I read non-genre, Burrell! And I remember I read something else of yours a while back that I liked.
I'm up to ... 873 words so far today, and my goal is 1,500. I might just make it.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Amy, I would love to have you read it! This is a different project entirely, but I've been writing it for about a year now. Egad I'm a slow writer. I have such respect for writers who can just get the job done!
And impressive word count. I am hoping to get a page or so written later this afternoon, when I'm don't wrangling homework, but that's only 500 words or so.

Send it along! Just let me know what kind of feedback you want, and when you need it.

Go Amy! I didn't get a word written yesterday because both kids went into full tantrum mode, one after the other. And today was gonna be writing in the am, but DH went all needy and required personal attention all morning.
Le sigh.

I didn't write a word yesterday, but I wrote 1,248 words today, so I'm calling it good. I need to start earlier tomorrow. And make sure there are fewer children around.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That is a good day! I struggle to get 300 to 500 words on a regular day. I could possibly push through more if I allow myself to self-edit less.

I want to try for 1,500 a day. If I get close, that'll be fine. I'm not working, so I have no excuse. (That's crappy motivation, but it actually works for me.)

The publisher of the peer reviewed journal has finally scheduled the article they accepted in 2013 to be published in 2015. The bad news: they sent me the page proofs Friday at 5:00 PM with a note that all corrections must be submitted by Monday morning. Also the email text of the note got the name of the journal wrong, referring to a medical journal. In fairness, I suspect that the editor was sending out page proofs to multiple authors for multiple journals, and the erroneous journal name immediately precedes the right journal name in alphabetical order on the list of academic journals the particular House publishes.
