It’s pretty funny how other people’s writing success gets me all excited about writing. Mony has broken the 8000 word mark on her NaNoWriMo novel (GO MONY!!!), and *I’m* so smug about it I’m practically dancing around. And I’m all gung ho to write more, myself! (In fact, I am writing more. I figured out What Happens Next in the Kitling story, which means I may be able to finish it tonight! Yah!)
jeez
Jeez, I thought I was doing okay today. I wrote 1500 words, edited a chapter, actually socialized IRL with some human beings other than my immediate family, and swam, but *Sarah* more or less took over the world. Gooooooooo Sarah! Ted put a split keyboard on my desktop. I hope very much that it helps my pinky/elbow/back ulnar nerve problem, because it hurts like hell.
more words
Another 900 or so words on LG, for 1500 total so far today. Ted wants me to go out to lunch (which is to say, to go out and watch other people eat, since I’m not hungry) with him and some of his friends, so I’m going to take my swimming gear (in case it runs long) and go and be sociable, and then go swimming. I may write some more tonight; I donno. I should do another 200 words to make the 1700wpd wordcount the 50K-in-a-month requires. I should…
good morning
A good morning so far. I got 600ish words written before the boys got up (I also fed the dog, filled her peanutbutterball, and changed the kitty litter as procrastinatory measures) and Sarah’s just edited the next US chapter for me. In a couple minutes I have to go back to the salt mines and get another 1100 words (or more) written on LG, but for this moment, I’m coasting and happy. All is well with the world!
oooookaaaaay
Oooooooookaaaaaaaaaay, I failed my work on Kitlings roll, but I did edit 5 more chapters of US. This is partly because they’d already been rewritten and didn’t need much work (or I didn’t think so, anyway), but now they’ve been sent to Sarah for fine-tooth-combing. I believe that the next chapter may be the one where I have to actually start rewriting and really editing, but if I do one a day, I should be done by Thanksgiving… which is late this year. I should be done around the 22nd.…
