I wrote today. Not as much as I wanted, but I did write 500 words. My minimum. Tomorrow, it will be closer to 1,000…which means I *will* hit my stated goal of 90,000 words by Sunday. So, after all that angst and hand-wringing…here I am, right where I want to be. Just have to keep it UP.
I just had a bunch of ideas for the rewrite/retool of this book, and I’m going to go write them down. Excuse me. Okay. Done. One idea, in retrospect, I still really like. The other one…I’m not so sure. It might be too much. We’ll see.
The Warriors beat the 76ers tonight, which isn’t all that significant on the face of it…except the game was INSANE. The Warriors gave up 47 points in the first quarter. FORTY SEVEN. They were down by 22 points at the half, and as many as 24 at one point. Well, they they went on to score 47 of their own points in the third, a quarter in which they went from down 22 to up 10. A 32-point swing. IN ONE QUARTER. And they ultimately won the game by 8. I mean, holy shit. It was impressive to watch. The second half, anyway. Not so much the first half.
Disjointed ALSO won today, the first game of the playoffs. I don’t get to play in these games, unfortunately, because I was added to the roster late in the season, but whatevs. Liz loves going to see everyone, and they have me coach at first and second base. I think they ended up winning, like, 13-2. They’re a very good team. I think they might win it all. We’ll see, though. Anything can happen in softball.
The Ho and I also went downtown to attend a vegan event being put on by one of her former co-stars. It was really cool, AND we got to visit The Last Bookstore, which is this massive two-story new and used bookstore which is very beloved and well known, but which I’d never actually been to. It was AWSOME. Love it. Can’t wait to finish my trilogy. I think then I’m going to get some author copies printed and offer to sell them to the local stores.
That’s all for tonight. I’m working tomorrow on editing and doing a short writing day. Then next week…it’s all writing and doing narrations. Getting back into the swing of that, too. I sold 4 books today, which was a vast improvement over the past few days. I thought my keywords and my price change were duds…but maybe not. Maybe I was despairing too soon. We’ll see.
Night!
