It’s Saturday — I slept in late, then took myself to the coffee shop. Rewrote the last chapter — didn’t require much work — added another 200 words or so there. Then I started the new chapter — did a full character analysis and plotted it out then wrote the first 500 words. I know […]

I actually got impatient this morning going through my FL on LJ. Not because people weren’t saying interesting things, but because I wanted to write. *Needed* to write. ::sits and marvels for a moment:: You know how long it’s been since I’ve felt that *urge*? Where if I don’t sit down and get those words
Did 500 words — have to go start the day job. Need to start on time today — otherwise I think I’d stay and write another 500. Also — GIP! It snowed here last night — probably 6″ of really wet snow. It came down in huge flakes. This morning all the trees and bushes
Got another 500 words done today. Kind of in a rush, but hey, they’re there! And I don’t hate them all! The good news — even though I was rushed this morning (slept in and didn’t exercise for various reasons) — even though it’s been a very short period of time that I’ve been writing
I actually wrote yesterday as well, just forgot to post. Yesterday — I’m not sure the number of words. Probably about 300 new words, with untold rewritten words. Finished chapter 3. And I mean *really* finished, as in, if I go back and do a rewrite again, it’ll just be a polish, instead of a

I’m wondering how much background I need to bring into this chapter, if I can leave some of the motivations behind the one character’s choices to be made clear
Managed 500 words of rewrite today. Didn’t actually write more than a sentence or two beyond the end of where I’d been, but at least I managed something. I actually have been writing the last few days, but it’s all been rewriting.
The homebeast is back, and I didn’t lose any data,. Life is good. Now, as ya’ll may or may not know, I’ve gotten into working out recently — either running or doing the elliptical, for 45 minutes, four or five days a week. I have a music player that I use when I exercise (a

I did make progress on the novel this weekend, I just didn’t post about it. But I made inroads with the next chapter, outlining as well as writing. So though I’m not making the kind of progress I should be making, at least I made some. My laptop should be home either today or tomorrow
About two weeks ago, for various reasons, many involving laziness, I stopped making daily backups of my computer (the home beast) Last night, my computer decided that it was no longer going to turn on. Push the power button and nothing happens. This is the second time this has happened to this machine. It’s still
