Wow. Tired brain. 4000 *new* words today, plus fiddling and twiddling on many of the others. Got four chapters done. I was aiming for five, but the fifth is going to be another that requires quite a lot of rewriting, I think, and I just don’t have the brain to try to handle it right now. I’m pretty sure they’re going to continue to need more and more rewriting as I get further into the book and its shape becomes different, so I’m reveling in these high-chapter-rewrite days while I…
I shoulda…
I shoulda left the damned streak in my hair and called it good. I suppose this color will do. It’s darker. I prefer it to the last color. But the whole thing makes me really just want to cut my hair into a Louise Brooks bob and have done with it. *mutter* Stupid hair.
Ow. My feet.
“We’re lost, aren’t we?” “We’re not lost. I just don’t know exactly where we are at the moment.” “Belgarath, that’s exactly what the word lost means!” My clever plan to go forth to Temple Bar, find the comic shop and movie theatre, then to go back to Grafton Street for some shopping was partially successful.

productivity
I think living in Ireland is going to prove very good for my productivity, because I’m a minimum of 5 hours and a maximum of 9 hours ahead of everybody I’m accustomed to interacting with. When I get up in the morning, everybody else is going to bed. This means there’s no one to talk to online, which reduces the urge to dink around all day enormously. To wit, I have gotten through 3 chapters of HEART OF STONE this morning. Not much in the way of genuine forward motion–maybe…
revisey goodness
Ok, the problem with revising is that, take today, for example. I have written approximately 2800 words, but only added about 500 to my wordcount. Of course, those 500 words have moved the original end of chapter two into the early part of chapter 3, so I’m not really even done with my two chapters, which means my wordcount isn’t at all accurate. And that’s the problem with revising. :) OTOH, I’m really enjoying myself right now! ytd wordcount: 216,400
