Writerly Morning

This is my ONE day of vacation between the spring and the summer semester, so I’m trying to squeeze a lot of life out it. I’m with the Iowa City writers group in the Java House Coffee shop, trying to get warmed up again. It’s slow going. I started writing two scenes that pretty much were dull, boring and pointless.

I think I’m onto something now.

By the way, I managed to make it to the Prineas and Butler reading last night, and enjoyed myself. Sarah was also reading at the aforementioned coffee house on the radio today. So, groovy.

I think I need another cup of coffee, and then I get to look into the depths of our main troll’s soul.

Well, that scene’s written, and I think it’s lunch now, so let’s do some stats and come back later.

31138 / 90000 words. 35% done!

17707 / 50000 words. 35% done!

6488 words behind or 2018 words per day. Obviously, I need to do more later!
