It's Raining, It's Pouring...

And, OMG, it's sooooo COOL!!!!!!!!!

I mean, this is not just a LITTLE rain. This is RAIN!!!!!!!

Awesome, I can't believe it, thumping on the roof of the building rain. Flood the streets and the storm drains rain. Dark and stormy sky outside rain.

The most AWESOME rain we've had in a long, LONG time!

And, I'm doubly impressed cause I've lived in California for so long. Miss my back east rain sometimes. Okay, lots of times.

However, I do NOT miss the snow. :)

Rain, loverly rain!

Float Decorators are a Hearty Breed

They're still at it, bravely decorating Tournament of Roses floats next door, in spite of the torrential rain.

Woo-hoo!

I like the Tournament of Roses. I like seeing the beautiful floats ahead of time.

I hope the rain doesn't ruin anything, but I'd love to see more days of rain like this. It's amazing.

Two Nights in a Row!

Okay, this is just plain strange. Two nights in a row, I've ended up with an even word count--the SAME word count--without even trying. Sure, I could write more, but since it's a nice, even number, I think I'll call it quits for the night and try to get some sleep. Heaven knows I can use the sleep.

At some point, I need to try to figure out exactly what it is that bad work days does to my writing...or to me. I've been able to write quite a bit, but I haven't necessarily been happy with it. And, yet, at the same time, I can't pick anything definite out that makes it crap.

Sure, it's rough draft. It needs fixing. Most rough draft work needs fixing. It needs more mood and more detail. I can do that later. So, why don't I feel good about it? Why don't I feel like I accomplished anything today?

My only answer is that I had a really awful day at work. It started out good, but deteriorated by afternoon and then I ended up having to work an hour overtime on top of that. I came home tired and burned out and really frustrated.

So, the only thing I can think of is that I'm taking my rotten day out on my writing, since I can't really take it out on the people who frustrated me. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe I just wrote crap. Guess I'll find out on the rewrite, huh?
