I Coulda Made It A 10K Day

My personal 5K Day yesterday was a success. I ended up writing 7,431 words in my new story, finishing the first draft! :D I'm going to set it aside for a week or two, then I'll go back and read it, make notes, and begin the first edit. It's 26K words altogether. I think that qualifies as a novelette...?

Today, I'll be working on some character journal entries and I may start a new story...maybe just write a few scenes I have in mind.

I was hoping to go to Sweet Bay last night, but my writing kept me too long and there was no way to get there on time...not even nearly on time. Maybe next week. Maybe I can come up with some more loglines in the meantime. :)

Jeff and I watched the series premier of Caprica. It was okay, but nothing I'd want to write home about. I know some people are really into the new Battlestar Galactica shows. I'm not one of them. I like the older, more fun series.

I am, however, looking forward to the new A-Team movie coming out in June. ;)

I still have to vacuum the studio today. I'll do that when Chelsey takes Eric to work, or if they go out earlier in the day.

Otherwise, my day is free to spend it on writing. :)

In other news, we have a winter storm watch in effect until Friday at noon:

As usual, I'll believe it when I see it and not a minute before. ;)

And on that note, I'd better wrap this up. I never checked my friends pages yesterday, so I've got to do that today.

Have a good one!
