Fave line: "You be nice. Somebody's gotta cover the Gotham glower."
What Else I Accomplished Today: I discovered the desktop computer has a new issue. It keeps rebooting itself. It happened Sunday, and Windows told me it was a battery issue. I had a power flicker, so I figured that was the culprit. Tonight it did it with no reason given nor a power flicker.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Okay, today felt like good work day judging effort on my part. I don't trust the numbers because there were days in the past week that I took off of the story in which I did managed to write a sentence or two but never had an extended period of writing. Today I got that.
Fave line: Really, she would have more respect for him if he had just talked to the military instead of seeing him on CNN while she was getting dressed for work.
What Else I Accomplished Today: Dosed whatever I'm coming down with and went to bed on time.
What Else Has Happened: Paying job got snippy about priorities, so I had to not pull the laptop out for about a week. That has died down, but Monday we found out that a coworker's son died over the weekend. He turned even the year I started working at the DOI and would have turned 21 in December this year. Needless to say, we're all still reeling with shock.
What I'm looking forward to: Spring.
What I'm not looking forward to: The funeral on Saturday.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: I know what I haven't been doing is my daily metrics when I can actually remember when I typed what.
Fave line: "Brain Gerhardsson broke into tears when he saw the Sears store. I didn't have the heart to tell him about the truck through the roof here after that."
What Else I Accomplished Today: Discovered an interesting quirk with the solid state drive, the beat sheet file disappeared. I backed up everything to the desktop and copied over the last version, so no information lost. But I wouldn't delete that file so I didn't know why it had disappeared. This morning, it's back on the solid state drive. I'm going to be more careful about ejecting it before turning the laptop because that is the only thing I can think of that might be causing it.
What I'm looking forward to: Spring.
What I'm not looking forward to: Painting the front porch.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: I've been writing steady since February 19th, but forgot to fill out the metrics posts. :p I think I was anxious about putting the first scene into narrative. The visual and most of the dialogue, easy; military jargon and procedures, no clue. It's over now and I'm in Metropolis after movie footage so hopefully less to get bogged down in.

In secondary news, I'm typing the rough draft directly onto the laptop. So far it is working out while traveling back and forth to work.
Fave line: "Holy shit, you're Batman." – Do you have any idea how hard it is to come up with Holy whatever that's not cussing when that's really the first thought in your head? Or yeah, I finally gave one to a character whose first instinct is to cuss.
What Else I Accomplished Today: Bork, nothing really. This was a hibernating weekend.
What I'm looking forward to: Spring.
What I'm not looking forward to: Painting the front porch.
