Book in June

  • June 20 -- Given that discretion is the better part of, um, something, I need to put the story on blocks for a wee bit so that I can outline what I have and figure out where I'm going. I need a map -- and a chance to get some writing done for folks who are paying my bills. Call it a tactical pause so that I can keep the metaphoric lights on.
  • June 19 -18241.
  • June 18 -- 17731. When I hit 20K, I will stop and make an outline, just so that I can figure out where I've been and where this is going. Then I may see if there is some SF-loving soul out there who wants to be a Beta reader...
  • June 15 -16661. I'm starting to think that I might need to go back through and make some sort of chart-like object to keep track of where I am and what's going on. Of course, smart writers would have done this before they started.
  • June 14 -- 15833.
  • June 13 -- 14147. It is entirely possible that I am the worst writer in the universe. Still, we press on.
  • June 12 -- 13001.
  • June 11 -- 11909. I can only begin to tell you how much I didn't want to write today. Still, we press on.
  • June 8 -- 10830
  • June 7 -- 9837
  • June 6 -- 8478.
  • June 5 -- 7465
  • June 4 -- 6303
  • Because I love the idea of NaNoWriMo but can't commit to much of anything in November, I am declaring this JuNoWriMo and finally finishing up the space opera that has been lingering on my hard drive. It shall linger no more. To keep myself honest, however, an ongoing word count -- June 1: 5292

Mooch, who would like you to pay no attention to what he's doing in the yard. Nothing to see. Move along. These aren't the cats you're looking for.

The Goober, last night.

A couple of links, then I really need to work:

Two things I miss about southern Appalachia: moonshine and awesome nicknames.

Amy singer went to my favorite yarn shop ever. One of these days, I'm going to stay at the Hotel San Jose. Just 'cos. Oh -- and Austin will always be one of my favorite places on the planet, contrary to what you might have read. But you have to admit that the summers are long and miserable.

The knitting is lovely--and such a gorgeous color!

That Nantucket jacket is looking absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. Can't wait to see if in its final form--to this point I've only seen one other in the wild.

You know, I see Winter Pot Sampler....and I don't think beautiful embroidery. I think of, oh, how shall we phrase this, recreational greenery? That, too, is beautiful, btw.

Thanks for the compliments on the knitting. It is surprisingly easy pattern to memorize and works up fairly quickly. I haven't seen one in the wild, yet. Where did you see yours, Melanie?

And, um, yeah, I'm with you on the "Winter Pot Sampler." You'd be surprised what you come up with if you google it...

It is gorgeous. I keep thinking about that pattern.....
