An update....
Wow! I have had an intense July couple of days...
I was fighting a migraine that started at work on the 2nd of July, but forced myself to stay as I wanted my holiday pay. I had the 3rd and 4th off via holiday shift bid, then and the 5th and 6th off as my normal days off. The migraine was on and off all weekend...and continued into Tuesday. Spotty no workie, so no holiday pay. I was absolutely miserable and wouldn't have been worth shit at work. Except that it was still there on fucking Wednesday. Once again, both of my FMLA days in the beginning of the fucking month. *sigh* Thursday and Friday, I was fine. No worries. Saturday? I was feeling not so hot in the morning, but went to work. I came home at lunch. The queasiness and growing migraine were too much to concentrate on work. It was bad enough that I hadn't put in my contacts Saturday morning, or I'd have tried to do the sunglasses at work thing [tho' I don't think that would have worked anyway]. Came home and passed out for several hours, then was groggy as fuck until I went to bed.
Yesterday was spent writing. Srsly. thelittlebang is due in 2 days and my health the last 2 months has NOT been conducive to musely cooperation. FFS! But I am determined not to punk out on this one. So when
shatterpath & amyrayh went to get groceries, I cranked up the Disturbed playlist and started writing. In approximately12 hrs, I managed to churn out 5416 words. I collapsed into bed at like 2330 last night, and passed the fucking fuck out.
And yet, I was wide fucking awake at 0530 this morning. The writing mojo wasn't quite as powerful as yesterday, but I have managed to get 3298 words written today. My thelittlebang story [which still doesn't have a good title] is sitting at 24037 words right now. I've sent off this version to
ct for a first round beta and
shatterpath knows to check the files on my public drive as well. Right now, there are 6 different scenes/journal entries that need to be completed/reworked and the whole thing is done for now. I'm hoping I can finish up those 6 scenes and still post this bitch up on Wednesday, but it really depends on work and the weather. At the latest, I'll be able to post it on Sunday, which is my next day off.
I'm really fucking proud of this story right now. It's still not going to be exactly what I wanted, but I don't think there is ever truly a final copy where Light, Water, Muses is concerned.
So my word count for these past 48 hrs is 8714. Beat that, bitches! Just kidding!
And now, I'm completely wiped out. I'm gonna finish watching No Reservations and head to bed.
