weekend update (downdate?)

[lagilman]

Knowing that the week will, hopefully, bring the return of Better Homes & Deadlines, I had planned to do a hard push on the WiP this weekend.

48 hours + massive caffeine + Insomnia Cookies = 5,800 new words. It would have been more, but the weekend also brought with it the sinus headache that Will Not Die. Ugh. Still, I think good stuff was done, and I'm now one-and-a-half chapters away from (very) rough draft, alleluia.

It took us four bars and more beer than I was comfortable drinking that early in the day, but we finally found a little pub where at least half the clientele were non-human. The rest looked to be Nulls, surprisingly. Or maybe not surprising at all: people who were half in the bag before noon probably didn’t blink if their drinking buddy, in better light, might possibly have horns, or wings, or iridescent skin.

I also wrote out a quick precis for the crack story idea, and a longer option proposal, and read a collection of novellas from Christine Feehan. Yay me.

And now I am going to take the drugs that will kill this headache once and for all, and when I wake up it will be Monday. Or, possibly, Tuesday.


How was everyone else's weekend? Anyone do anything exciting I can envy?

We went to Cambridge for a dinner.

I'd be more jealous is wine and rich food weren't both contraindicated when I have a headache like this.... was it at least not raining?

We had both rain (in the mornings) and sunshine (in the afternoons). We had great wine (a 2000 St. Juilien and I forget the year Haut Médoc). But we didn't have rich food. My SIL is not what I would call "haute cuisine".
