I made curry tonight from one of my favorite cookbooks 5 Spices, 50 Dishes. While the curry was good, the recipe says that it gets better as it ages, and I believe it. It tasted — I don’t know — light. I served it over cauliflower rice. Yum. It was a lot of work, however. […]

I am officially declaring victory. 7000 words, baby. I haven’t typed up all those words yet. I’ll start tonight, probably not finish until tomorrow morning. Still. I only managed about 1000 on Friday, less than that on Saturday, and the rest today. The main reason I’m doing this is as part of the Clarion West
On the way to Jaycon. Had to be in the Seattle office for the day job yesterday, then went out to dinner then the Clarion West party. Only managed 1000 words, but I’m okay with that. Wrote another 800 it so this AM. Will write more tonight. This morning I wrote the scene I wanted

It took me a lot longer to write 2000 words than it should have. In part, it was because I was experimenting with writing directly on the computer, instead of handwriting everything, then typing it up later. I don’t think the words are as good, and the process certainly took forever. But I’m going to
Still feeling very iffy. However, after I sit for a long period of time I start to feel better. Then I make the mistake of thinking that I might be getting well, I try to do something, and I start to list to one side. It isn’t pretty. I sat for a couple of hours
Woke up feeling like crap this morning. No voice. I suspect it’s a sinus infection. I still wrote about 1000 words this morning. Am trying to catch an earlier flight home. Don’t think I’ll manage any more words today. Posted via LjBeetle
