writing work done over the weekend
Posted on | 3 years, 11 months ago, in the evening | No Comments
I don’t have huge numbers to post, but (a). it’s the weekend and (b). I’m definitely getting sick. Even so, I’ve averaged about a thousand words a day during my slump, so I’m not complaining.

Things Accomplished in Fiction: Shook up protagonist like a hornet in a jar, let him loose; introduced a side character or two; had supper (wocka wocka); began process of plotting destruction of enemies.
Things Accomplished in Real Life: Saw a movie or two; went to University District farmer’s market with Ellen; drank a lot of coffee; spent some time wandering in a bookstore; meandered pointlessly through the mall; composed, printed, stamped, mailed a letter to an elderly aunt.
Reason for Stopping: I need to get up and take another round of meds. I can’t tell if this is allergies or illness, but I’m popping pills for both. Also, if I sit here any longer I’m going to fall asleep. Time for more coffee, maybe.
