Progress notes for February 24, 2007:
Soldier of the Road
Total words new or revised : 2528
Probable percentage actually new: almost 100%. I wasn't going to trust the old draft for this.
Reason for stopping: End of scene. Emotional exhaustion
Tea: Hmm. Nothing to drink at all. Hydration is my friend. I'll go fix that now.
Music: Oysterband - Alive and Acoustic.
Mean Things: Still more snowstorm. Possession by spell, a storytelling contest with a life at stake, an attempted suicide, and a tortured ghost. And someone previously a friend now condemning.
tyop du jour: makeshit flean-to
To-read pile: Midori Snyder - The Innamorati, Euripides - the Bacchae (Too modern a translation), Sir Philip Sidney - Astrophil and Stella.
Inevitable Asides:
It occurs to me that Johnny O'Bredislee features a bow and the use of the word shot, too.
Bridge of Birds is one of those books one shoudl never pick up without intent to finish the same day. I forgot *how* good it is.
Helped a friend move today. This (Via a deeply convoluted path) leads me to a reminder:
brannie_bird and
tiene, I still have Christmas/Twelfth Night gifts sitting here for you.
