A biking and writing weekend!
I am so excited duikermeisie and used_songs and E (not on LJ) and I are going to have a biking and writing weekend in San Antonio the first weekend in February. I LOVE having adventurous writerly friends!
Now to drag my bicycle, which is a very good one thank goodness, out of the garage, dust it off, make sure it is good to go. I plan to take the Friday of the 5th off work so I can drive up early and find a lovely place to write the afternoon away until Helen arrives, then we'll bike adventure the next day, and then have writing time, then go home on Sunday.
This last week was well spent hammering out the last ten chapters (THE OUTLINE, NOT THE CHAPTERS) of my current novel. I have to write them still, but this hammering-out the plot helps tremendously. I have got to step up the production now and get this thing done! Now that I have a map to guide me to the end, I am confident I can make it happen, stick with the Hodderscape synopsis (mostly--my character doesn't seem to want to be magical in any way, so I am letting her win on that), and it will be way too long in the end, but I'll address that problem later. I estimate hitting 130 words, dammit. DAMMIT. Way too long for YA, but perhaps because this is 'crossover' I can get by with 110,000. I shall not worry about it! Nay!
And now it is time to go to bed. I'm doing 100 days of keto on reddit and can't wait to weigh in the morning. Work tomorrow, but because of hte banks and court houses being closed, we should, SHOULD, have a relaxed day. Better.
I had a good day, a good weekend, especially with my puppies. I bought Shelby (the red) two new clouds. She loves them! Maddox has no wish to lay on them. He does, after all, have the couch.
EDITED FOR CLARIFICATION of what I hammered out. :)
