Feb. 22nd, 2004 01:21 amNot much writing the last three days--for assorted reasons, I didn't write anything last night or the night before. Part of that was stress, part of it was the story being difficult (though it does occur to me that this might well also have been at least in part attributable to stress), and part was just too many other things going on for me to really have the time to sit down and work on more words.
solarbird gave me a lot of hugs this afternoon and helped me let out some of that stress, and once that happened I felt prepared to face going over to another session of poker at
kathrynt and
llachglin's house. However, while the others played I opted to sit out and just write. I wanted the companionship aspect of the evening, but I also wanted to write. Fortunately, my computer is portable, so this was doable. Kathryn and Erik even had a wireless network, so I had Internet, though I had to try to keep myself focused on the writing.
I wound up getting 717 words out, which was good... that got me the daily quota and helped make up a bit for not writing at all yesterday. That helped the stress level a lot--I really need to write at least a little every day, I think. Especially now that we're not doing the jamming group anymore.
Of course, the two Mike's (one hard lime, one hard cranberry lemonade) and the Gran-Marnier-laced hot chocolate Kathryn gave me also likely contributed to easing off the stress, too.
Very groggy now. Bedtime.
Written tonight: 717
