was this the day that is?

Sort of like twittering. only hopefully without the twit.


7am. stupid workmen and their stupid beeping truck.

10am. Minimum daily wordage accomplished. I can haz nap nao?

11am. still waiting on e-mails. *taps foot and glares at screen*

12pm. 2,000 words and I can sense I'm about to write myself into another corner. need to stop and think it through, first.

2pm. corner escaped. Some e-mails answered. others still waiting. political reading roundup is depressing me yet again, and it's too hot to think. going to take that nap now.

4pm. instead of napping, I lay on the sofa (Boomer sprawled on my back) and read more of Daniel Abraham's A SHADOW IN SUMMER. yes, I really am that far behind in my reading.

6pm. 3000 words for the day. discovered weird twitch in Word that's making the bottom few lines of my pages disappear. They're still there -- when I hit backspace they show up -- but the rest of the time they seem to be caught in a temporal warp. Very odd. Also damned annoying.

6:30pm. stare at the fridge and figure out what's for dinner. pour a glass of wine. chill.

My Word does that, too

Odd...

word does that to me, too, but only after I go over eight thousand words. Boo word, boo.

Oh, I'm well over 8,000 words at this point. Oddly, this seems to be something relatively new -- I've never noticed it before, and I've been using Word for years.

If it doesn't shape up, it may find itself dumped for another program.

You lie on your tummy to read? If I do that, if makes my ribs feel crushed. And then there was Boomer holding you down...

Have a lovely day! :-)

Word's done that to me too.

I think it's all the years of going down the shore when I was a kid/teenager -- I can't really read comfortably sitting in a beach chair (too much sun-glare) but I learned how to read propped up on my elbows.

And yeah, Boomer loves to stretch out along my back/side and rest his head on my shoulder. Since he's about 18" arse-to-ears....

WORD does that to me all the time. I have the roll the button on the mouse to get the lines to re-appear.

I used to use wordpad, most of the time, until word went all shiny and I went hee.

I used liquid binder and Y-writer for a bit. I don't really do well unless it's all in less than three documents, for continuity's sake.
