pretty good

1300 words so far this morning, and about 800 more than posted about yesterday, so I’m close to done with chapter 22, which is pretty good for it not yet being 9:30 in the morgle. Taking a breakfast break right now and then back to the grindstone. I want a … nevermind. It’s been too long since I started writing this post. No, I’ll write it anyway. I want a workstation which involves a comfy mission-style chair like the one in my writing nook. I want this workstation to have…

dire 1’s

A whole chapter so far today. Break time for a while, then back to the grindstone. And, having reached more than 20K for my YTD wordcount, I have broken out of the Dire Ones, which is always emotionally satisfying. :) I also hit 250 pages with the manuscript, which means 70-90 more to go. I have this bit I like at the end of this chapter and I hope it’ll all work out. :) Will be VERY glad to be done with the rough draft so I can fix everything.…

“I’m only fast compared to most people.”

So I had a great swim today.

horrible sleepies

Horrible sleepies. Slogged my way through a chapter, not because the chapter was boring but because I was v. sleepy myself. Obliged to take a nap halfway through the chapter. Hoping right now that Ted comes home in time to bring me to swimming, as promised, because I so need the exercise. It’s largely that that’s making me sleepy, I think, so I’m hoping that exercise will revitalize me enough to write more afterwards. It’s still cold and slippery out. *sigh* And to add insult, it’s windy, too. Poor Chanti…

making book

1250 v. slow words so far today. Borrowed Ted’s brain, figured out the widget I needed, and will carry on in a few minutes here after I’m…well. Technically I’m now done with lunch, but I’m taking a few more minutes to hang out and listen to the Smallville soundtrack and geek with Deborah over the lovely brokenness that is the Luthor family. :) Frozenated. *brr* Ok, I guess I have to go write more. Ted’s going over to Christopher’s to make up a character for a new game later, but…
