nepentheI've got my cattle call all set for Wednesday.
This weekend I finished the character sheets and wrote out 1/4-ish of my novel outline--this would be unacceptable since I need it done and out of the way, except I wrote 5 pages, wrapping up a small but important scene. Writing the story takes precedence over organization. I also got Adult Stuff done, like cleaning and laundry. Tended my few plants (they're practically dead of heat stroke).
I don't think I'll get much done tonight and that's okay. I need to prepare for my interview, pick up groceries and make food for the rest of the week. But if I could add in a line or two to my outline, that would be bonus points to my productivity cake.
It's heartening that after two months of not reading the beginning, I read it and thought, "Not bad. Needs editing." I RESISTED THE URGE TO EDIT TOO MUCH. Moved on, worked on a new scene. I've got the first 1/4th written; the Introduction through the First Proposal (it comes a little early in this story). I will begin on the Rising Action now.
A big thanks to my friend who wrote with me on Friday, bringing Rice Krispy treats covered in chocolate. I was not feeling well and that cheered me up a lot.
Edit:
Supervisor hands me a work themed t-shirt: "I guessed on your size."
Me: "You guessed I was a large?"
Coworker: "You can wear it as a dress!"

(It's definitely a momentum thing; getting rolling is hard, but I can keep up if I get into the swing)
