I didn’t get off to a running start this morning. Raise your hand if you’re surprised. But in the afternoon (late, late afternoon) I finally put away my internet-surfing and started tapping away at the book. 2523 words, and I made Greg walk the dog and then…
Had the best shopping experience (although clearly and by yards the most expensive) I’ve ever had. I owe it to my friend Meghan, who guided me through stores I usually bypass altogether, told me when things didn’t look right (and made it seem like it was the…
1051 words, against all odds. Next goal: to get a 1000 in before noon tomorrow, when Meghan comes to pick me up for our trip to the mall. We need to rebuild me from the (high) heels up, fashion-wise, since I’ve been wearing sweatshirts and yoga pants…
At the moment the word count stands at goose egg. Zero. I’m not proud. Well, I’m not without a little pride, because I’ve spent part of my time today doing a good deed for a friend who just had a baby. But not too much pride, because…
76,359, which is (calculators out) 2412 words today. I feel every one of them right now. Tired, brain melting. It’s definitely going to take more than 80,000 to wrap this up, which puts all my math into question. The only thing I know is that we are…
I’m making dinner and reading about “giving my wardrobe a wake-up call” because, dude, I need that. Where do, you know, girls shop? Not Target. I know about Target. Where do girls shop who need people to think they know what they’re doing, you know, career-wise? Change…
OK, real quick because I’m on the dog’s-eating clock and I’ll be rounded up in a second: 2100 words! Total word count: 73,947. Wrote the first 1200 with Mary Anne at Eli’s Cheesecake World. I know. But it turned out to be a rather pleasant, if dangerous…
1212 words at the Book Cellar, the best independent bookstore in Chicago (in my opinion, not least because they have hosted several quite successful student readings for my RU crew). They have a cafe that does pretty brisk business. Their cupcakes are deadly. Note to self: don’t…
Oh and while the CHALL-ONGE! was going on, I rolled over some mileage. The word count now stands at 70,635. I’m just so scared I won’t get all my ideas down fast enough, before they fall out of my head.
