Hey Folks,
Well, another all but sleepless night, but due to my own stupidity. Something I ate, late, when I knew better.
Then I spent the first few hours deflecting a crapstorm. I won’t go into it here, but I had to include that much as part of the accounting of the day.
Suffice it to say I’ll be late getting out to the Hovel today. So we’ll see how that goes.
***
Got to the Hovel around 9 and started a new story. Then I remembered something else I had to do up at the house, so I headed up there.
***
Well, I spent the majority of the morning fielding vociferous emails from a spoiled little girl who’s actually in her mid-40s but going-on 15. Somehow she’s come to imagine she’s the General Manager of the Universe.
People like that are all the more reason to escape into writing fiction. She’ll have a major role in an upcoming story.
I won’t bore you with details of the morning, but there went most of the writing day. Thursday’s only a half-day anyway.
By the way, somehow I didn’t add yesterday’s fiction total below. The numbers below are correct now.
See you tomorrow.
