Today’s early start meant I finished my 5K before 6pm. If I had been a Truly Swell Person, I would’ve charged along and continued to write until 6, but I’m just not that good a person. At all. But I am 4/5ths of the way through my Writing Blitz week, and tomorrow’s 5K will finish the chapter I’m working on, and probably start another, but it takes me through just about all of the set-up. I think my Big Event–the one that in the original synopsis for THE QUEEN’S BASTARD…

Furthermore, unless something goes horribly, horribly wrong, I have moved well past the 1/3rd mark.…

It’s amazing how much better not-sick feels. Having shared that, I’m going to work now. :)
Day Two: Triumphant!
5006 words today. Not quite as splendid as yesterday’s 5300, but I don’t care: I broke 5K and that was the goal. And I broke 50K on the book, hooray! That (due to Sunday being unexpectedly prodigious) is 13.5K on the book this week. That’d be great even if it wasn’t only Tuesday! I’m sure there’s something else I ought to mention, but right now I got nothin’. So I’m gonna go make dinner and rot my brain on tv, instead of being in any fashion clever. :) ytd wordcount:…
