Well, it’s day seven of seven at work, day 15 of November, day 15 of NaNoWriMo – the halfway point in fact.<\/p>\n

Going into the day I was behind in word count. The past couple days, with all the world events, my brain has not been in the realm of my book. I could barely get home and I was asleep. That’s not like me. On the other hand, I don’t much like working seven days in a row. Yesterday I felt like the people and noise and everything would send me to my car. I toughed it out but had to use some tricks to get through.<\/p>\n

Anyway today, I wrote a little at lunch time. And by little, I mean, a little. After work I headed off to the normal Sunday night write-in at Denny’s and buckled down as the writing sprints started. Twenty minutes of writing, with ten to twenty minutes of socialized\/talk in between. That’s a nice mix. If you’re on a roll, no one complains if you keep writing.<\/p>\n

Talked with my booth mate and told her enough about the story so far that I could sort of see how it would have to go in the next bit. I put my noise-cancelling headphones in and my head down and my fingers on the keyboard and wrote. And I can see a big arc of the plot, a little ahead. Not what it is exactly but what it has to be about to get where we’re all going. <\/p>\n

And then this happened.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So I took a break in this current sprint to write 391 words for the blog.<\/p>\n

And in case anyone’s read this far:<\/p>\n

Matt kept digging, finding a small ceramic dog with one ear, a wooden duck and a bowl full of feathers. <\/p>\n

“Need some feathers?”<\/p>\n

“Not today thanks.”<\/p>\n

He found a pair of socks, a bunch of pencils held together with two strips of fabric, a purple fountain pen and a small box containing a metal replica of the King Edward’s Chair, all in a child’s red wagon. Another bin contained a set of chess pieces, several umbrellas of various sizes and colors, one wellie and a jar of spoons.<\/p>\n

“I’m still looking,” said Matt, slapping the dust off his hands after setting down an old flat iron. “Find anything good?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s all I’m saying about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
