Took last night off to go to a free concert, during which I was introduced to a very good band – The Alternate Routes. Highly recommend them. And then we went to Strange Brew with them afterwards! It was very fun. There are pictures. Tonight, I got another 433 words done on the plot summary, …

(metrics) How long DOES arsenic last in the body?
Posted on July 21, 2011
Otherwise known as yes, Val’s being mean to her characters again. Bad enough the poor bastard was killed, he was being poisoned too??? And this is the cozy mystery. 😀 850 words tonight, as well as Morning Pages. 3 days in a row. I’m in shock. As a reward, I’m going to go play WoW …
(metrics) Screw you, migraine

And the horse you rode in on. You won’t stop me from writing! More words on the summary. The widow has been informed of the murder. Much shock and tears. Starting Count: 1741 Ending Count: 2189 Net Gain: + 448
(metrics) Late night again, but the words are building

Starting Count: 1393 Ending Count: 1741 Net Gain: + 348 Did my morning pages as well, and wrote for about 15 minutes on the summary. My goal is to do morning pages and at least 250 words a day, every day. More later. Sleep now.
(update) The state of the Val, writing, and other stuff
Posted on July 15, 2011
So, I haven’t really been posting much. Part of it is because I managed to lock myself out of my WordPress account for a week or so, and I couldn’t grab enough time to reset it. (That has been sorted out, and I even managed to update to the latest edition without issue! I’m convinced …
(advent) December 13 – Did he forget?
Posted on December 13, 2010
December 13 “Hey Molly, Schrodinger, wait up!” Molly turned as Drew came running up the sidewalk towards them. She’d just locked up the store; as she watched him catch up to them, she wondered if he’d left something inside from earlier in the day. He and Tom had surprised her by bringing in lunch from …
(metrics) A little behind on the reporting, but not on the writing.
Posted on December 2, 2010
I’ve been writing every day, just not posting metrics, which is bad. So this is a little catch-up post, just to show the state of the wordcount prior to writing today, and to keep me honest. Then, it’s off to write more Molly and Schrodinger! I ended NaNo not winning, but with a word count …
(metrics) Day 28, more NaNo counts
Posted on November 28, 2010
I finished Chapter 25 of Last Rites today, and made myself cry. The entire end of this book is making me very emotional. *sniff* Gotta get through it, though. Between homework and work tomorrow, i didn’t have time to work on the sekrit project, but I did work on Rites, and I put Word on …
(metrics) a day behind…
Posted on November 27, 2010
I wrote last night, but it was on the big computer, so I had to wait until I got downstairs to post them. Trust me, otherwise it screws my numbers up. Taking a few days off from Last Rites to work on something new. Something fun. Something you might see kind of soon. Starting Count: …
(metrics) Day 23 – just a day later.
Posted on November 24, 2010
Yep, wrote longhand last night – couldn’t face my keyboard. I think I’m starting to hit that end of book-itis that Nobilis Reed was talking about on Twitter this morning. It could also be that I’m tired and stressed – ah well, it’s a first world problem. 😛 I did write before I dropped off …
