Hah! I made my 1300 on TQB, which puts me at 3K for the day (go me!) and 19K for the year! Go me twice! I’ll hit 20K tomorrow, which will make me v. happy. It’s not quite a NNWM schedule, but then again, I didn’t write for several days while my back was going *grlglkght*, and also I’m not /trying/ for a NNWM schedule. Why ar eyou looking at me like that? o.o Apparently I intimidated the hell out of a friend who shall remain nameless (in case she…

This tablet thing is hard! It would be easier if I could turn the tablet like I can turn a drawing pad, but noooOOOOOoooo. Anyway, a drawing of Breic. :)
the books I’m working on
The books I’m working on, or at least referring to in my blog these days, by initials: TB is THUNDERBIRD FALLS, the sequel to URBAN SHAMAN. (Let us not focus on the fact that in fact the initials of this should be ‘TF’; apparently ‘thunderbird’ is the important word in my mind.)

And now I’m burning through the wordcount, because I’m no longer hitched up…
good grief
Didn’t go to the SinC meeting, but I did write a lot more. Another 1770 words or so, for a total of 3400 today, and I finished the 2nd chapter of TQB, which came in at 6400 words. 29 pages.

I think it’d bedtime now. ytd wordcount: 16,000
