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.
I’m on Liam duty tomorrow; aiming to be there for 2pm. Note to self: check bus routes for most effective way to get from studio to yours.
And I’m not at all surprised you got 1600 words by adding little bits everywhere. One surefire way for me to add words during NaNo is to write longhand and then transcribe into the ‘puter. I always expand as I go.
I think she might have gone into some kind of trance at the end there, which would account for the words-from nowhere. Liam was quietly watching a video and I distinctly heard a lot of tackity-tacking from the other room, indicative of word count being accumulated.
I didn’t sleep last night either. I was just too stubborn to get out of bed.
Hey man
wow, This site is different from the others
