the hermit

[bluedevi]

And so the Strange and Rootless Summer goes on. I'm house-sitting for addedentry and j4 in Cambridge right now. They have no internet yet. On the one hand, this is a bit weird. On the other hand, it means I'm getting lots and lots of writing done, and watching their videos, and magpieing my way through their fantastic poetry collection, reading Four Quartets

Erk. Did I ever text you back that time?

[bluedevi]

Sorry. :/ I wrote you a text. Maybe I sent it to the wrong number. I wonder who?

I wonder if it's possible to write 20,000 words in a week?

Yes it's possible, and there are many professional writers who seem to be capable of doing it on a consistent basis.

Personally, I've only done it once, and with over half of them in the last 24 hours, it was one of the most exhilerating weeks of my life.

I'm really sorry about the Worldcon thing, by the way. I was fretting over life issues. I am a flake indeed. How did it go?

wow, I'd love to sit in a cottage in cambridge!

[bluedevi]

Well, it's more a terrace than a cottage, but still lovely.

Yep - if you've got peace, quiet, coffee and chocolate truffles!

(Maybe you could hand some eight thousand of those over to secretrebel? Assuming you can see the entry that I can see.)

[lathany]

Six thousand, even.

I wonder how my characters would get along in her book?

[juggzy]

Yes.
