All work and no play the same kind of work and no different work makes Leah a dull girl.

Saturnalia
Words today: 250.
Words total: 3000.
Reason for stopping: Bedtime for dayjobbers. And this still doesn't have an immediate gateway conflict, even if I have the structure and overarching conflict and some nesting thematic parallels that are like seeing through time. I know what I'm talking about. I just don't know what I'm saying yet.
If that makes sense.
Munchies: Baked mac and cheese, caramel honeybush tea.
Darling du Jour: He stacks the limbs like cordwood. Janus is nothing if not meticulous.
Things Yet to Cough Up Their Names: Gregory's last name,Miss Shirley Sue MacGuffin. (Kaira. Of no last name. And no fixed address.)
Mean Things: Oh honey. Hangover's a bitch, isn't it?
Research Roundup: Kairos; whether there's an official feminization of that word (and there is).
Books in progress: Ellen Klages, White Sands, Red Menace.
The glamour: Post office run! Laundry! Cooking! Support mail! Yahtzee!
Making words is clearly superior to revising words. I'm sure this will now go back in the stewpot for another few weeks, but hey, it's not like I'm starved for things to do with my time.
Revisions also continue apace. I'll probably count up my pages at the end of the week and plop 'em here, and if you do your chores and say your prayers every night, you might even get some content. ;)
