Mmmmmm.....Words

[queenoftheskies]

Quite frankly, I'm surprised I have words today. I have felt like crap all day and was pretty grumpy about all my attempts to add to my novel until tonight.

Not getting sleep is a cumulative bad thing, but this stomach ache I've had since last night doesn't help either.

So, I'm not going to write any more tonight. I've already added a couple of times after I said that, but I'm going to post my word count for the day and close the dang file before I can start up again. :)

Hopefully, tomorrow, I'll feel better and be more productive. Though, honestly, I guess I wouldn't complain about the count of words today.

Ancient Secrets 4,250 words today

Over 4K words and you want to be more productive. You need to be slapped.

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

Productive so I get this novel finished before I can succumb to FEAR and chicken out!!!

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

If you chicken out I shall beat you about the head and shoulders with a loaf of French bread.

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

Ouch! French bread is hard. If you hit me too hard, I couldn't ever write again. Do you realize that?

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

It's not hard when it's FRESH. It's really quite cuddly then.

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

Do I ever comment to you without threatening violence?

[kimberlychapman.livejournal.com]

She seems to like it. Perhaps you should threaten her with non-violence. Like, "If you don't get some sleep and feel better, I'm going to sit here in my homespun robes and stare at you until you feel guilty!" :)

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

I feel guilty enough without someone MAKING me feel guilty. :)

[kimberlychapman.livejournal.com]

Then it's already working. ;)

Don't you love circular logic?

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

Please, we don't want to add to the angst.

[kimberlychapman.livejournal.com]

In fact, since I keep being amused by your violent comments, I've friended you. Hope that's okay. :) You don't have to friend back if you don't want...I'm not offended by stuff like that.

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

She lives close to you. Just over the hill in the desert.

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

In HELL, you mean. Hot, dusty, tumbleweedy, redneck hell.

[kimberlychapman.livejournal.com]

I absolutely believe you. Heck, down here in the valley it's hot, dusty, tumbleweedy, rednecks-with-overpriced-SUVs hell.

I've only been to Pahrump once (other than driving through), for an SCA thing ages ago. There was a nice park, I remember that. :)

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

You can friend me if you can stand the boredom. There's lots of posts about weightloss, bitching about Crazy!Boss, and periodic updates for an online vampire game I play.

Yeah, that about covers my life. ::is pathetic::

[kimberlychapman.livejournal.com]

That pretty much sounds like a typical LiveJournal. What, do you think the rest of us are posting about our tea time with the Queen of England? ;)

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, you do. The other day you commented that I was going to cut your hair when I visit. :)

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

Ahh, that's true. I use you in addition to abusing you.

Speaking of, if you don't take me to the Fantastic Four movie I might EXPLODE.

[navicat.livejournal.com]

I hope you feel better, but that's still a great word count ;)

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I think I might be on the road to improvement today. :)

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Cat. I might be improving some today.

I get hit with this at least once a year. It's a side effect from one of the meds I take. Actually, it's a totally REVERSE of one of the side effects, so I think my body rebels or something. Ick.

One year, it led to other things, including the inability to eat, and I was laid low for a couple of months.

This time, it's just annoying and it probably hit me cause I wasn't getting enough sleep, stress, etc., etc.

I think I see some improvement today, though. Which is nice. :)

And, you're right. Words are MARVELOUS!!! But, I'm getting nervous now that I'm close to the end of my rough draft. Eeek!

Wow. Great word count. Hope you feel better soon. Drink lots of 7 Up. It's good for a sore tummy and restores Potassium if you're, uh, overeliminating from either side.

I had no clue that 7 Up restored potassium. Thanks!
