Grr. My web hosting service has been extremely poor this month. A lot of down time. I’m not happy. Ted’s backups are apparently being corrupted, so once more, he’s stuck at work for all eternity. Grf. There is a great deal of ranting going on about the war today. Some of it is my ranting. My part of the ranting was inspired by someone asking that a group of people pray for the troops (the person who mentioned it said, “I kept my mouth shut,” which is reasonable as she’s…

the counting
The counting of the words, the counting of the words, high ho the derry-o, the counting of the words! Ok, that totally didn’t rhyme, but whatever. New words written: 798. Old words thrown out: 283. Sarah says I can count them in my YTD amount anyway, since they’re entirely new and rewritten and not merely revised, in which case I can add back in the 400ish or so words I wrote Thursday and threw out again.

Muchas editingas today. (That’s Spanish for ‘much editing’ today.) The first third of Angles is fully edited, now, and I’m giving myself 1/2 credit in wordcount for rewrites. So that’s 7000 words of rewrites today. (Too bad the /writing/ part doesn’t pile up that fast!) I’ve also gotten about 300 words written on Fool’s Gold, but I think once more they’re all words that need to be thrown out. Right idea, wrong approach, just like ch. 4. That’s a real bother, you know? I like getting it right the first…
