Rewrites

I was incredibly stupid last month. I changed one of my supplements (my 5-HTP.) As a result, writing became very difficult. Finally figured it out and changed back last Saturday. By Tuesday I was able to write again. Thursday fell into it easily, as well as today. It’s lovely, that joy, that deep novel place.

Oh so bad

Yeah, I’ve been bad. Really bad. When I first looked at what I needed to do for rewriting the clockwork novel I said, “It will only take me two weeks.” But I had four weeks. So I could have worked really hard all four weeks and made the book even better, right? Hell no. See

Closer

I wrote 2000 words tonight. Which means 3000, not 4000, words so far for the week. I’m hoping I’ll get 2000 done tomorrow, so I can type up at least some of it on the plane. It was difficult to start, tonight. My heart hurt, between jaylake‘s news, and a friend who’s been diagnosed as
