disciple of the less easy path

A universe spins around me. In my bubble, I’m writing. Outside of the bubble, others are lost and cannot find their way back. Still others are already far ahead of me. I will not burst the bubble… I must not read other people’s novels in progress… damnit.

Last night I got together with Alex, who is also attempting this crazy nano-rhino thing. We didn’t do all that much writing, but I saw lots of pictures from when he went to boot camp. And we smelled like smoke when we left the coffee shop. Actually, I did write a bit, and it was immensely helpful to get out of the house to write. (Plus, free wireless access!) I think next time I might go by myself to find out if part of the help was his company, or if it was all location that did it.

Unfortunately, my word count is still short after the weekend, (what happened to being more productive when I don’t have to work?) but not nearly so much as I was on Friday. I’m less than a thousand words behind now, not including today’s 1900.

Actually, I know exactly what happened to my word count. Laura decided we should go x-mas shopping on Saturday because her Marshal Fields discount was going to expire on Sunday. We have most of the shopping done for my dad’s family and got quite a few other things while we were at it. (Including the PS2 Eye Toy I mentioned yesterday, which is super fun, and JakII, which is not as much as it could be–It’s possible I’m not far enough into it yet, who knows?)

In other news, I am finally able to use MT-Blacklist, and after following “The Less Easy Path” to installation, I was overjoyed to have eradicated the 30 spam comments I received just last night–all in one fell swoop. I am very seriously contemplating sending jay allen some money to show how much I appreciate his efforts.
