times that thirty-plus years later I still know all the lines, anyway. :)…
