I'll get the downers out of the way first. That way the good things seem damn good.
- Still no hot water. The water heater is definitely showing up tomorrow
- My neighbor's delightful cat shat in my yard. I proceeded to step in it and track it throughout the house before I realized that stench was coming from my shoe.
- My back aches from my uncomfortable chair. I switched to a wooden kitchen chair around noon. It helped.
Now for the good stuff:
- I got up early and wrote before working from home. I am now just a shade under 3300 words. Not bad for the first day.
- The story flowed more smoothly than I thought. While I don't think I'll be able to consistently write 3300 words a day, I should be able to bust out a chapter without too much trouble. I'm about a chapter and a third into the story. I wanted to write the entire second chapter today since it introduces that asshole Fenlock but I was too fried after the first. The Fenlock piece still reminds me of a John Cleese bit but I'm keeping it the way it is.
- The water heater is definitely showing up tomorrow.
That's about all I have. I'm still a little fried from today's exertions.
my first day was a little rougher than i would have liked. I mean, i got my word count in and it only took about an hour, but it seemed a bit of a struggle. I think i just need some warm up time
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right. I don't feel nearly as fried as I did yesterday at this time. Fiction is so much more taxing to write than blog entries.
