And the days fly away like horses over the hill

Yesterday was a so-so day.  In hindsight, it looks fairly productive, but I spent most of the day feeling like my head was full of cotton wool.  In the brief periods in between being wracked with a hacking cough, that is.

I wrote 1350 words on Never.  My current goal is 1000 words a day, though I’d love to get that back up to 2-3000 words a day.  The irritating thing is that I currently have the time to get that higher word count, if not even more, but I lack the focus.  Someone needs to invent a brain-fog removing drug.

Reading: I started and finished Stephanie Campisi’s half of Above/Below, Above.  And goodness, but I want to marry Campisi’s way with words.  I made a start on Ben Peek’s Below, but didn’t make it too far before meds made me need to sleep last night.  Alisa Krasnostein at Twelfth Planet Press has such an amazing eye for good fiction.  So far, I haven’t read any Twelfth Planet Books that I haven’t been absolutely amazed at.

Exercise: Managed a 30 minute walk, which was pure torture, since I was already exhausted.  Someone else might have elected to rest, but I needed to move.  The cooler weather is already increasing my joint pain, and it only gets worse if I don’t exercise.  Accompanying me was more catching up of I Should Be Writing, this episode featuring an interview with Nathan Bransford.

Media consumption: More Stargate Universe.  I find myself increasingly frustrated with the show.  There are some absolutely fantastic episodes and some that are almost boring.  And I pretty much lose track of everyone but the four or five main characters constantly (which is probably my own fault for always multitasking in front of the television).
