Yeah, we’re sure in the “exciting life of a writer” stage of this. All I’ve got to talk about is revisions–which is to say, I did indeed end up completely rewriting another chapter in order to accomplish the same thing it used to, except with a different ending–but I’m feeling like I’m accomplishing things, so that’s good. Apparently that’s all I’ve got for now. Man. o.O ytd wordcount: 74,400 sekrit number: 5.5 miles to Minas Tirith: 111

things i must do!
The Irish Open, a Masters swim club championship meet, is the first weekend of May in Cork. I must remember to go to that. I would enjoy it a lot. Plodding away (or plotting away) on the book. Tomorrow’s a day off, since it’s volunteer day, and realistically speaking I won’t get anything done so I might as well not feel guilty about it. :) Maybe the day off will give me time to figure out what I’m doing, too, which would be helpful.
