May 10, 2013 Progress Notes:

On Roadstead Farm

Words today: 1000.
Words total: 62,050.
Reason for stopping: P. is home, with Vietnamese takeout and an offer to rub out my achy shoulder.

Darling du Jour: I turned down the gravel path to the outbuildings, and past, and thought: The army is a small town.  Tyler lives there.  I do not.
Mean Things: Oh look, it's army scouts coming to find the secret things you're really not supposed to have on your property.  Have a nice day!

Research Roundup: Cities with high populations of Chinese-Americans and Arab-Americans.  There's a whole article for the Chinese-Americans.  They hide the information for Arab-Americans.  Evil, evil sign of the times.
Books in progress: [livejournal.com profile] matociquala, Range of Ghosts.


Y'know?  I am going to do these again.  Because I need to write a lot of words in a small space of time (note how the totals have changed since I stopped doing metrics; blame many false trails, thousands of trashed words, and several rounds of mid-stream revisions, because this project is just being like that) and have the overall feeling of being trapped in my last semester of undergrad.* And I have kind of needed to be alone with this particular jellyfish-wrestle for a few months, but at this point I feel like I could use some other people on board, to at least be there when we stuff the mixed metaphor into the bucket with the bunghole and the thingie.

Selfish, maybe?  But I will attempt to provide good darlings and witty repartee.

*switches deathmarch metrics to ON*

*"I can't do this!" "But you have to." "How?  I'm so tired." "I don't know, but you have to, so you will."
