Through the days of shame that are coming
Through the nights of wild distress
Though your promise count for nothing
You must keep it nonetheless.
--Leonard Cohen
Progress notes for 12 March 2008 (part 2)
In a sort of improvement, I now know what happens in the book. I just don't really feel like writing it. Still, I suppose boring, boring, BORING! is better than dreadful, dreadful, DREADFUL.
Also, I found a photo of me on flickr from VP (http://www.flickr.com/photos/89986804@N00/1529117692/), in which I have really good hair. How often does something like that happen? I even think it looks like me. Me with good hair!
Chill:
New words: 1282
Total words: 19010
Deadline: April 15
Mammalian assistance: Cat vulturing from chair back
Reason for stopping: 19K, and I have to go start revising "King Pole" and practice guitar a little
http://meter.writertopia.com/words=19010&target=100000&mood=3
Tomorrow I break 20K! Fifth of a book! It always seems to go faster once you've ground your way past that point. 0.0
Other writing-related work: Must edit "King Pole"
Guitar practice: Dunno what I'll play today. I really need to get my right hand doing more interesting stuff.
Today's words Word don't know: unseeled, businessy, outmassed, nonthreatening, feathertips, treelimbs, uncatch,
Words I'm Surprised Word Do Know: filamentous
Sustenance: coffee and water
Mean Things: vibrating knives, durance vile, family loyalty
And I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair
With a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere.
--Leonard Cohen
