Novella

When it comes to Red Moon, my joint novel with Charles Sugars, I have been lazy and not written the next chapter yet. But I shall in due course.

In better news, I continue to work on my novel. The working title is Mindy Lightbearer, and I have thus far written 22k words.

In case you were wondering, here is how it goes:

1-7500 words = short story
7500-17,500 words = novelette
17,500-40,000 words = novella
40,000 words and up = novel

So I currently have a novella.

workin on it...

well, i managed to work some more on my sister's painting this morning. i feel somewhat less overwhelmed by it, but still worried that it'll not be cool like i want it to.

in weight loss news (which i realize i haven't really mentioned on here before), i managed to finally squeak my way under a dreaded milestone weight that i haven't been under in about 6 years. wheee! that's been kinda nice.

i feel like poop most of the time, due to a lung-shaking, muscle-straining cough, so i haven't felt the most motivated about things generally. excuses excuses!

good job going to the gym, drought!

i want to check out that chore wars thing, carl. looks fun!

Chore Wars (edited)

This might be a fun (and appropriate) way of tracking our RL goals:

http://www.chorewars.com/

I made a party and added some adventures. Join here.

P.S. We get XP, doggs. XP!

BloGs?!

Ok, so I don't have the hang of this blog thing yet. Thanks for the correction, Lisa

So far: it's snowed and rained and iced a billion times. I've scraped 800 pounds of various flavors of snow/ice from the driveway. I am READY for summer.

Laundry is clean but way not sorted. So, I haven't accomplished that goal yet.

Transcripts not yet sent.

Gym - been twice! woot

i did dishes.

i did not register the car.

it is ice, so i have not gotten the manifold replaced.

work = stress right now.

LISA. How goes the painting? 1 of 3 done?

JEFF. What's the writings aboot?

CARL. Thank you for the detailed description of your potential future.




THAT IS ALL (your base are belong to us..that is!)

Writing

The good news: one goal is being met. I have written at least a little bit of my book every single day thus far. I am up to 9200 words.

The bad news: no exercise yet.

There you go. Live the dream and dream the life.
