THE DAY
Managed to get some errands done and get to WMG Publishing offices around 3 p.m. Worked there on workshop stuff and moving stuff until I had to run more errands a little after 6 p.m.
Home to cook dinner, then in here to do workshop assignments.
I was also way behind on my 10,000 steps, so after getting the assignments done, Kris and I went to watch the Voice finals and I paced while doing so to get my 10,000 finished.
Then in here to work on Heinlein’s Rules. Then back to watch a little more television, then finally in here again to write around 2:30 a.m.
Got one session of 1,300 words done, then a short break and another session by 4:15 a.m. of 800 words. So 2,100 words of fiction, about 1,400 words of nonfiction.
