I woke up this morning with “Wheels On The Bus (Go Round and Round)” stuck in my head. I don’t even have any children on whom this can be blamed. This *cannot* be a good sign… Thinks to do this evening if I can hold my brain together enough to do them: – answer matrice mail – answer dabel mail – answer fan mail – watch Torchwood (this, I can do) *sigh* All right, off to a slightly later start than the last couple days. I plead for encouragement today.…

not bad.
7400 words today. I should go re-sign-up for Novel in 90, which I totally flamed out on when I hurt my hand (otoh (heh), I in fact blew away the 67,500 word expectation with my 119.1K in the first 3 months of the year), but quantum willing and the creek don’t rise (and if I can keep this productivity rate up), I will finish this book a week Friday, and not start another one until (drumroll please) … MAY FIRST! …I think I’ll go fling myself in a pit now.…
quick note before bed
Ellen Million, who rocks, has scanned a couple of short stories I wrote in college and sent me copies of them, ’cause one, at least, I’m sure I don’t have. That one is a Beauty and the Beast story which, to the best of my own recollection, is a huge rip-off of Robin McKinley’s BEAUTY, except, like, written my way. :) So I’ll be reading both of those stories with fascinated trepidation sometime here soon… Realised this evening that the smart thing to do was take the synopsis for Chance…
Day Five: I Rule The World
When I reached 5K today and added up my wordcount for the week, I discovered that with one thing and another, I had written 28,907 words since Sunday. 28,907 is awfully close to a nice round 30,000. And it was slightly before 5pm. “Shit,” I said, and went and wrote another 1100 words so that they wouldn’t be hanging around haunting me tomorrow, which is supposed to be My Day Off. And now it is 6pm, and I have written thirty thousand words this week, and god damn if I…
Day Four: Triumphant!
Today’s early start meant I finished my 5K before 6pm. If I had been a Truly Swell Person, I would’ve charged along and continued to write until 6, but I’m just not that good a person. At all. But I am 4/5ths of the way through my Writing Blitz week, and tomorrow’s 5K will finish the chapter I’m working on, and probably start another, but it takes me through just about all of the set-up. I think my Big Event–the one that in the original synopsis for THE QUEEN’S BASTARD…
