Dear flist, I am sorry I am so far behind in LJ/IJ-land. I’m sorry to the people I usually chat with that I’ve been non-chatty or not around lately. I’m in my winter funk, I think. Or something. Anyway, I’m still alive, I had a “Grey Street” moment today (Hey, …

There were times I wasn’t sure what I was doing, and I will never again change horses mid-stream during November, but I have validated my novel! In the course of validating, I always scramble my text, because I am an uber-paranoid nerd. It was so much fun seeing character names …
Oh man, I finally actually went to bed around 10 (added a lot more to my word count though!) and got up at one point during the day to use the toilet, get some water, check my email, then I collapsed again until 6. And now I can’t move my …

26671 / 50000 words. 53% done! 1,381 words today, not as much as I’d hoped, but I required pep talks from slightlyjillian, krycek_chick, and astraea36. Yes, I was needy today. Tomorrow I may take my laptop to Barnes & Noble just to make myself work on the bloody novel instead …
25290 / 50000 words. 51% done! Things came together tonight. Suddenly the new direction I needed to take gelled, and I’ve got a plan again. I need to write out a lot more new plot cards, but I’m very pleased with my progress for the night, simply because I got …
Well, not really. But I’ve just noticed that the town where I was born made USA Today. The monument at the Tippecanoe Battlefield was ‘defaced’. The so-called vandals wrote “America repent” and “Tecumsehs not dead” [sic] and “Give us back our spiritual capital.” Everyone is appalled, of course…but me, I …
