bum bum ba bum!

3800 words all told today, and I have doom set up, emotional entanglements to explore, actions to disapprove of, and Guilder to frame for it. Frankly, I’m swamped. Actually, I need to go back *again* and do some more revisions on the first 100 pages. This is not how I write a book. I go great guns til I hit a wall a third of the way in, then I rewrite, then I go forward again, slogging through the middle, until I hit the 3/4ths point, at which time I…

I just got the last page for Chance. This is going to look really fantastic. *laugh* Ardian’s going to do inks, and , I need to talk to you about that colorist we talked about the other day. I’ll…gosh, maybe I should email you. :) Anyway, one way or another I’m thinking a September-ish submission to Image, at this point. Maybe later, probably not earlier. Also, I must finish writing Chance 4-6. In my copious free time. I’ve had to turn the comments off on kitsnaps, because I’m just getting…

Possibly I should learn to not put down an estimated wordcount for the day. I sat down at Nook and read the 88 pages I had, and thought, wow, no idea what happens next. I needed more setup. So I went back and put in more setup, about 9 pages worth, and now I know what to do next. So I’m *just* shy of 100 pages and about one chapter short of finishing the setup, I think. The initial setup, anyway, and that comes out about right. But anyway, unless…

wagon, meet kit. kit, wagon.

Having eaten a truly astounding amount of food in the last week, and being visibly pudgier than I was ten days ago and grumpy about it, I am declaring a moritorium on eating poorly and getting back on the wagon. Today’s goal: do weights as well as walk to the post office. Short term goal: 3 days of actually sticking to a WW plan, counting points and all. This gets me to Thursday, where I will get on the scale and see what kind of damage I’ve done (and hopefully…

almost, but not quite

I almost got out of bed at 6:50 this morning, but I didn’t make it until 7:30. I was really tired, though. Busy weekend. *sleepy eyes* I have something like 17 days before guests start to descend. I will probably not write 5K on all of those 17 days, but my Stated Intention is to write 5K on at least 14 of those 17 days. That puts me well short of a book by the time they arrive, but …ok, wtf is wrong with the internet? My connection *sucks*. I…
