I feel that somehow sports metaphors are now appropriate seeing that we are now looking at the reason of the rhyme being diminished by half.
Sorry, can't just say, "We are at the half way point." as I normally would. I've been writing today. I thought I was way off the pace this week. After being ill for at least two days this week and dropping behind Monday and Tuesday, and having a work thing on Wednesday, I thought I was done fore.
But, over the last two days, I managed to pull off a massive workload. I did almost 4k of words from Wednesday night to Friday afternoon. But, some how, I thought I had written more. But, alas, there were only the ten chapters I had completed. Must've been my imagination.
Until this evening. I needed to see how I had described Ms. Key, basically the baddie in my story. Ms. Key has mutated a little from a master thief, to a fanatic doing the bidding of... something out at Pluto. But, she'd changed, and I wanted to have her appear at a Ball in the 19th Century equivalent of a backless dress. (Which might actually BE a Little Black Dress, but I digress...)
So, I go back into the story where I think I put the piece of the story. Amazingly, no Key. I checked the rest of the story going forward, no Ms. Key. Then, back to the beginning of the story, still nothing. Where had I left my Key? (Sorry...)
Well, I'm doing a mobile writing thing with the main document on my MacPro laptop (Eve), and most of the data being input by my Nexus 7 (Priss) with a Motorola wireless keyboard (Motoslave). Well, in the transfer from Priss to Eve, I forgot to add in this Key section.
Now with the problem solved, my writing is increased by another 2K of words! Where I was depressed and ill at the early part of the week, I am now rejuvenated and enthusiastic.
Go ahead, coach, put me in for the second half!
