ellenscult: (writing)
WriteCamp '09 is over. In roughly half an hour, I'll be heading out for parts north, namely Nottingham, for FantasyCon.

For anyone who's interested, my stats are: just shy of 6k words written - 1 story finished, 2 others worked on, & 3 pieces of 30 Minute Drunken Flashfic (posted over on [livejournal.com profile] the_proofreader. This isn't a huge amount for me, but it's a good start. I've also finished proofreading a novel and judged 5 entries into Hub's Bootstrap SF competition.

As for tourist-y things? I have done naaahtheeeng. Ho hum! Right, I must go rescue my pot of tea before it gets utterly stewed, since a thermos of tea is essential for a long drive. How terribly british! (It's raspberry tea.)

This evening, I'll be back with [livejournal.com profile] ravenlas. Thank goodness. And maybe, just maybe, a decent night's sleep.

Today I have:

Written 800 words of a short story and added 600 words to the sequel to Desperate Measures.
Started clearing out a slushpile.
Started clearing out my email inbox.
Taken down the end of the bannister that was still attached to the wall, filled the holes, drilled new holes (with a trip to B&Q for a new drill bit as the old one was around half the length it used to be), and put the bannister back up.
Drilled holes in a tile and put up a shaving mirror in the bathroom.

And amongst all that I have been to work (we had a power cut), cycled home, made and eaten dinner, put the dishwasher on, emptied & refilled the dishwasher and put it back on and had a cup of tea. Now I'm finally sitting down with a bowl of apple crumble and another cup of tea. And then I'm going to bed. Because tomorrow is another G.E.D. day!

I can has phone! Yay! So you can reach me on my original number, again. If you want to, that is.

Must remember to stick to tea at Writing Group... Still, word counts are looking more like this, now:

Devil Patches - 2000 (complete); Tie Me To The Mast - 4300 as of this morning; Correspondence Course (FF fanfic, don't ask, will be posted on my other LJ some time soon) 1600; Cypria's Goose - a couple of hundred words more than whatever it was before.

Still to touch with a bargepole - Squirrels, Thunder Moon, Shed World, though not in that order.

Writing on the train is back, back, back, yeah baby yeah! And as a consequence, I am a lot happier. It's odd - I don't even notice that I'm not as happy, when I'm not writing. It's only when I am writing on a daily basis that my mood changes to bouncy. Even with a wee smidge of a hangover! Maybe I'll remember this, next time I stop writing...
