I don’t feel good this morning. This is *probably* because I waited too long to eat breakfast, and probably also because the first glass of water I had this morning tasted like soap (I guess the glass hadn’t been rinsed well enough, or something), but it’s all making me want to just go back to bed instead of doing anything productive. Maybe I’ll let myself off the hook and have a write-until-2pm goal instead of a 5K goal. Which means I should get back to it. *sigh*
the words, the words!
This is the problem with writing a book: my daily posts become about nothing else. Although I must say I’m enjoying walking down to Cobh to walk home with Ted after work very much; not only does it get me out of the house for sure, but it gives us some extra time together that we wouldn’t have, ’cause after having had him around for several months I kinda miss him during the day!

That’s just too much cologne, when random passers-by get a good three or four breaths of the stuff, plus one lingering whiff after the car…

I gave up. I got to 5200 words and nominally finished chapter eleven (and have less nominally officially hit the 1/3rd mark, YAY!), but I know that the truth of the matter is that tomorrow I’m going to have to go finish this scene, which really finishes chapter eleven, and it’ll turn out that *everything* I wrote earlier today as chapter 11 is going to be chapter 12, which will be nearly finished once it’s been cut and pasted into place. Right at this moment I feel rather like ,…
we don’t need no stinkin’ logic!
Here I am, marching along (not chugging today: not enough momentum), and man this scene’s getting long and the chapter’s not the longest but if this scene doesn’t end soon it’ll be rivaling the longest and whew, finally hit 3K for the day and chug chug ok can I wrap it up here no not really but if I go back and fix something *goes back and …* And wow, that transition is really ugly. Rrrreeaaally ugly. Like, ugly enough that *I* don’t get what happened. Ok, how to fix…
