Ugh. Have been having a Bad Week, and a Particularly Bad Day.

Nonetheless:

Total word count, ESTC: 30,687
Total words today: 1,684

30,687 / 50,000 (61.4%)

This is completely and totally due to Ceri taking Liam duty for three hours this afternoon. Well, that and the research I did at 4.30 this morning. (The Particularly Bad Day began then, and I had to do something other than lie awake and stare at the ceiling, wishing I was asleep.) I have absolutely no idea how over sixteen hundred words appeared in my manuscript — it occured to me that I may have copied three pages into another chapter instead of cutting and pasting, but I can’t seem to find it — but I’m not going to turn them away. I’m at that point in the book where I’m adding little things all over because the bulk of each chapter is done, and that never feels like I’m writing a large amount.

Orchestra tonight. I’m so tired that I can’t even remember what we’re playing.
