18266 and I'm whipped and calling it a night. Project for school, done and submitted. Project for work, first draft submitted. 2039 words tonight and I'm going to go read Christmas mysteries. Maybe watch a show, at least check and see if I've totally choked the DVR yet. Everything aches, shoulders, arms, wrists, thumbs.

Tomorrow has more challenges ( Read more... )

Just dropping a note to say hi I am so far behind.

Got my project submitted, adding things until I had to STOP myself or this would be the presentation that never ends. I had to do a web presentation using a site called Trackk. It was awesome fun. It was on Asperger's DIsorder, a subject I found fascinating and I am putting all sorts of stuff about ( Read more... )

The word is 16227 and things are moving along. The gap is almost filled now. But it's been a wicked long day and I'm tired and giving up. Tomorrow won't be much better, sigh. I hope to do the two session thing again. Waiting until 9 or 10 at night to start is not working out for me. But my project for my education class is done, except for proof- ( Read more... )

 13270 at the end of Day Five.

I'm pretty pleased with Day Five. At least the fact that I managed 2000 words fro 8:30 to 11 (with the usual interruptions until 10 pm). I'm at a weird point in the gap writing (the part of the story that in 2008 was represented by two horizontal lines.) The scaffolding is good; all these interactions are, if not ( Read more... )

 
I find myself torn today. I have (remunerative) work to do. My car needs work(!) I haven't been to the gym in days and I am stiffening up. I have a long-standing promise to visit an old friend (most of day cause 3 hours round trip). I have schoolwork, NaNo, research, an interview tomorrow that I am totes ignoring. I have to work out a suitable ( Read more... )

Okay we're already hitting slog. One stupid conversation after another with no redeeming value, no plot advancement or character development and it all needs to be cut, cut, cut ( Read more... )

 Went to a write-in at the local library tonight. Except for the very loud clacky keys of the woman next to me it was very productive! I am at 6912 words, new words, not always necessary words. Stuck in a bit of one conversation after another with little plot progress and secretly knowing much of it will need ruthlessly cut out. Still I persist. We ( Read more... )

 3816 words! Some of them even decent. One whole section will need re-written but re-written is better than written, eh? That's a bit of the gap done, maybe most of it. Going to a write-in tomorrow night, will let you know how that goes. I have multiple irons in the fire but The Librarians is about to start so screw all that ( Read more... )

I got back home yesterday, spend today running errands, working, catching up on email, school stuff, house stuff, studying for an online test that's due tomorrow ( Read more... )

Drum roll please...

I've decided to try and finish Telepath World, from 2008, now tentatively re-titled:  The Willow

It'll take a lot of work including coming up with a sciffy explanation of the dilemma at the core of the story, which will involve hand-waving and bluster genetics and immunology. I think.

I have re-read, lightly edited, corrected ( Read more... )
