I'm making progress on this new section I needed to write to get Our Heroine's brother off on the next leg of his story. Another paragraph or two should do it.
Need to start dinner though....

I'm about ready to wrap up this piece I'm writing but Skywise is home and the creative juices are starting to flag so it's time for me to head out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

*Yawn* Morning.
We've been having mild thunderstorms since early this morning.  They were just loud enough to disturb my sleep. I will now seek out tea and see if I can resuscitate my self. *staggers off to kitchen.*

I've thought of something that I'm going to need to clarify and the place to do it is Book 2. Fortunately, Book 2 is in "proofing and revision" at the moment so it won't be too hard to do. Just have to find the right place...

Having trouble finding the right place for that scene. I may have to just write it out on a separate word document and paste it in later......

Skywise is home.
Chapter 4 is almost done.
I have written myself into a coma.
I am one tired little writerperson and I'm outta here!

Afternoon!
We went to Floral Gulch this morning and got back about half an hour ago.  I'm checking the radar now 'cause it's TOO hot for May and that usually means that thunderstorms are in our future. I'm also making tea which I REALLY need. Plans for today: write myself into a coma.
First up: I have one of the terms I need. Now to add it to the glossary and define it. THEN, I need to come up with the other term I need and define that.

Still haven't come up with the "term" I need although I have a good idea of the definition but I got a lot of writing done around weather and various other distractions. Working on dinner now while writing a VERY naughty encounter between Our Hero and His Lady in a little out of the way alcove....
Hmm... yeah.  "That."
Thank the Gods Mercury has finally gone direct...

The naughty encounter isn't done yet but I have hopes that Chapter 4 will be finished tomorrow which is good 'cause Skywise is taking two weeks of vacation starting Saturday and I don't know how much writing time I'm going to have.
Anyway, he's home, some rain is moving in (another cold front coming through) and I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon!
We've been back for a while. I've been putting things away and getting more or less organized for the afternoon. Skywise starts a two week vacation tomorrow so YAY! we'll have a "normal" schedule for two weeks!

Chapter 4 is just about done. I'm going to finish it up and then read it over again tomorrow or next week some time to make sure everything that should be in there is.  Later tonight, AFTER Smallville, I'll probably work on that scene that needs to go into Book 2 and get that out of the way. At least I won't have to renumber and reprint the WHOLE manuscript, just about 55 pages or thereabouts.

Chapter 4 is finished and the "leftovers" in that chapter were bumped to Chapter 5. What was Chapter 5 will end up being Chapter 6. Chapter 4 came in at around 40 pages in Times New Roman. So far, Book 3 is on track to be about as long as Book One.  Smiley That would make the combined page count for all three books come in at just under 1,200 pages.
Good thing I decided to write more than one book!
I've also had my walk so I'm going to do a few dishes and settle in to watch the season finale of Smallville!

That scream you heard at around 9:00 pm edt was me.

SMALLVILLE IS A CLIFFHANGER!!!
OLLIE HAS BEEN ATTACKED!! FATE UNKNOWN!!
CLARK IS FALLING OFF A VERY TALL BUILDING WITH A BLUE KRYPTONITE KNIFE STUCK IN HIM!!
At least Zod and the Kandorians are gone. And the Kandorians know that Zod murdered Faeora so they should be dealing with him harshly.
And I'm pretty sure that they've found a way to bring Lex Luthor back with or without the actor who played him.

I MAY NOT SURVIVE UNTIL SEPTEMBER!!!

AT THE LEAST, I WILL LIKELY LOSE MY MIND!!

I think I'm gonna see who has a deal on Season 8 Smallville dvds this weekend....

I've just about written a decent explanation about why Our Hero has to get it on with Aphrodite. Not that he's complaining, mind you, but he'd rather be bedding the heroine. Anyway, I've just about have it all explained. Once it's done, I'll stick it in Book 2, renumber the pages and THAT will be out of the way. Of course, I'll have to reprint those pages but there's no help for it.
Right now, though, my bed calls. Loudly and insistently and I'm gonna answer.

Afternoon!
Saturday errands are done and we're in for the day. I'm going to get back on that Book 2 explanation and get it inserted. I still need ONE WORD to describe what the Heroine has become and I'm having trouble finding one that has the proper ring to it. Other than that, all I need is to smooth out the rough edges, put it in and renumber the pages.

I STILL haven't found the right word but the scene is inserted, necessary tweaks done and the pages are renumbered. I ended up having to renumber about 180 some pages since the scene took more lines than I'd originally thought.  I've just decided to reprint the entire manuscript when I'm done proofing, it's just simpler that way.
Right now dinner is in the oven and I'm working on Chapter 5 which features some heavy vampire neck action pretty much right off the bat... (no pun intended!)

Getting ready to head out. We're planning on seeing IronMan 2 in the morning and it might be nice to be awake for it!  I made some progress on chapter 5 but I didn't push it. I was kinda worn out after I got chapter 4 all straightened out!

Dinner's done.  I may be closing in on that word I need. I'm still throwing syllables around. I didn't do any writing today. Maybe I'll get a little work in tomorrow.  We're on vacation so I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't turn out pages and pages over the next two weeks.

Morning.
We have rain. Lots of it. Enough to mess up our plans for today AND enough to interfere with the satellite signal so I'm getting knocked offline from time to time. Someone has seriously POed the Racing Gods.  I hope that they are appeased by next weekend. We're supposed to go to the track for qualifications on Sunday. 
Right now though, need tea and a bite to eat.

Incoming migraine. So much for writing today.
I've taken something and I'm gonna go snuggle down with the War Queen.
Later.

I'm back.  I still have a bit of a headache but if we're going to eat tonight, I need to get busy so I'm up. I've had a sandwich -- haven't eaten hardly anything today -- and I'm gonna start dinner in a couple of hours. Since Skywise is home we can eat a lot earlier than normal.
Better get to it...

Well THAT didn't work!
The dishwasher quit. Skywise got it working but it quit again halfway through the cycle. I ended up washing everything by hand. Dinner was two hours late. *sigh* Better luck tomorrow.
