Word wars for the win today! I was up early and got 2500 words written before noon, and then had an unexpectedly good word war afternoon and did another 1800, for a total of 4300 words today! *boogies* That puts me at 189 pages, so I should reach my goal of 200 pages tomorrow without much trouble. We might go watch a bad movie tonight. *cheerful* :) ytd wordcount: 119,600 miles to Minas Tirith: 183.5

experiment
I appear to be running an experiment in weight loss. It’s a very good experiment, because it proves out, conclusively, every time.

I was going to announce winners for the FANTASY MEDLEY with this, but I haven’t gone through all the entries yet and my brain is too fried to do so tonight,…
wet. droopy. amused.
Ted and I went out for a walk in reasonably fine weather and in short order got pelted by ice-cold rain and a vicious wind. It was miserable enough to be funny. We spent the rest of the day in our jammies being nuggly and warm, because man, that was cold! Good writing day today. Thanks to a couple of short-ish chapters and the few hundred words I did last Friday to break 30K on the book, I actually reached my tipping-point chapter today: I’ve finished 3 chapters this week,…
