Only about 1400 new words on Pack of Lies yesterday, but they're good words I'm quite fond of, and much of the day was swallowed in Things Other (including, yay, an hour at the gym).
Today I did about 900 words in the morning, then went off and had Carlos work his magic.
( massage neep, for them as are interested )
And then I came home and did the rest of my daily word count. 1500 words a day is a hell of a way to write a book, but it gets it done without the writer getting dead. Hopefully. After a rough start that involved tossing the entire first chapter, I'm liking where this book is going, and how the characters are developing. There's an awful lot front-loaded to set up the caper, but I'm confident that second draft will even things out...
Have been watching the news ticker as it goes by but not flailing myself into the thicket of recriminations re: Obama I've seen elsewhere. I counted on him to be a solemn, pragmatic adult, and so far that's what I'm seeing. Sadly, the people who would be otherwise strong supports seem to have fallen into the "everyone does it, it's okay" pit, and now we're suffering for it (yeah, TD, we're looking at YOU). Dudes, what part of 'accountability" did you think you were going to skate on?
Anyway. Politics, like the economy, is slow and ugly these days. But at least it's being thoughtful and reality-based.
And now I need to gird myself against the gale force winds (not kidding) and head into Little Italy for Jim Blaylock's launch party (and the first official sighting of Ellen Datlow's Leg-wrappings). Play nice while I'm gone, kids!
