Hey Folks,
Not a lot in this post today, so you get a brief reprieve. (grin)
Today, and Writing
Rolled out at 3:30 after waking at 1, 2, 2:30 and 3. I mostly did nothing for the first hour, then kind of put myself on hold, hovering, waiting for DWS’ new post.
Finally to the Hovel around 6:40. Around 7:15 I started reading over the story again. It’s only around 8000 words, and I like it. Of course, I allowed my subconscious to touch it here and there. Added only around 250 words.
8:10, a break.
8:30, back to the novel.
9:30, another few hundred words and a break.
9:50, back to the novel. Another few hundred words and a necessary break for a trip to the PO, then to stomp out a couple family forest fires.
12, back to the novel. I had hoped for 4000 words today, but I’ll be happy if I can just pull down 3000 given that it’s Saturday.
Hmm. Time got away from me. Around 1 I went up to the house to move the sprinkler. Then back to the novel.
At 2:30, with around 3500 words on the day, a break to walk around a bit.
3:15, I hit a good stopping place with a jagged edge. So I’m calling it for today. A great day for a Saturday.
Back tomorrow.
