Nearly
Darn. I didn't get the 12 pages I was hoping for. Only eight. Mostly due to the fact that the stonking great 'I'm on detox type diet' headache that I was hoping I'd missed out on after it didn't arrive yesterday, arrived today. Which meant I spent most of the...
What I did on my saturday
1. Swilled evil tasting herbal potions. I have now perfected (and am intending to patent) the evil herbal potion swilling technique as follows: a) Prepare evil herbal potion in medicine glass. Relocate to bathroom. Have bottle of water on hand. Also mouthwash. b) Do...
Four at a time
Not quite as many as I hoped for today but all my running around this morning took longer than expected, then I had to go grocery shopping to stock up on the limited things that I'm allowed to eat for the next two weeks courtesy of the naturopath (including no...
And again
Man, sorry if this has been a boring week of posts but combining end of book push with cold-induced head fog doesn't make for sparkling repartee. Today, I decided I'd top off the cold with a flu vacc then spent the afternoon shivering. Feeling better again now, so...

You know, there's something about hitting the last third of a book, even a very first drafty draft of a book like this one, that makes my brain go a little crazy. Normal people do not wander around the supermarket doing page count calculations in their heads much like...
Blitz me
I woke up with the slightly nutty idea that if I write 18 pages today I'll be at 60k. I don't know why, maybe it's because that's the length my short contemps are, but 60k feels much closer to done than being in the fifties. I'm going to try doing some alphie blitzes,...
Ever onwards
Maybe it was the candles, maybe the cunning suggestions as to possible hero issues by the brilliant lulus but yay, I have pages. Progress - Witch 1 New pages - Eight Intriguing things - Potions Annoyances - Figuring out how this might work Music - Back to Moby....
Earth Hour
I used to write with candles burning all the time...a habit I should resurrect. Pretty candles courtesy of the VT.
