Thud: On Roadstead Farm (evening edition)

May 30, 2013 Progress Notes:

On Roadstead Farm

Words today: 700.
Words total: 82,700.
Reason for stopping: Bedtime cometh.  And I promised I'd be there before three tonight.

Darling du Jour: A bitter laugh bubbled out of me. It echoed on the stones. "You bet it isn't safe," I snapped, and Nat grabbed my elbow: Careful. There were knives out, here. There were shovels.
Someone was going to die.

Mean Things: Death by invasive species, because I'm hardcore; not being sure exactly who's going to lynch whom.

Research Roundup: Effects of running in winter air.
Books in progress: [livejournal.com profile] matociquala, Range of Ghosts.


P. made mango shrimp for dinner.  Best P. ever.

Just a little bit more tonight: It's late, but I wanted to get over the 2,000-word hump for the day.  So I went over Chapter 17 and what I have of Chapter 18 again to squeeze out all the Suck Juice, and they are both somewhat improved.  Moral: Eat vegetables and protein when writing words.  They make the brain go better.

Tomorrow is a weirdly staggered day, because I have a long-standing appointment for a haircut, and so there will be an hour or two where I can't actually wreck my wrists on this.  I need to spend that time wisely.  Possibly reading.  This well could stand some filling back up.

More tomorrow.  General goals: Finish Chapter 18.  Maybe Chapter 19 too.  Slide merrily down the downslope of the third act.
