Jul. 25th, 2012 04:36 pmJuly 25, 2012 Progress Notes:
On Roadstead Farm
Words today: 425.
Words total: 26,525.
Reason for stopping: Dinner plans await.
Darling du Jour: You could see every speck of the land that had nurtured four generations of Hoffmanns from this spot. My great-grandparents had angled the old house for that very reason, when they'd planted it in the ground.
Mean Things: Someone inadvertently hitting way too close to home.
Research Roundup: N/A.
Books in progress: Gemma Files, A Tree of Bones
I've been tinkering at this all month, rewriting and revising and futsing, but this is the first day where there has been measurable forward progress, and not just replacing old words with different ones.
The stop-start, the revising, the long gaps in forward motion? This is, at least for me, what learning to write novels on proposal looks like.
CSA blogging later tonight, once I've hit the farmer's market and seen what there is to see there (I want tomatoes very, very badly).
