Is it weird that I
have a hidden crush for
Christine Cushing? Ok, so this is the other document I have open right now. You know, the one I can use to capture stray thoughts as I write the novel thing. But every time I pop over here and write something down, something strange and stream of consciousness, I will announce the word count. That way we will be able to see if I am spending too much time wasting my stream. 2292
Words. Writing has been slow but not difficult. Meaning, when I put my fingers to the keys, they go…I just have to get my fingers to the keys. Know what I mean? Something disconcerting…did you know that Word doesn’t always automatically determine where it would like page breaks. I didn’t know that it didn’t just always do this. Let’s just say that I was writing and writing and writing…waiting to be done page one and it never came. It was totally disconcerting…it was like I wasn’t getting anywhere. And then I noticed, one of the 400 times an hour I check the word count that it lists how many pages the document is there as well and I was at 3 pages. Who knew. 2292
Words Ha, good thing I only started watching that a half hour in, or else it would have been a full hour and a half without any writing done, instead it was only an hour. But it’s not like you get to see strange brew on all that often. 2292 Words 2650 Words 2815 Words 3198 Words It’s moderately freakish when you think about it. I don’t really like the idea of him chewing on my monkey. So every time he puts it in his bowl, I put it back on the elephant (I know, I know, a smarter, more mature cat owner would just put the elephant somewhere where the cat couldn’t get at it). And when I see him approaching the monkey, I tell him no. When I see him with the monkey, I tell him now. When he chooses to ignore the no, I get up, or a spritz him. As I said, we are having a little war. Side note, this entry has now reached 600 words. If had typed this many words into my novel, I would be 400 words over the point I have to be at for today. 3444 Words 4155 Words…and that’s probably all for tonight.
