thanateThe 50k slump hit hard, and it appears that while I am entirely capable of writing 50k in twenty days, doing 75k in thirty is not about to happen. Excepting a scene or two that I'm still contemplating, I've finished a rough first draft of the book I was working on, but I ought properly to go right into the sequel before I forget where all I was going. Once I figure out the *rest* of where I was going, it'll be possible to sort out which bits of part B were actually useful. On the other hand, we've been watching action movies, and they make me feel a lot better about my somewhat vague and mystical magic systems, and loose ends that don't tie up at all.
Other things:
*Curtains part 2 for the bedroom are close to half done (because of course I didn't have enough fabric of the same color to do full panels for both windows the same, so I'm doing 4 panels per window...)
*I've already collected far too many potential christmas present projects for various people, mostly![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
grauwulf, and am currently making repeated mistakes in a simple basket weave cable knit pattern on something for my father. Probably the fault of the movies, but still irritating.
*the weather is beautiful, but we still haven't mown up all the leaves yet because the lawn mower is evil and popped its carburetor. This seems to be a trend withgrauwulf's devices, so it may be fortunate that the cars don't have those anymore. Tomorrow, of course, it's supposed to start raining again.
*I have legitimate excuses to go to the fabric store tomorrow.
*Earl Gray tea has suddenly become the flavor of the moment. I think I may have underappreciated it previously.
*grr. There's been a lot of that recently, which is sad. Thanksgiving was fine though, and it was nice to see my parents again; reminds me I should clean the place up so we can invite people over for dinner.
*armored cats & mice (or at least the armor...)
