Pace yourself, they say

Um, yeah.

So, apparently I sprained my brain with all that writing down of stuff yesterday, and today's writing was Hard and Took Forever. I am therefore officially not expecting to put the draft to bed by the end of tomorrow, but -- soon. Very soon.

Kind of a mixed grill day. Last night, I went to bed late and fried, and as a result slept badly for three hours, not at all for two, gave it up as a bad job and arose to find Exciting! Fledgling! News! in my inbox, which meant that I got a late start on breakfast, which, in retrospect would have been better if I'd just stir-fried the sausage, the left-over rice and some of the broccoli and skipped the whole egg experience. Somehow, the eggs made what I'd envisioned as a tasty meal into a boring meal. Funny how that happens sometimes.

Anyhow, after breakfast, such as it was, I retired to the couch and with the help of my mighty coon cat assistants immediately fell asleep. Woke sometime later, reviewed my notes and crawled through the next chapter, which is done, and me, too, so I'm going to go pour a glass of wine and watch -- what is the name of this thing, anyway? -- Enchanted. I think I'm currently at the recommended levels of intellectual rigor for viewing this movie.

Hope everyone is having a restful and stress-free holiday weekend.

"Stipulate," Daav said, before his brother could speak again, "that we are idiots of the first water, polished and ready to be set."

There was a moment of silence before Er Thom sighed and opened his eyes.

"Stipulated," he said.

I LOVED that movie! The first 20 minutes or so might raise your blood sugar to coma levels, but that's just to set the stage and is sort of necessary.

You're right about the level of intellectual rigor required :o)

Great movie! It's so nice when Disney pokes fun at itself. Enough cliches to drown you, but in a really fun way.

Wow

Congratulations! You've made it past 100K. That is so awesome and each snippet makes me want to read this book even more. :-)

Besides an invitation left on our windshield wiper to attend a teabagging party? I've been working on my first-ever con panel, steampunk in the movies.

"Stipulate," the reader said, "that these are snippets of the first water, finely polished, giving pleasure even in isolation, and lacking only their custom-wrought setting to be fully appreciated."

And did you slay the 100K, my beamish writer? Yeah!

Sorry, caught a cold this weekend, and ended up letting everything slide yesterday, so I missed this, but the wonder of the 'net is that it was still there, patiently waiting for me when I got around to it. Isn't it odd that the digital world so patiently preserves things for us, yet we've all gotten strangely anxious about getting to the new stuff as early as possible?

Anyway -- 100K! So there should be a climax somewhere in sight, and perhaps even a rest from this set of words? Is it time for another cliffhanger?

So Stipulated! Signed and Sealed. And over 100k words. Thank you for persevering.
