What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: After a week from the story, (*blinks* Just how the hell did that happen?) inclement weather sent me home early so I was able to get started on Chapter Twenty. I still had a struggle to get these words out.
Fave line: He gritted his teeth and forced his exhale through his broad nose.
What Else I Accomplished Today: Made it home safely and the storm didn't damage my neighborhood.
What I'm looking forward to: All my Amazon packages, birthday presents until March! (Not all of what I bought is books, but I got books. No sexy Stephen Colbert though; Amazon doesn't sell that.)



Jewel's concert on March 5th.
What I'm not looking forward to: I have to write to my state legislators, I need to add insulation to the back bedroom, and I keep running out of time to work on the new craft project I want to try.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Finished the fixes to set up Chapter Twenty.
Fave line: "I did not meet all the daevas in the world during my long life."
What Else I Accomplished Today: Cooking, bought a new cell phone so I can finally catch up to the rest of the smart phone world, bought some ebooks, cleaned up computer files for that reorganization, and somehow managed not to play with the resin pins from stickers project I have all the supplies for or work on the back bedroom.
What I'm looking forward to: Sherlock Holmes play on the 19th. All my Amazon packages, birthday presents until March! (Not all of what I bought is books, but I got books. No sexy Stephen Colbert though; Amazon doesn't sell that.)



Jewel's concert on March 5th.
What I'm not looking forward to: I have to write to my state legislators, I need to finish demolishing the back bedroom that I haven't had time to work on, and I keep running out of time to work on the new craft project I want to try.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: I changed my chapter file naming convention by adding the name of the viewpoint character. My beat sheet doesn't have a chapter list and I thought by making each scene a chapter I would keep it straight. LOL! I'm in Chapter Nineteen and opening up everything to figure out where I left the characters. I finished Chapter Nineteen, read over the scene notes for Chapter Twenty and realized I have to set up the event that takes place in a previous chapter.
Fave line: She knew the murderers were the ones responsible. He didn't ask how she felt.
What Else I Accomplished Today: The federal tax refund deposited yesterday, so I paid off credit card, paid off the bills that fell between paychecks, put a portion into my hard-to-reach-on-purpose savings account, and kept my Amazon shopping spree under budget even with shipping charges!



What I'm looking forward to: Sherlock Holmes play on the 19th. All my Amazon packages, birthday presents until March! (Not all of what I bought is books, but I got books. No sexy Stephen Colbert though; Amazon doesn't sell that.)



Family-wise, we put off birthday celebrations the weekend of. Mom has friends in the hospital and I have the online game were trying to finish before March, so it works out for everyone to go to Jewel's concert on March 5th.
What I'm not looking forward to: I have to write to my state legislators, I need to finish demolishing the back bedroom that I haven't had time to work on, and I keep running out of time to work on the new craft project I want to try.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Full writing hour! And I squeezed in most of it at the paying job.
Fave line: "How have you both functioned without me around?"
What Else I Accomplished Today: Cooked a pot roast in the crock pot. So good.
What I'm looking forward to: I've bought my ticket to the Sherlock Holmes play on the 19th. And I'm looking forward to my income tax refund. There will be money in my savings account and a paid-off credit card!
What I'm not looking forward to: I have to plan something to do for my birthday? After the whole car fiasco, a spa day sounds really good and I mean to splurge on a facial or body wrap or something like that.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Well, getting the full writing hour didn't happen because my computer tried to update itself right when I was about to make serious progress on it. *Sigh* I squeezed in what words I could.
Fave line: She's the one crying on my father because she burnt up the breakfast she was trying to cook.
What Else I Accomplished Today: Beef roast is in the crock pot for tomorrow and I forgot about my broccoli leftovers in my lunch bag over Mardi Gras so they're a total loss.
What I'm looking forward to: I've bought my ticket to the Sherlock Holmes play on the 19th. And I'm looking forward to my income tax refund. There will be money in my savings account and a paid-off credit card!

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Started Chapter Nineteen and this scene is flowing so much better. Oh right, I like my good guys, that's probably it.
Fave line: "Oh God damnit! How come this is so hard!"
What Else I Accomplished Today: I finally tried on all the pants in my closet and have shrunk out of most of them. We accomplished a whole lot of gaming, nearly two hours over, so really my chores took a major hit. I'll catch up tomorrow.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Finally finished Chapter Eighteen. And lesson learned, which means I have to layout the Roger family home before I reach that chapter.
Fave line: The riches of the current time did make it easier to live as royalty should, though it seemed strange that material comfort was reached before adoration was assured.
What Else I Accomplished Today: The elevator closed right before I boarded it, so I managed to ram right into the metal doors. So all day long people kept wondering why I gave the elevators dirty looks before getting in.
What I'm looking forward to: Mardi Gras plans: the RPG was rescheduled for Tuesday and I still have to tear out sheetrock.
What I'm not looking forward to: I have to plan something to do for my birthday? After the whole car fiasco, a spa day sounds really good and I mean to splurge on a facial or body wrap or something like that.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: So I'm feeling really defensive about my word count and basically feeling unproductive overall. It's editing, but I'm solidifying how the scene looks in my head and hopefully that's coming out in the words. But yeah, the word will be low when I go delete a bunch of words that aren't needed now.
Fave line: . He closed his eyes, feeling their heartbeats drum in time with his, but there were fewer heartbeats than went out.
What Else I Accomplished Today: Clean kitchen, clean laundry, and paid the most important bills; but no jerkbrain I didn't accomplish anything today.
What I'm looking forward to: Mardi Gras plans: the RPG was rescheduled for Tuesday and I still have to tear out sheetrock.
What I'm not looking forward to: I have to plan something to do for my birthday? After the whole car fiasco, a spa day sounds really good and I mean to splurge on a facial or body wrap or something like that.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Not a whole lot. It was hard to settle down into just writing today with everything else I tried to get done.
Fave line: The drujs who wanted carnal pleasure from her evidently had their fill.
What Else I Accomplished Today: All the shopping errands done, oil changed in Rizzo, and cooked chicken and rice soup.
What I'm looking forward to: I don't have to leave the house tomorrow, so I should come to the writing hour first thing. Follow that with chores and more writing on breaks.
What I'm not looking forward to: I have to plan something to do for my birthday? After the whole car fiasco, a spa day sounds really good and I mean to splurge on a facial or body wrap or something like that.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Wow, I finally got my writing hour in. And I decided how many minions Sagara has as I clean up the description in Chapter Eighteen.
Fave line: They had proved their ability to survive over the centuries.
What Else I Accomplished Today: Seriously, this week has been kicking my ass and I'm not sure why. I have appointments to keep so I really couldn't waffle with the writing.
What I'm looking forward to: Supper out tonight after all my appointments and crawl into bed as soon as I get home.
