The first update of the day
Thanks to the orange hell cat as he is being known this weekend, I was awake at seven. So I figured (after a suitable period of blearily eating breakfast and blinking at the computer screen) that I could try and get a chapter done. And now it's completed. Yay. Given...
Getting closer
Well, I got through another chapter today. I wanted to do two but somehow the day got sucked up in collecting my tickets for SF (yay), running secret errands with the VT (yay) and then you know, watching Dr Horrible (yay), learning how to use garage band to make...
Back again
I'm back. Why is it always so much colder in Melbourne than Sydney? Boo to weather. Um, Sydney was very busy and full of pilgrims wanting to see the Pope. We caught a glimpse of him in the Popemobile from the window of the hotel where we were conferencing. Popemobiles...
Grumble
Well I'm a chapter behind where I wanted to be given life stuff last night. Hopefully I can set myself up with a few more chapters ahead on hardcopy notes by the time I get back from work trip Friday night but given I have to get up at...
Tweaking
This morning the girls woke me up with some very specific things to go back and add in to the chapters I've been working on this weekend. So I spent most of the day doing nitpicky, tweaky stuff which is always time consuming (okay, so there may have been some playing...
Run run run to a cinema near you.
So. Mamma Mia. Was FANTASTIC! I'll admit, I'm an Abba fan. They were huge here in the seventies when I was a kid and my parents kind of imprinted the music on me and I've always liked them since. I saw Mamma Mia in the theatres twice but must admit, when I first heard...
The running out the door update
Over half way now on the revision, yay. I've added 33 pages in the first 11 chapters which gives you an idea how talking headish my first drafts get. I figure I'll add around another thirty in the last 8, which will get me somewhere near 97k. Good enough. In other...
The final countdown
Number of working days left before the big holiday is now officially in the single digit range! Gimme a woo and a hoo! And you know, wave those arms in the air like you just don't care. Counting the days? Who, me? Revision continues to play nice, dixie chicks still on...
Confused
Can someone please explain to me why this darn book, which insisted on a long and arduous hunt for witchy demon techno music and was very picky about what it would accept in the course of said long arduous soundtrack hunt, suddenly insists on nothing but Dixie Chicks?...
A day in the life
Buzzzzzzzzzzzz Whuh? Alarm? Nooooo, still cold and dark. Just fell asleep, I swear. Stagger stagger. Breakfast. Shower. Clothing. Very cold and dark. Register universal complaint re suckitude of winter as climb into car. Traffic jam. Work. Type, type, type, answer...
