Fail day

[la_marquise]

Well, today I'm made of fail: three hours has produced a measly 500 words and I just cannot concentrate. It's humid here and I feel like a rhinoceros has been dropped on me. So I'm calling it quits for the day and hoping to do better tomorrow.

Skirt of the day: long grey and black.

Sometimes the story is just not there. Good for you for not pushing it (any further). It'll come back.

500 words is still 500 words, despite humidity and rhinoceroses!

500 words is a short story. Not bad, esp in heat (which does not mix with brainwork.
I've had a failed WEEK - a little reading, no progress at all on course plan in the last 5 days, plus far too much LJ. And that's without the heat.

Hey, you beat me! 500 words is 500 more than I've managed all week. Same reasons. So, sympathies.

As I noted to the yoga class this morning, I wish I could move to the desert where it's dry and I can think.

(Uh. Right. 11 months of the year, that's us! Unfortunately, August is month number 12.)

The weather is Bad and Out To Get Us.

A day with words is never a fail day.

Hope you have a great weekend!

They really should post warnings about those rhinoceri. Or put up nets.

Rhinoceros nets! What a lovely image.

I once spent 3 weeks inserting a couple of sentences into a 3 sentence paragraph for a Rewrite! Believe me, 500 words then would have been bliss!

If you feel bad, think of me: Book due April, so busy with college I have only Vice dictated 19 pages of demented spider handwriting and still have another 4 to do. That's ALL I have yet. It is so hot n sticky now I can't settle to write and I start my last term on 22nd. Plus we start moving house to the house next door on 25th, and are giving up the swimming pool which I adore for a hot tub! Plus my 3 free weeks are being spent Editing California Law text books for one of my professors... Argh!

So right now 500 words in this book would still be fantastic. :)

Ack. Sympathy.
You are spot on with the new Torchwood: much better than I expected (up there with the last UK only series). I still hate Jack, but Gwen is in her original sensible mode and I love Rex. (Still miss Tosh and Owen, though.)
