I got another 1100 words out at lunch putting my total up to 11,420. I was pretty happy to break 10k last night and it came up quicker than I expected. I'm starting to like the process. Not the story, mind you, but the process. I actually feel like I'm getting something accomplished.
I'm liking it, a lot. Too bad the story blows the mighty chunks of tuna and half eaten baby seal, so badly. This is still tough, but it doesn't seem impossible.
I just wish I could spend more time writing at that right time of day, when I'm alert and feeling in the groove. Right after morning coffee is done (11 AM-ish). It's tough at night (although I did my personal best last night; 2200 words in about 90 minutes). And today wasn't easy to get started. Just as I started to feel like it was coming, I noticed time was short.
I have my characters stuck at a Mexican restaurant there's some more of the plot coming at this point. Strangely, I keep finding ways to avoid it. They sit, they chat and it should come out here. But then the waitress shows up. Then the drinks, then the food. It's like I can't let this part be revealed and it's not like it's an exposition or anything. It's just a point that moves the story along.
I appear to be stalling.
Or maybe I just want them to finish the meal. The main character (MC) has been hungry since page four. I think in the rewrite she should eat something somewhere along the way, because I have this feeling that so much time has passed she should have fallen into some hypoglycemic shock by now. If there is a rewrite. I might just set it on fire when I'm done.
Which will be hard on the laptop.

Gmail
I've also changed me email to use my gmail account. I never use it, but I also never use my evilwayne accounts. It's really too much of a hassle because they're set up on my laptop, at least with gmail I can use any internet connection to check it. But if you're already talking to me via one of the plethora of email accounts I have, then just stick with what works.
