Today’s progress:

Project: White Raven draft two

New words: 2,507

Total words: 81,532

Goal: 100k

Writing:

Not too bad today, though my concentration was such that I never really found the hole in the page.  In general, I’m getting more tired now and my concentration is starting to get worse.  Eh, it’s going to happen – my body has other priorities now than creating dream worlds.  I’m still determined to get this draft finished in the next month if possible, though.

I really don’t want to write the next scene, too.  It’s a bit of an emotional wreck of a scene and I’m finding myself wanting to do anything but write it.  I’ll have to get it done, though.  And then live in dread of the next emotional wreck scene

Real life:

Went for a walk this morning and ran some errands.  Almost fell over while running said errands – just got really hot and tired.  I really don’t want to have to limit my physical activity right now, but I’m probably going to have to start scaling it back a little bit.  Mreh.  Which means that I should make an effort to get some stuff done around the house now, while I still can (even if I am ridiculously awkward and unbendy).

Beauty:

Seeing the photos of the dust storm in Sydney.  I feel really sorry for asthmatics – my lungs cringe just looking at the photos.  But there is a strange kind of beauty in these kinds of weird weather phenomena.  Our world can be a surprising place.
