06/29/00 -- The Missing Day

I did what?

I dunno where today went.  I really don't.  I think my brain has turned to jello.  I got more than enough sleep, but I was still wiped out.

We had critiques.  And ate lunch.  I'm pretty sure of that.  I think I wrote before dinner.

And we ate dinner. Dinner I remember.  It was at the Coral Gables again.  Then over to Archives for Tananrive Due's reading.  She read the story she has in the August issue of Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.  Very interesting story.  Kinda scary at the end, really.  Left me wondering a lot.  And reminded me why I get so frustrated with journal/letter stories.  I wanted to know what happened next!  :)

We'd planned, sorta, tentatively to play Mafia again this evening.  It didn't happen.  Too many folks were too tired, or wanted to write, or needed to read/critique.  I wanted to do the latter two.  Wound up only doing the last.  Ended up spending a lot of time talking to Mark and Jennifer between story critiques.

Was a rough night.

I wanted to write more.  I really did.  I had truly wanted to finish this Goblin Market retelling to turn in for Friday morning (so I could get it critiqued on Monday).  But my head was really fucked up.  Really fucked up.  I couldn't write.

Wished Jonah was here.  Just wanted to curl up with him and cry.

So instead of writing, I went to sleep.

 

Okay, so other folks are talking about their productivity here.  I decided I may as well, too. This list (and my productivity) is subject to change without notice. :)
Title	Word Count	Finished	Critiqued?
"Where the Blood Roses Grow" Week one, first story.  Wahoo.  And I was worried that something wouldn't come.	5000	6/13	6/15
"Uprooting the Tree" Will probably change the title at some point.	3400	6/16	6/19
"Mockingbird Girl" I think I'm happiest with this story, so far.	2800	6/19	6/26
"Poor as Paupers, Rich as Royalty" My challenge story from Sean's week.  I hated writing it.  It gave me a toothache.	2000	6/22
That fucking first person narrative (not yet complete) - May never be completed.  Don't I feel like an idiot...	(400)
"Switched to Overload"  (That other fucking first person narrative) Actually, I like this one better than the one above it ...  Even if it did wind up being two first person narratives in one story.  o.O	4900	6/27
The Tananrive Due challenge story.  Write a story in the style of an author whose work you admire.  Aieee!	(2492)
