Word Counts for 3/24/07

My bad. I forgot to post this yesterday before I went to bed.

Word Counts for Belladonna Dreams

Goal for the day: 750
Actual words written: 1078

Starting line: The last one had almost accepted him.

Ending line: “Shut up!” I said, flushing.

Darling: “If I could, I would, darling,” he said, drawing out the last word sarcastically. “But since I’m not a Daywalker, I’m tied to this place until I can get a new body. So if you want the boy, and you want to be able to actually consummate the relationship WITHOUT him dying first, I suggest you find me another subject.”

Edward's getting quite snarky, and there's dissention in the ranks of evil. I love it! And I've come up with the idea for the sequel (well, the premise, anyways), and it involves my world's version of TAPS, so I'm hoping I might be able to maybe observe them on a case or two. Hey, I can ask, right? Hopefully, by the time I do, I'll have at least an agent for Dreams, if not a contract for the series, so that would lend a bit of clout to the request. :)

Today, we're going to see either TMNT or The Last Mimzy, then going to check out the new apartment, and then I'm off to beard5's to get a table for my new office/sewing room. So words will have to wait until tonight, after 8. But I will do words! I will!

The day's events

Well, went to see TMNT with Donna, Ian (her six-year-old son) and argus7hills. It was a fun movie, not quite what I was expecting, but fun. And had some good lines. Patrick Stewart and Sarah Michelle Gellar are some of the actors lending voices to it - SMG was April, and was really good.

Then we went to dinner with our (hopefully!) future landlords and filled out the rental application. I need to get them a few more pieces of information, but that's all. Just a few phone numbers. Then crossing our fingers and continuing to pack. :)

I'm trying a new method of writing today. I've got a timer I've downloaded from the Net, and I'm doing 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off. It seems to be working. Go me! I need to start getting solid counts in - I feel like I'm slacking off.

I'll be putting in a Partylite order this week - if anyone wants anything, let me know.

And hopefully, argus7hills' car will be ready tomorrow. Please. Goddess. Let it be ready. I need to get my little Petite (yes, mizkit, she's decided she has the soul of a Mustang, and it's the only name she answers to now) back. The Kia gets me around, but she's not mine.

Don't forget two more things:

1) We're still accepting proposals for the new Guide to Writing Fantasy: Magic. Email me at vg-ford@yahoo.com up until 3/31/07.

2) I'm still accepting name proposals for the desktop (male) and the new laptop (female). Winning namers get a copy of NYFH, signed!!

Back to writing now.
