time awakened: 5am words written: 5500 landmark reached: 275 pages landmark reached: 50%! miles walked: 5 cookies made: 48 Lots of 5s today! And, um, one 48, well, I like to shake things up, what can I say. :) Given that three days ago I had not yet reached 200 pages on this manuscript, I’m pretty pleased with this output. Possibly the Very Best Part is that I’ve reached the point where I have two and a half chapters I can revise and stick back in from the previous draft,…
writing & yoga
Bringing this up out of comments, ’cause…well, *someone* might be interested… :) said, “I still don’t see how you crank out so much writing in a day.” Although I suspect this was not actually intended as a literal comment, I took it that way, and replied (with some modification and expansion for the purposes of posting on the front page): Well, when I’m doing it like this, quite literally *how* I do it is to get up, go straight to the writing computer (which has no net access) and write…

I’m going for a walk this evening, and then I’m going to read or watch tv and probably go to bed early, since I got up earlier than usual to work. ytd wordcount: 163,100 miles to Minas Tirith: 272
a futher!
Goodness, our schedule’s been thrown into a futher! I was *sure* and husband were arriving the 5th, to stay through the 12th. Ted and I dashed around cleaning the house today in preparation for the blessed event. We got rid of two of the beds and moved a bookcase out of the spare bedroom (and moved a wardrobe in), and now that room is quite large-looking and echoy.
