friday.






Home after a busy morning in town. Got to the library early and had breakfast, then wrote for a couple of hours. It was a rough start, but the flow I found by the end was really good and it seems to be holding out now as well, throughout the afternoon. Sprints in the two writing groups I'm in help a lot.

GF and I have agreed to tag tonight, so I need to write the final couple of poems for today before she gets home between 3-4 pm, after which we'll clean. I'm just drinking tea right now, having done some practical stuff re: upcoming birthday, but in a moment, I'll pick my Word document back up.

My March month is unusually tightly packed with plans and I really need to rein myself in now, because I can already tell it'll probably be too much, but it's just one of those months where... it's inevitable. My mom's birthday in late February, my dad's in start April and mine in between? Lots of stuff to do.

Lots of stuff I'd rather not.

Ah, well.

I've found the first betareader for my Omina project which will, I've done the math, probably end around the 50.000-60.000 words in length. She'll mostly be looking at flow, characterization and give me feedback on reader experience, but I'm excited. It makes it easier for me to imagine I can actually finish this thing. I'm thinking I'll still need another beta as well, to look at language and help me unknot the knots I know I make of English when writing this way. But I don't have much time, the deadline's still April 22nd and who the fuck knows when I'll be done with the actual fic???? Haha, I don't even want to think about it.

I am so lucky to have so many patient people around me. Your support means a lot!
