She says nobody wants to believe

Yesterday was another productive day, if one with a slow start due to a certain child who woke at 5:30am, resulting in very grumpy parental units.

1400 words on Never, which brought me past the 40k mark.  As I write using Scrivener, I don’t actually keep track of my total word counts most of the time.  I decided to have a look yesterday and was pleasantly surprised.  I guess it all does add up eventually.

I finished reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which I enjoyed thoroughly.  In the mail, I received Tansy Rayner Roberts‘ new book The Shattered City, which I am looking forward to reading with unabashed glee.

Exercise was on the lower end of what I like to do, mostly due to me still dealing with the lingering cold of Doom and a teething kid who wanted cuddles.  About 25 minutes of sedate walking while pushing the pram.  The good thing about transitioning from swimming to walking is that I get to listen to podcasts again while exercising.  Yesterday, I was catching up on I Should be Writing, which is hands down one of my favourite podcasts to listen to.  I’d missed that Mur had launched a subscription-only section of the site, and promptly subscribed as soon as I got home.

Media consumption last night consisted of the latest episodes of United States of Tara and Stargate Universe.  While casting the occasional glance at the Blu-rays the husband bought yesterday (Mad Men season four, Tron Legacy and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One.  We’ve seen all before apart from the last.)
