Yay for a day off from the day job! Yay for being lazy all morning! Yay for writing all afternoon! Yay for crack night tonight! I finished chapter six today. Wrote about 3500 words today — 20 pages long hand. Chapter is 36 pages long hand total, which should be about 6500 words when typed […]
Because I am lame I forgot to post that I am going to Portland this weekend with the lovely schnaucl. Anyone around on Saturday night for dinner? We’re doing a pilgrimage to Powells and spending the night at a cute B&B. Today was a mostly good day, except for my massive allergy problems. I went

Well, mostly. I didn’t write yesterday (Saturday) morning. Friday I ate something I shouldn’t have, and so ended up with a migraine. Didn’t take migraine medicine for it, though, as it was so mild I figured it would go away after sleep. I was wrong, and by the time I woke up Saturday morning it
It’s SO NICE to have time again. I can’t even begin to express how happy it makes me. To have time to have a life again. We had wind storms this afternoon. And no power for probably close to 1 1/2 hours. Which is nothing, I know, compared to last year when people didn’t have

I wrote tonight. Let me state that again. I wrote tonight. It’s really the first time since August sometime that I’ve put pen to paper like this. I did about 6 1/2 pages. Generally, for me, ,about 5 1/2 pages is about 1000 words. If I’m staying true to form, tonight was 1000+ words. Basically,

I finished the rewrites for HARP OF STARS this morning, the first book in the Six Kingdoms trilogy. I’m going to print it out either later today or tomorrow and send it to my agent. Final word count according to MS Word: 103, 821 I’m kind of wowed. I’m also really looking forward to starting
