What I Did Today
Feb. 4th, 2012 06:55 pmI woke up at 2am, after 2 hours of sleep, thinking, MUST WRITE! STORY WAITING! ....0h brain. F**k you. Lemme sleep.
I had been dreaming about, among other things, spam emails and ex-husbands. WTF? I also woke up convinced that my passport was about to expire, which would have been problematic. Brain, seriously. You usually handle stress much better than this...
Despite the lack of sleep (I finally got about 4 hours, total) or perhaps because of it, I wrote another 3,500 words on Portals #1. I also corrected more of the OMGWTF plot logic fail that was in Draft 0. Sheeesh. This is what happens when you haven't decided between SubPlot 1 and SubPlot 2 until midway through the draft...
For an instant, he wanted only to run, to flee: she was a beast, baring too-sharp teeth and intending him harm.
56,000 words. I'd hoped to get to 60,000 by Monday morning but, well, we'll see. Probably not, as tomorrow...
Well, today I also made chili, for tomorrow is Superbowl Sunday, and there must. be. chili. I'm not sure I'm allowed at the party without it, at this point (it's good, but more to the point it is Tradition. And Superbowl is All About Tradition, even for me.) There's also going to be cornbread, but I forgot to get more eggs when I was at the store so that's the chore for tomorrow morning.
Tonight? I intend to put my tired backside to bed at an early hour, with sleeping aids if needful, that's my exciting plan for this Saturday night. There might be a movie, until I fall asleep. Yeah, it's wild around here, I'm tellin' ya.
Who else has Superbowl plans?
