HAPPY TED DAY!!!! Ted had to get up at 5:30 in the morning on his day so he could go be at class by 7am. Poor Ted! OTOH, he got a new computer for his birthday, so it can’t be *all* bad. :) Plus I have some other presents to wrap for him. :) Last night’s obedience training class didn’t go so well. Chanti was *completely* uninterested in it. One of my Thinks To Do today is to spend 20 minutes working with her on class stuff. o.o Next week…
meme
From : Post a quote from something you’ve written (whether or not you consider yourself an author). It can be published or not, from any sort of writing–a poem, a fiction, a letter, whatever. From THE SEVEN AND THE NINE Air bubbled and burst with such force that drops of water, cold enough to burn, splashed onto the Inquisitor’s hand. Her nostrils flared, body drawing up slightly in disapproval. The interrogator flinched and hauled the heretic out of the tub of water, a hand clenched in her hair. Water spattered…
word quotas
Oh, on the word quota thing. This is my decision: I’m going to leave my quota at 1100 words a day. If I achieve that, good; that’s what I need to do to make my year goal. That’s all I *need* to do.

I suspect ultimately it’ll even out, because I do tend to take weekends from writing, even if it’s not during an actual weekend. But that, I…
cat exploded!
A cat exploded kind of writing morning. I got 2300 words written this morning and then worked 2.5 chapters back in to the book, although they are not yet edited. Still, it puts me at 60K! Only 40 to go! Hooray! Well, ok, we’ll see how close to 60K I am when I’ve gotten the necessary edits done, but it’ll be closer to 60 than 50, at least! Perhaps this afternoon I’ll try to get a thousand written on TQB, too. I know where I’m going with that, I just…
good grief
Man, it’s beautiful out. Ten below, but beautiful. Sat down to write this morning (finally), and thought, “Hm, maybe this is the place to start working in some of the already-written stuff,” and so I opened up the original ch. 15, which is where I thought the stuff I needed was. Nope. Okay, so I opened up the original 16. Nope. Hm. Opened up the original 14, although gosh, I thought I only had stuff from 15 and 16 to amalgamate. Hm. Not there either. *13*. I had to go…
