Nanowrimo word count, day 9: 15,579 (+576). Spent lots of time reworking the last chapter. I agree with nanowrimo that over-editing is bad when you're trying to just get your story out, but when it takes an unexpected turn, you can only go so far before you need to work out your details. I had to go back and clean up, and then I was much better able to move forward. Fortunately, I was able to keep the word count moving up while reworking, so I didn't go backward. Also, I had been feeling pretty terrible about the low quality of the work, so it's nice to go forward not feeling like I have a huge pit of filth to wade through later.
I painted a picture today. I'm just creative all over the place. I'm not an artist at all, but I had fun. :)
We have a bug of some kind attacking our household. Clara has a fever (again), and Sebastian has a cough (still). Ash and I are both trying to fend off a cold, but I'm afraid the cold is winning. Seb. had Too Much TV time today both because I was low on energy and I wanted him to be still for his own sake. He wound up taking a 4-hour nap, though he slept for only 3 of those hours. Clara also took a 4-hour nap, then had a lovely lie down two hours later, and then bed about an hour and a half after that.
We've finally gotten our hands on the Dr. Who Christmas specials that came out after season 4. They took FOREVER to come across the pond!
Bedtime.
