several days at once

Public service message to all my friends and family: STOP CALLING ME. IT IS NOVEMBER. TRY AGAIN AFTER DEC. 1ST.

THANK YOU. /end

It could be said that I am very behind - and that could be true. Ok yeah, it is true. I'm like 5k behind. (Sitting at just over 13k on day 11)

BUT!

That is not too much to come back from. I've got a weekend upcoming, and this time I'm not going to let a million people pull me in a million directions. I'm going to go grocery shopping, buy some wonderful food, and lock myself in my apartment with it.

I keep telling myself that there's the lovely reward of the Venture Bros. season finale on the 21st if I can catch up - which involves, if I can take Doc at his word, "the best fucking homeschool prom $500 can buy." All I have to say to that is "yarrrrr."

Listening to: Michael Giacchino - Star Trek soundtrack

I am now attempting to choose a surname for a character who has not had one for more than five years.

rawr.

So I didn't get a single word written yesterday, due to attending a webseries premiere. But! I'm back on the horse today. I watched a disc of Samurai Champloo and I've got a few new ideas, and a renewed zeal to boost the humor quota. You can only let your heroine be emo for so long.

I would like to make someone duel - but I have no idea who.


Listening to: Kick-Ass soundtrack

Day 4 post-op.

Today I'm cutting myself some slack. I've been kind of sleep-deprived all week, so I'm calling it a night early at 695 words. Total word count 6195. I'm about 2k behind where I'd like to be, but I intend to get some solid extra work done this weekend after sleeping to the crack of noon.

Listening to: still Inception (such a good soundtrack)

Observation

My subconscious is wayyyyy too dramatic. I can't believe I just pissed off my most buoyant character.

Good thing this month's production is just a first draft. (The surprises along the way are half the point.)

Jul is in the forest and being quite emo.

Listening to: Hans Zimmer - Inception

Day 3 post-op.

2121 words written today. No, that is not a made-up number, and neither is the grand total - 5500. These things just happen.

Today Jul is still at school. I have a feeling she'll still be at school tomorrow. Maybe maybe not. It depends on how many classes I want to give an introduction to. Ms. Miller and Mr. Tailor were really the only two teachers whose characters I already knew. So I could possibly move ahead to the forest and come back for the others. Maybe.

Hahahahahhahaha. (I have now entered delirium.)

Kei was awesome today. The best part? He hasn't even *said* anything yet. Yeahhhh.

Quote of the day is from Arrested Development:
"Don't ask 'Can I?' Ask 'I can!'"
#STEVEHOLT


Listening to: T.A.T.U. - Clowns (200km/h in the Wrong Lane)

On the introduction of Kei.

Kei just stepped into the manuscript for the first time, and I've got to say, he made a much better showing than I expected.

And that's saying something.

Rhys is going to have a hard time following that act.

(There is a huuuuuge grin on my face.)


Listening to: Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard - Why So Serious? (The Crystal Method Remix)
