TUESDAY'S CHILD

I so loved Nalo's reasoning for the daily word count that I decided to adopt it as my own. Two days in a row now of feeling good because, as she says, just to see the numbers steadily increase is reaffirming and indicative of progress.

So, for the novel:

Today's word count: 911
Cumulative word count: 43,041

And for the day's work:

Yoga done
Follow up on anthology submission w/editor done
Call Fine Arts Work Centre re: housing list for summer workshop done
Mail registration for Writing the Novel Synopsis workshop done
Print and review next batch of poems (9) for second volume; check for consistency with overall theme done

My, what I can do when I stay off the Internet. Onward soldiers to the second job: dinner, lovely children, Spouse and doggie.
