All Work and No Play.........

Work Zombie. I haven't made any real effort to improve my doodling I broke a vow and did buy The Keys to Drawing and How to Draw What You See. With Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, that's three books I haven't cracked open. In a step backwards I picked up some crayons, not colored pencils, a Crayola eight pack, my doodles look even more like a preschooler's.

I blame work; closing prep for the new temps is send me home later and later. Still getting a grip on improving sketching techniques only for fun. An artistic long game.

"Oh Clarice, you need to get more fun out of life."

Decompressing

Rewriting the train wreck. I feel as if something has been left undone.

Reading 'how to' books again. I have to stop that.

Day 29 - Over and Out

Enjoyed Andre's grizzly death just a little too much.

Finished the word count shy of Steven and Ana's reconciliation. Steven caught up with the day-sailer he loaded with supplies, treated Timmy for shock, and set the sail North.

I might tie up the ambiguous ending and set the stage for the third book of the trilogy.

Maybe I will know how to end this by next year.

Day 28 - Sprint at the End

As advertised, the Thanksgiving Day dinner was an early lunch as the womenfolk were eager to join the fray at the mall from a extra half day of full contact shopping. The menfolk were left home to watch the children an plug themselves into online games.

I've hit the last bit of word count soundly and if I work through the night should finish.

All that's left is to main Andre and leave him to the zombie horde, with luck to aid Steven's escape, and get Steven and his in shock charge into a boat and back to the air staion. That should settle Ana's mind to Steven's humanity.

Day 27 - Down to the Wire

Tired. Be clever tomorrow.

Day 26 - Space Madness

I feel like Stimpy in Space Madness "So very tired".

I've been hyper-focused most of the day at work; the usual relaxation techniques are not working to decompress me before the writing session.

Long decompression, then I'm wired half the night after my sessions.

Wish I could take my day job bits and parts.

Day 25 - Short Game

Crushing Monday. Need a better map of the Savannah riverfront. The womenfolk are braving early Black Friday so Thanksgiving will be brief.
