I am having an insanely busy day. I’ve gotten 1500 words written and really should do another 1000, because that’ll get me somewhere like the end of this chapter, and it’s clear that the end of this chapter is going to be the actual beginning of the book. It’s full of backstory and stuff now and it’s dull, although I don’t mind writing it because 1. I’ll be able to work it in later, and 2. it got me started writing, which is all that really matters. I have done…
I swam 4000 yards and walked 5 or so miles this weekend. I’m very disappointed that I didn’t wake up weighing 140 pounds this morning. I was not at home a lot this weekend, which is nice and unusual for me. Spent lots of time visiting with my parents and gossiping.

Cross posting from my main journal…
…because there are people who don’t have the mizkit_feed friended, and I’m looking for help. :) I got email from my editor today, who is really enjoying OPERATION: CARDINAL, but who doesn’t like the title at all.

I’m going to put some of my thought process behind the working titles behind the cut tag, and perhaps people will be able to help some! And if somebody hits…
writing and stuff :)
Calloo! Callay! Oh Frabjous Day! I’ve got the synopsis for OPERATION: FIREBIRD basically done. It needs some work and there’s still some bits where, as Wen would say, “Then a miracle happens,” but I’ve got the thing generally done and I’ll fiddle with it a bit more over the next week or so. Now to write the first few chapters! I’m trying to do too many things at once right now. Been trying to write this post for hours. I got email from my editor today, who is really enjoying…
small brain
God, I’ve got a rather small brain today. One of those “sit and stare vacantly at the computer screen and wonder what I’m doing” things. I’ll eat something in a few minutes, which will probably help. I hope. :) I was obliged to take Ted out to dinner last night to make him help me figure out a plot for OPERATION: FIREBIRD. It took a while to get started, partly ’cause he was very tired and partly because he hasn’t read O:C yet, but eventually he said something that caused…
