(seasons) Metrics for 4/1/08

Okay, back to metrics. I don't remember where I started this chapter, so we'll claim it all today.

Starting count: 31,335
Ending count: 34,815
Added words: +3480

Starting line:
“So, how goes the battle?”

Ending line:
Justin shook his head slightly, dismissing the thought as soon as it registered.

Darling:
As usual, his room looked like a library and a laundromat had gotten into a fistfight and killed each other there. Messily. Papers and books were stacked in untidy piles on every available surface and most of the floor, where they fought for dominance over the laundry that crept out of the open drawers and out of the closet. He stepped carefully over the uneven floor, hoping, as always, to not die on his way to his desk.

Mean things: wow, jealousy is an ugly thing, isn't it? And I dunno about you, but I hate having my illusions shattered. :)

Got a good padding to my wordcount today. Let's see how it goes.

(personal) Back to work

In training for the next three days - yay! Only 2 hours of phone calls - yay!

I got my schedule for RavenCon, and per daveybeauchamp, we have a room for the Livers for Boobies event (thank you, CapClave, for offering to host us!). I'll post the schedule this weekend.

I also have a short to-do list for the Con, which I am posting here so I don't forget:

- get business cards
- put together tea bags for freebie table
- design toppers for tea bags for freebie table
- put together workshop swag for workshop
-finish putting together workshop

I think that's it, but who knows. I'm sure I'll think of more.

(writing) Bah.

Okay, so I suck apparently at designing business cards. I need to figure out something that I want to use as a focal point to the design, and then go from there.

I DON'T want to use my cover for Horseman. For two reasons:

1. It might be changing.
2. It's not the only book I've ever written, and I'd rather not print new cards every time a book comes out. That's what bookmarks are for.

So, now I'm off to look at clip art and see what I can find. Those of you who've read my stuff, any suggestions?

starting line:
No, that’s not possible. I would have noticed. Soulbounding kicks up a very definite energy signature, and there’s nothing like that on either of them.

ending line:
Rick gave him a dirty look and stomped into the Inn.

darling:
Yes, but they're all spoilery. >.<

Not as impressive as yesterday, but not bad for an hour, and I'm at a good stopping point. Tomorrow, Chapter 13!
