Four and a half pages on miscarriage, two and a half on bed rest, two on infant hospitalization, five on a ritual to help spiritually and emotionally release a failed pregnancy. And you wonder why I was avoiding the chapter on grief? Soon I get to write a requiem ritual. The fun never stops.
Part of me wants to write another sixty words to hit 3,500 today, but I’ve spent the last forty-five minutes saying, “I’ll just write X more words to hit this nifty close round number” over and over. My back hurts, and there’s the boy to go fetch. And hmm, I’m hungry.
Today’s amusing typos: Germanium essential oil helps soothe stress. (That’s likely to amuse the original membership of the Nebula Book Club.) And then there was the right to greve, which is probably only funny if you live in a francophone city where various unions go on strike regularly.
But the zone purifier from which we refine our germanium remains to be repaired!
(Can’t believe I got to that first!)
3500 words? I’m in awe! Awesome progress, Arin!
One wonders if essential oil of germanium is the byproduct of the refining process.
I’m rather happy with the progress myself. Particularly since it means I am now officially One Whole Week Ahead, as 28,000 was next Friday’s goal.
Or is it necessary to the refining process? As in, we cannot repair the zone purifier until we have some essential oil of germanium? Strains of “there’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza”, if you will.
One Whole Week Ahead is a fantastic place to be. I’m glad the book is going so well (writing the sad bits notwithstanding).
Congratulations! That’s a whole lotta words!!
(Two and a half pages on bed rest. . . two and a half months on bed rest. . . Sounds about right to me!)
