progress, um, progresses...

Food consumption today: two bagels, one with a bit of salmon spread on it. Yeah, must be writing. 2,500 new words this morning. Story seems to have gotten its legs under it, finally. Writer, however, still a bit shaky on hers, so there was a mid-day nap. Another 1,500 in the afternoon. Have utterly abandoned original outline that wasn't working, and letting story take the lead. This, as I discover time and again, is really the best thing.

Drives my editor batshit, though.

Can I get through another thousand or so words tonight? We Shall See.

Also, laundry-monster has been soundly defeated. Go, me! I shall have clean socks for Balticon.

In other news, I caught myself in the midst of my 'thinking thinky thoughts" tell, which means that my hair is long enough to braid again. So it's decision time: grow it out, or get it chopped off? What say you all?

Wait until I actually SEE you on Thursday, then I will offer considered opinion.

I respectfully will wait until I see you this weekend to give my opinion about your hair.

ah, but by then the deed will either have been done or not-done...

Speaking as a longfurred critter, I recommend growing it out.

"Thinking thinky thoughts" tell? What do you do? I vote for long, btw.

I French braid my hair. Amusing - except when you start to do it in meetings... (so I'd always braid my hair before I went into a meeting!) When my hair is shorter, I might run my fingers through it, but that's less obvious a tell.

I too go with growing your hair long.
