I will not post this until I’ve hit 2K or the end of the chapter, the latter being preferable. I’m at around 1200 words right now, and am taking a small break to think about where the next scene should be set, because it can’t be set in the obvious place due to reality not working that way. Ten years ago, maybe, but in today’s political climate, nope. Has to be somewhere else. Possibly somewhere civilians can get injured. :) Trying to convince myself I’m not actually STARVING MEOW MEOW…
early morning chance update

The roughs for the final four pages of Chance… If you haven’t figured it out, there’s a scrapbook with all the pages, which can be viewed at a larger sizes, here. Hm.

pro-cras-ti-na-aa-tion
I have procrastinated just about all I can. I spent a while yesterday working on a short story for an anthology, finally deciding I had an entertaining main character that I could probably write a novel about, but I had no plot that would work for a 5000 word story, so I regretfully bowed out of the anthology and stopped dorking around with the story. Then I spent a bunch more time reading the Image Comics forums. Ted and I watched “Hudson Hawk”. I walked yesterday! And got rained on.…
not *precisely* back on points…
…but back on the wagon. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m counting points, but I’m off sugar as of … well, I had two cookies Thursday, so I guess technically it’s as of Friday. Granted, it’s only been what, 36 hours, but still. :) For the record, “off sugar” means “no sweets in general, but I can have a spoonful of sugar on my cereal, gorp (which they don’t seem to have in this country, not that I’ve looked very hard) and a palmful of chocolate chips…
