Starting line: “When you fell into the pond, you were dying,” she said flatly.

Ending line: “Let the nurses take this damn catheter out of me, and I’ll tell you everything,” I promised. “And then we can get to work.”

Darling: Then again, Crosley Farms had shown me that most of what I thought I knew about ghosts was crap anyways.

I only have about 20k to go on this book. Seriously. *falls over in shock*

And stuff is happening! Lots of stuff!

However, my fingers are getting tangled on the keys, so it's time for bed. But I seriously, seriously believe the end is near.

Very near. I won't hit 100k with this draft, I don't think, but that's okay. My beta readers will help me figure out what needs to be done, right, beta readers? And yes, I'll be looking for critting help!

Bed now.
Because it's still tonight until I go to bed, dammit! :p

Word Goal for the day: 750 - made 872

Starting line: Something wasn’t right.

Ending line: And she vanished.

Darling: Icy fingers suddenly wrapped around my throat, and Ellen dragged me back up, anger blazing in her eyes. “Don’t tell me what to do in my house, Daywalker” she hissed, and phantom spittle hit my face, burning like freezing acid rain.

Deaths: Nope.

Good Things: Well, now we know where Lyris is, supposedly.

Bad Things: Where Lyris is. And Sapph got choked.

I also finished Ajax's character for Wings. All I need to do is finish Donovan's, and then I should be able to finish the outline for the first episode. This comic is hard! I didn't realize how hard scriptwriting is. :p

Well, off to bed now. No Sleeping Beauty research - might do that tomorrow night, if work is dead.
I went home an hour early last night, because I felt awful. Puking in the work bathroom is NOT my idea of a good night's work. So home I went, feeling a little guilty (but hey, it was only an hour before close anyways) and spent two hours in the bathtub. Today I felt better. YAY!

Got 650 words last night, despite feeling crappy. More tonight, hopefully.

And, for all of you, Kitten pictures!!!

And I didn't even play! Watched the second half of the Red Sox-White Sox game today. NINETEEN innings! Yes, NINETEEN. It was spectacular, even if we did lose. 6-5. *sigh* Oh well, by the end, I'm not sure anyone cared anymore, LOL.

Now on to the All-Star break. The good news is that the Yankees lost today too, so we're still in 1st place and didn't lose any ground against them going into the break.

Got 1700+ words so far today. Working on more.

Oh, and I finished [livejournal.com profile] argus7hills' tent banner today! So that will be up on our tent at GNEW. Also got most of the trim sewed on to his new tabard. Gotta start working on more clothing - we need SOOO much for Pennsic. Luckily, I can't write at work, but I can sew. :D

Not a lot, but more words.

Finally did some work on Sapph tonight. It's about time.

And a darling!

“That’s one theory.” I understood their concern. Provoking the house was not really something I wanted to repeat – there’s no way to control the situation once it’s started, for one thing. Basically, what I was proposing was walking into the Ghostlands and instead of just observing, poking my nose in where it didn’t really belong. Stirring up things, so to speak, and seeing what falls out.

Only 7700 words for the month. Bleah. I hate training.

But tomorrow's a new month!!!

No real darlings. Sapph's not been that witty lately. Must discuss this with her.

I'm off for the weekend to Panteria. I'll see you all Monday!

And the end of a chapter! Finally!

I'll start pulling out darlings, because I'm loving some of these sentences. But at least I have a word meter again!

About 650 words tonight. Not bad, but not great. At least I'm writing every night again.

Now off to bed. Goddess, I can't WAIT to be back on nights!!!!
