Progress report
Dec. 25th, 2006 09:12 pm1700 words, about three scenes. Not bad, if not as much as I was hoping for. I wasn't quite allowing for the extent to which I can tie myself up in knots feeling sorry for the characters even when I know where the plot has to go. Also, the downstairs neighbours were playing their music really loud.
Also managed to feed myself sufficiently, I think: waffles and marmalade for breakfast; omelet with pasta sauce and toast for lunch, plus pistachios and a couple of figs; pizza, veggies and ice cream for dinner.
I went for a walk down toward the river round about sunset, when the mountains were glowing pink. The wildflowers seem to be done, no doubt killed off by the frosts.
Tired now. I wish I could have Monday off every time I go to Phoenix, but it wouldn't leave enough vacation for going home in the summer.
Oh, and I watched the last Voyage episode on the currently-out DVD set, Monster from Outer Space,
