More of the dusty road.

February 11, 2012 Progress Notes:

On Roadstead Farm

Words today: 250.
Words total: 15,900.
Reason for stopping: It's late, and I don't want to screw up my sleep schedule.

Darling du Jour: The tails of his soft-check shirt slopped over both thighs: the one angled down, bent-knee, to rest normal on the floor; the one stretched straight out, heel resting on the chair opposite, in a way that once would have been a sharp discourtesy.
Words Hallie Won't Admit to Knowing: She still doesn't like rude, which is funny considering how much she's talking about what's good manners and what isn't.
Mean Things: Hallie really is perenially crabby. I mean, she has reasons, but crab crab crab.

Research Roundup: N/A.
Books in progress: Lynn Coady, The Antagonist.


This is a cursory obligatory page of fiction, for a day when I was mostly out with friends eating food (first brunch at Barque, and might I add oh my god blueberry pancakes with smoked duck on them what is this magic; then later, extremely vegetarian dinner at Fresh). It was pretty cold out today. This was a good day to mostly spend inside places, restaurants and people's apartments and such, eating food with one's friends.

I feel good that things are at a point where even if I start at midnight, I get, at least, my page.

Goodnight, internet.

I like that our Michigan Novel word counts are close. I hit 14,500 tonight! :)

Ooh. I'm sure you'll be past me soon. This thing crawls.

I dunno, mine is pretty crawly, too. Maybe it's something about Michigan. Though in my case, I think it's actually the difficult protagonist.
