OoooOOoooo! I think I shall order these as manuscript disposal units! *beam* Thanks, Tracie!
words, but they don’t count
Wrote 1100 words this morning, but they were political mechanation stuff and really nothing at *all* like fiction, so I can’t count them. Must rewrite ch. 3 of HoS tonight; that will count. Also finished rewriting ch. 2 last night, so that’s good.

It’s hard to break out of this very tight 3rd…
miles to rivendell
I’m going to start finishing my walk to Rivendell on the first. I have 83 miles to go.

Thursday will hopefully be enough time for adjustments to settle in and allow me to walk without pain.…

They are bad printouts, or they’re edited copies which have been typed…
stella, you mustn’t hurt me.
Stella, you mustn’t hurt me. Nor you neither, Silkie. There’ll be no TQB for a little while, because I need to write an outline for it. It’s going along fine on an interpersonal level, which is good because that’s the level the story happens at, but at the mechanical political level I don’t have enough of a grasp on it, and while I could perhaps continue on this way, it would SUCK. Ahem. :) So I’m gonna spend the next week or two working out the outline and then do…
