Still crunchy, and now also insomnia-ridden. Glee!

And after Wednesday afternoon, I’m in California…so, sorry book, you get shuffled around to the back for a bit.

The Benadryl I took so I can sleep is kicking in. G’night.

I’m in the midst of a crunch at work, so work on the book suffers.

I did boost my memory on my home machine, though, and I am thrilled to say that Word docs now load in 5 seconds instead of (no joke) 60.

Still liking WriteItNow.

Beeeeed.

Another chapter done. Notes written. Lots more characters created. I am character-happy.

The count, for those who care, is at 6500 words. Closing in on that vital 1/10th of the way!

Anyway, time for bed. Ni-night.

A few paragraphs tonight. More drama needed. I’ve been watching ER reruns fairly religiously the last few months, and I admire there amazing ability to turn the beat around with some well-timed drama. I can only imagine the script writers sitting around with a scene and some senior writer saying, “Now, have her do THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what a normal person would do!” or “Now, MAKE THE PLACE EXPLODE.”

I caught a glimpse of the mother of migraines today, and must I say that is one ugly mother.

We are now up to 4500 words, and Chapter 02 is half-written. Hoorj!
