Scary post!

Random update
I finished handwriting chapter eleven this morning. It’s 36 handwritten pages, which should be right around 6000 words when I type it up. Before I wrote I did plotting, figuring out the key scenes of chapter twelve, as well as chapter thirteen. I still have more plotting to do of chapters thirteen and fourteen, but
Economics of abundance
Didn’t write tonight. Did go to Tai Chi. It was lovely. Still feeling the itch to write but I have to sleep! Wanted to share this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuxMJ8lnYA4 It’s by one of the main writers at TechDirt, one of the blogs I follow. One of the things that they talk about (a lot) is the whole

Like that.
This morning, when I was thinking about the day, I realized that I was going to get to write tonight. I thought about it off and on all day. It’s so nice to have that fire back. Wrote another 1800 or so words tonight. Still not finished with chapter ten. But I still love where
Weighed down?
I learned something very interesting this morning. As ya’ll may or may not know, I meet with a trainer once a week at the gym. (I’d love to go more than once a week, but it’s so expensive.) I’ve been doing this for a year and a half now. Because my core is so strong
Icons!
I managed another 1800 words this morning, before working all day for the day job. Now am goofing off a bit before I need to do more stuff. I love fall, I love the fall colors. I have hundreds of pictures of colored leaves. I took some more pictures this weekend, and made some icons.
Stuff
I’ve finished typing up chapter nine this week. Here’s the word count meter. 51982 / 100000 I wrote about 2500 words today on chapter ten. I’m thrilled with where it’s going, how these characters are developing, and the arcs that are showing themselves to me. I have such a better idea how to refine these
Confession
I have a confession to make. I think I’m bi-urban. Or maybe it’s just urban-curious. And it isn’t Seattle. I *love* Seattle. I love my life here, my life style, everything. But it isn’t enough. It isn’t you. It’s me. I need more. And just one city doesn’t do it for me. Poly-urban? It’s official.
New addition!
I have a new grand niece! She was born last night at 11:55 PM. Both mother and baby are doing fine. Also, my other niece graduated this weekend from Emery-Riddle Aeronautic University, with a Bachelor’s in Aeronautical Science. I am immensely proud of her.
Artist date
Tonight I went to see The BQE, Sufjan Stevens’ film about the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. It’s a pretty experimental film. I think I would have liked it more if I commuted on the BQE, if I knew more about it. This isn’t to say that I didn’t enjoy the film. I actually did. But that was
