Kept at it all day - snuck in some time at work, and then continued at home. I need to get a little ahead because this weekend is committed to something else, so I'll get very little done.
Today the total is 18,715. I'm trying to go back and pick up what what I missed, and still make progress at the end, so this is spread over several chapters. The biggest issue today is that much of the stuff I was writing during work is emotional - my heroine has just lost her husband for God's sake - and occasionally brings tears to your eyes. Well, it does to me and I'm writing it. I remember the same thing happened last year and I was very happy with the results when I was done. Still, it is a little disconcerting when this happens at work. I'm about through with the real (non-fantasy) part of things. Hopefully the rest wont get to me so much
Anyway, I feel good to be ahead of the game, at least a little...

I think you mean, "hopefully the rest will get to me just as much, and more."
ReplyDeleteRock on Papa Tom.
Thanks Casey, for putting it in perspective. Uh, yeah... I guess I wouldn't be worth a damn at this if it didnt get to me, would I...
ReplyDeleteI have thought of you a lot, also a friend who had a somewhat similar experience. I always thought that women were better prepared for dealing with loss, but in the throes of this I'm not so sure.
Thanks for the comment... And thanks for being a writing partner.
