February 21, 2010 Progress Notes:
"When Your Number Isn't Up"
Words today: 250 tonight, and 250 the other night.
Words total: 5800.
Reason for stopping: It's late.
Darling du Jour: His leg splayed and twisted loose as he limped to the window; the mop sloshed across the floorboards in his hand.
Mean Things: People knowing you have a drug problem.
Research Roundup: The history of codeine as a controlled substance; 1940s detective slang.
Books in progress: Juliet Nicolson, The Great Silence: 1918-1920 Living in the Shadow of the Great War.
The glamour: Today? Low. I did not have a good day, or a good weekend.
I don't know if I'm going to keep doing these. I get the feeling a lot of people have stopped. But at least for tonight, here are some words slapped down on the table. They are very drafty, but they taste like gin and smoke, and in a couple drafts they will be good too.
