I'm on summer schedule, so I get off work at 1 pm Fridays; had lunch with some colleagues and was home and writing by 3. By roughly midnight I had another 2300 words done which completes chapter 5. This is very pleasing. (My personal records are 14,500 words in 24 hours, and - a different time - 45,000 words in 9 days; the latter was last time I changed jobs, I had two weeks between one ending and the next beginning, and I decided to finish the novel I was working on then. It was bad for my wrists, bad for my sleep, bad for my back, and not much fun to do that, but it was satisfying to know I could if I need to.)

I just realized that I got these temps mixed up. Duh. I told you my brain was fried in the heat yesterday. I should have said 104 degrees Farenheit. And actually by late afternoon yesterday we hit 105 degrees of oppressive, sultry, steamy heat. Ugh.

Well...
a. I get by most of the time on 5 hours sleep, which doesn't mean I'm up getting anything actually done. :-\
b. Social time is important! That should come first. :D
c. RL is not good for a writer's soul. ;) We'd much rather write than do chores, school or any of those necessary evils.
d. I am trying to blame the heat for my lack of enthusiasm and creativity - and I'm sticking to it! ;D It's better than admitting I'm lazy...
But I tried writing a little last night, actually editing a story, and realized I didn't like the darn thing! I love the idea, but it wasn't coming together the way I wanted it to, so it's back to the beginning...an almost complete re-work, because I refuse to give up on it. (I have several stories in this predicament on my computer that I believe I can salvage. "Never say never" is my motto!)
