Profound, profane or pedestrian

Total for the day was 1699 - mind you, the tug of the re-write is very hard. *must resist*

I would also have written a bit more but for the fact that my "ten minute eyelid maintenance session" turned into a 90 minute nap!

Only 978 words today - but I had to stop writing because my head was just pounding. Will be better tomorrow. The good side is that the story has continued to flow even after I exhausted my notes.

Yesterday's notes came in hand quite wonderfully today. Spent a very pleasant few hours sitting outside under the pergola tying away on the laptop. I managed 2117 words, well ahead of the daily target (YAY!) but still about 900 short (BOO!) of the cumulative total due to yesterday's slow start. Mind you, I only used about half of the notes so hopefully tomorrow's total will be a good one too.

1339 words for a total of *drum roll* 50005 words!

WOOHOO!

I say again

WOOHOO!

Done! Finished! No more 4am starts! Fewer exclamation points.

1776 words for a total of 46875 words.

WOOHOO!

And this other story is just driving me crazy, waiting to be written.

I got up at 4am (on a Saturday, for frak's sake - see how subtly I slid that BSG reference in?) to try for my target of 45 000. I wrote all day (and again had my lunch made for me and served to me at the laptop, courtesy of spawn #1) and wrote 3717 words for a total of 45 099.

WOOHOO!

BSG S3 episodes 1-10, here I come!

WOOHOO!

A whopping 3172 words today for a total of 38716.

WOOHOO!

Mind you that took another 4am start and my right wrist feels like someone stood on it! Having said that, being 2000 words ahead of target at this point is a sheer joy! If I try for another marathon this weekend, I might be damn nearly finished. I think that deserves another cheer.

WOOHOO!

3001 words for a total of 34527.

WOOHOO!

I'm even 1187 ahead of target! Mind you, I do have to go to an AGM tonight as treasurer for the football club. Those meetings usually run for at least three hours so I probably won't get so much writing tonight.

Today was marathon day. Thanks to lunch made for me and delivered to me at the PC and generally being undisturbed by anything other than writing, I managed 2941 words for a total of 28627.

That still makes me 1379 behind target but I am not too worried because I also did a considerable amount of plotting which should mean the writing for the next few days could largely be a matter of filling in the gaps and expanding out some sketched-in scenes.

WOOHOO!

Back in the groove - 1173 words for a total of 24687.

WOOHOO!

I was hoping to be past 25 000 at this point, given that this is half way through but I'm happy that these characters keep finding things to do. They are even taking the story in the direction I wanted it to go overall - I just didn't expect it to be them doing it!

This weekend may require a marathon catchup session - or possibly a trip to Perth to buy the BtVS S8 Long Way Home TPB. Hell, who am I kidding, the TPB wins out every time! Sunday for the catchup, then. Heaven help me but I may even commit some plot points to paper. *shock* Do I even have paper any more?
