Word count: 45058 | Since last entry: 492 | This month: 492
Darn, I was sure I'd written just over 500 words, not just under. I'm giving myself a gold star anyway.
The month is not off to a good start, given that I didn't write at all for the first three days of it and I need to finish this story by Saturday if I want to get it critiqued at the next session. Monday I was still too pooped from the trip to write, Tuesday we went to Nalo Hopkinson's reading at Powell's, followed by a pleasant dinner with her at Pho Van, and yesterday I stayed late at work to finish up a usability test report, then had to go to bed early for a 7am meeting this morning (bleah). Tonight I determined to write something, despite the other chores that needed to be done (did get some of those done, though).
The Jupiter story is charging toward its climax. I have destroyed two planets already (and not just your pitsy or obscure planets either, no sir!), with one more to go; not bad for a short story. It's longer than I'd hoped, might even hit 5000 words before it's done, but as I said before I think I know where I can cut.
Busy, busy, busy. Must rest now.
