Hey Folks,
I woke up in a bad mood today and with a bad attitude. Not only do I feel like I could chew wheels and spit nails, but I feel like that might be a worthwhile long-term occupation. However, I’ll get over it. Maybe.
I’m not sure why all this is going on, but I’m certain it has something to do with age. Seems everything has something to do with age.
The little girl wants outside badly. But she won’t stay outside very long. And she wonders, pointedly, why I let it get so cold out there.
Of Interest
Nada. A second filler post at Dean’s today. He should be back in form tomorrow.
Today, and Writing
Rolled out at 2 a.m. Finally got to the novel (in the Hovel) at 7.
Not surprisingly this close to the end of the book, I did a lot of cycling and also moved a few things around. Most notably, some things I’d cut before fit now. So I put them in place and adjusted them a bit to fit the new scene.
All told, by 9:30 I had around 1700 new words. Novel’s still moving right along. And the end is just around the corner, but I still can’t see around that corner yet.
I kind of hope I finish it today. I’d rather do that, even if in a marathon day, than finish it in a shorter day tomorrow and then have to fill the rest of the day with something else. We’ll see.
But the way it’s running, the marathon might happen tomorrow or even the next day. I don’t think it’ll take more than two more days to finish this one. I feel like there are still another five or six thousand words on this one.
Up to the house to change out of my sweats and into my other work clothes. (grin) Back to the Hovel and the novel at 10:15.
Made my daily goal plus a little. As I expected, this is gonna run for at least another several thousand words, so I’m gonna stop early (it’s almost noon) and take care of some Life things.
Thanks for being along for the ride. Back tomorrow.
