Day 3,578: Striking Distance

Day 3,578: Striking Distance

A very, very long day today. Whew. Work was hectic, and it totally prevented me from getting any writing done in the morning. Now, usually, that means absolute disaster, but you guys: I rallied! I didn’t take no for an answer, and I still cranked out 16 pages. Means...

Day 3,577: Too Shy

Day 3,577: Too Shy

Man. I came up two pages shy of 20 for the day. Blerg. I wonder if I can make that up tomorrow. Probably not, but that’s okay. Two pages is NOTHING, which is why its a litttllllee annoying that I can’t just push through and get them done tonight, but y’all: I am...

Day 3,576: Blue Skies

Day 3,576: Blue Skies

We survived the hurriquake. Was definitely not a hurricane by the time Hillary hit LA, but it did actually dump quite a bit of rain on us. Almost five inches in my neighborhood, apparently. That’s a lot for a single day down here. I will say this, though: it was...

Day 3,575: It Wet

Day 3,575: It Wet

So, it’s very wet in LA right now. Not very windy here, though, thank the stars. Joy absolutely REFUSED to go poop in the rain, so that’ll be a fun adventure tonight. Mainly, though…I did what I needed to do writing-wise. 80 pages this week. A colossal achievement, it...

Day 3,574: Sleeeeeep

Day 3,574: Sleeeeeep

Tried to take a nap today but I wasn’t tired. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. I’m definitely in the mode of fighting being TOO keyed up. Nice and steady, that’s what I want to be feeling. Not a rush. Andor, by the way, holy shit. It’s one of the best...

Day 3,573: Blackmail

Day 3,573: Blackmail

It’s late so making this a quick one folks. Finished up a busy work week with a much more chill day. Didn’t do any writing, but I have the weekend to get that shit done. A damn hurricane is coming. Sunday. Yikes. We watched Hitch’s first “talkie” and…it was a giant...

Day 3,572: Ample

Day 3,572: Ample

Yo. I’ve done it. 20 pages written for two straight days. That’s three out of my four writing days this week, and the one day I didn’t hit my goal, I wrote 15 pages that day. Busy work day. I. Am. FRIED. Absolutely fried. Crispy. Delirious. Totally zonked. I have a...

Day 3,571: whew

Day 3,571: whew

It’s a long, looonngggg day writing 20 pages, man. Takes it out of me. Which, I suppose is to say that I’m still getting used to it. It’s five hours of work. A solid five so as not to be rushing. If I try to rush, try to push, I start forcing things and that takes me...

Day 3,570: Rally

Day 3,570: Rally

I rallied. Just at the end. Didn’t quite hit my page goal, but I got within an hour or so of it. It’s been a busy couple weeks, y’all. Good lord. But somehow, I’m a third of the way through my story and speeding up. I’ve persevered. 50,000 words, 200 pages, and...

Day 3,569: Bam

Day 3,569: Bam

Wooo weee. I was THIS close to missing my page target for the day, but I pulled out a clutch writing session here at the very end to juuuust hit it. A fun section to write, I just went through, too. Lots of WORDS, because it was action and not dialogue, but a fun one....
