Woo!

2210 words last night! I’m so excited. It felt so nice to wake up this morning, knowing I had accomplished something last night. So far I can fit about 1000 words in an hour.

I wrote in the bedroom, with a lit candle, plenty of light, and music after I straightened up a bit, made the bed, shoved the laundry into distinct piles, and replaced a bulb in one of the lamps.

It’s so nice, I don’t have time to think about the enormity of it all, I just have to sit down and write about 2000 words a night. The mini tape recorder is handy, just a few remembered thoughts let me hook into an idea and flesh it out, for several paragraphs.

I have three files so far, one for names, one for story ideas, and one for the novel.
Thrilling, indeed.
