Callisto's Journey

The Battersbys are screaming into the lead with excellent numbers already, Calli has already started to fall by the wayside but insists that slow and steady wins the race. Beautiful performance by Cassiphone and I expect Chaosmanor will pull ahead in the next few days.



Heee!

OK, whining over. I am going to continue writing for a bit, see how it goes, so if you want to see the zontaku metre moving thingy, then comment here and I will create a filter so you can see my wordcounts. I'm going to spend december pulling apart everything I wrote and putting it all into seperate folders, I think. Just so that I can do some editing when I feel like it. I'd like to re-read my poly pagan discourse, and I know one or two people might be interested in that too. Plus there's one short story that needs polishing, one short story that needs finishing, and some porn that needs finishing, polishing, and burying.

I'm 1768 words from getting my 70k. I have almost 10,000 words of novel in there as well, and that's all I've been working on for a couple of days. And now I just can't write the rest.

Tomorrow then, I guess.

I was working on a novel, and I hit a great streak for a thousand words or so, but Vinnie is extremely clingy today. I don't know what to do with him, and I'm still reacting to things around me rather than acting in advance, which I think is because I am still exhausted. Maybe I was tired or sick before this weekend too, because I feel dizzy way too easily, and I'm just drained and can't be bothered to do anything more than just lie on the couch and watch TV with him. I know he needs me now more than ever, so I'm holding and playing with him more than I ever have but I'm just so frazzled and he won't leave me alone ever. I don't sleep well at night, last night was the first time I got about a good six hours of sleep in there, and I still don't think I've really cried to release the stress of the weekend. I'm happy staying at home right now, and have been for about three weeks, which sounds scary to me as well, since I usually need to get out at least once in a week! I don't know what I need right now but maybe 8 - 10 hours of decent sleep would be a good start, and maybe some more alone time at the moment.

Anyway, despite showing all the signs of tiredness, Vinnie is insisting he doesn't want to go to sleep. I'm thinking of just going in there and lying on the bed with him, in case he's just scared to go to sleep. I'd understand that after Saturday night.

Thank you, thank you for your patience.

I had a final push because my tax return and FTB A and B came through, and we only have one bottle of Champagne! So now.... I can relax and celebrate!

Very little writing done today. Nano-retreat tomorrow! Kind of wondering if I will have anything to type tomorrow! Bit worried about inspiration and all that, so hoping that someone will take down some of those books with exercises in them if I need help. I expect I will be going to walks and stuff when I run out of ideas, which will be nice, and a nice lunch with every one will be lovely. I found a writer book here but i think it was a freebie I picked up somewhere cos it's not very thick andnot very interesting, and I have friends who have written more than this author has. :-) (Other than Sean even!) I think I have a lot to talk about, but right now I think my eyes are starting to cross. I am looking forward to tomorrow. :-) But I know I will pass the 35k mark tomorrow, like the Nanowrimo email recommended for this week, it's only a few k and that's easy. I remember when I was in uni and I couldn't even provide a 1500 word essay! These days I would be really good at uni!! I thought about hitting up some friends for exersizes to write and play with, but I am sure I will be fine. If I ever figure out how to spell exercizes. :-)

Today has been a great day. I watered plants, added more soil to my potatoes, discarded unhappy seeds, did some cleaning, caramelizing onions, read some writing book, showed Vinnie Yellow, changed his toys around and rearranged the loungeroom. Plus I also painted some plate and drink coasters. (They are green!) So, yeah, busy day!
