more writing and life stuff
I could not get up and moving today. Just couldn't. I did manage to feed the dog and take him out and leave in time to get to work on time (even with grabbing lunch on the way) but I lost almost all of the morning, and I had to reschedule a thing I had at 11am because there was no way in hell I was going to get to work by then. I didn't sleep well last night, which was part of it, but man.
Meanwhile, in less "blug" news: I don't think I've mentioned it over here, but I sgined up for
getyourwordsout this year. There are different levels of goals, everything from 75,000 words in a year to 500,000 words in a year. I signed up for the "difficult" level, which means I have to write 300,000 words in a year. Given last year and the year before word counts I think I can do this. I'm going to try and stretch to make the "insane" goal of 350k, but I think 500k is too much even for me. I did a fuckton of writing this year and still didn't make that, and I don't want to set myself up for failure. I don't want to make this something I can do in my sleep, but I don't want to make it something where I'm really struggling and cursing myself every step of the way, either.
Most of that writing, obviously, will be on WC. I'm not sure I have 300,000 words left on it--I could be wrong, of course, but I don't think I'm only halfway through. But I have at least two other projects to work on if I finish WC, so I'm certain I'll get the words somewhere.
And I finally hit the point in WC where all my main characters (all thirteen of them) are introduced and awake and doing things. It only took me 300,000 words...*sigh* I may have some secondary characters left to introduce but I'm pretty sure I've gotten all the main people.
I'm hoping GYWO will help keep me focused, or at least keep me productive. Not all my 300,000 words have to be on the same subject, obviously, but I'm hoping most of them will be so I can finish the damn thing.
Mundanity: Tomorrow I get to order my new glasses, yay! And at some point tomorrow the doggy door will be delivered, and then Morgan and I will try to figure out how to set it up and then hopefully Buddy will actually use it. I'll cross my fingers. It would just make life so much easier for all of us if he had a way to go outside when we're asleep or not home. The down side is that it might lead to him barking at things outside, but we'll figure that out later. Fortunately the neighbors in back of us are more amused than anything else by Buddy barking at them.
4.5 hours to go at work. So not wanting to be here. Sigh.
