At about 5:15 this morning I woke up (my alarm’s set for 5:30) and thought, “nnngh. Maybe I don’t wanna get up, even if I’m awake. Nngh. ‘course, I gotta pee. Maybe I can ignore it. (three minutes pass) Nope. Can’t ignore it. Might as well get up.” So up I got. The decent thing about getting up that early is that I don’t feel in the slightest bit bad for sitting there in the shower until I decide I feel functional enough to get out and face the day.…

My hands are *freezing*. Brrr. And it’s warmed up today, so I donno what’s up with that! Good writing day today. I didn’t get up early enough to make 1K on TB, but I made 1200 on TQB, so it was a good writing day. I’m going to hit 5K on this QB chapter before I even /fix/ it. I’m at like 3800 words already. Sheesh! Also, I broke 225K written this year, today! Yay! ytd wordcount: 226,900 Heather’s miles to Rivendell: 352
yay!
Got up at about 6 this morning, somewhat later than I might’ve, but still early enough to get 800 words of re-writing on chapter 8 done. Just in case “re-writing” gives an implication of “fixing words that are already there”, let me assure you that these are all-new words. Chapter 8 had to be thrown out entirely. Complete. Whoosh. A visit to the circular file. And … well. Some parts of chapter 9 might be salvageable, after 8 is re-written, and after that… I haven’t even looked at the chapters,…
FINALLY.
FINALLY. I’ve gotten some writing done. I did, well, ok, 200 words, on TB this morning, before needing to do research, so I’ll probably throw most of them out, but hey, at least I did them, and I got another 1200 words written on TQB. They are very, very *bad* words and are going to need serious editing (like, I’m thinkin’ that there’s at least one page of telling that needs to be turned into about 3 pages of showing, and … I think that’s true in at least two…
