I know I’ve been unusually quiet for a November. :) I was knocked entirely out by some unpleasant 24-hour bug on Saturday (and wrote zero words), but made up (exactly) three-quarters of the lost progress over the next three days, so I’m chugging along pretty well.
We’ve had some really beautiful Autumnal days. Aside from being sick, this working from home except for Tuesdays and Thursdays is going pretty well. On Monday and Wednesday I can look forward to going into the city the next day, on Tuesday and Thursday I can look forward to sleeping an hour later and not having to go into the city :) and on Friday I can look forward to lounging about on the weekend.
Some combination of all that interaction with AI Dungeon the other year, and having done so many NaNoWriMos now, seems to have gotten me pretty good at just sitting down and writing lots of words. I remember struggling somewhat for wordcount in past years; nowadays (not to jinx myself or anything) I can just sit down for an hour or two after dinner and bang out the two thousand. And they can be pretty good!
I should write more when it isn’t November. :)
I also borrowed by first eBook from the public library on my phone; that was pretty cool. I did have to go to the library once (which is always nice, even though I very seldom do) to get an updated library card, but then I was able to go to the county’s library system and borrow a copy of this for fourteen days. I’m reading it on Kindle right now (which seems a little weird); I should look into the library-focused apps for this instead.
(I renewed the card in the first place with the idea of streaming from the library via Kanopy rather than being stuck in Netflix etc; I haven’t actually tried that though.)
Props to employer Google, by the way, for making it very easy to find the applicable library system to borrow the book from online when I searched on just author and title. Here’s to the public good!
