New Year's Day!
We're still waiting for my sister and Amber to turn up from Swindon. Surely this has to be the worst day to travel in the year. Mostly because I imagine none of the buses or trains are working. Put it this way: She was meant to be arriving sometimes around 1.30. It is now 6.14. Personally I'm not sure that I would have bothered, but that's me.
I asked Mum how she was. I think she kind of had the hump that I didn't go down at midnight, but to be honest when I'm in a mood, it's best I keep away from people. There's no point in dragging everyone down with my epic bad mood, is there?
Luckily I have managed to reach 60k. Considering I wrote 10k in the last two days of Nano that has got to be the slowest 10k ever written. I still have to write a crit for someone of their Nano in response so I'd better get on with it. Maybe tonight if I manage to get this Rosanna and Rob sequence done.
I have to thank![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
teaparty_alice and ecosopher for kind of talking me down from a ledge writing wise with regard to the excerpts from 'Songbirds'. I think I was just getting myself into a funk because of the sheer scale of the edits I was faced with. I have to bear in mind this was only one readers opinion and there were some positive things that she said. I just was exasperated by some of the things she picked up on.
EDIT: the prodigals have arrived so I have to disappear and serve up dinner. So much for family meals. I really wanted to get as much done during the three day I have ( the equivalent of my Christmas break.) It's a bit of a joke work-wise to be honest. I also need to fix my door when I get the chance and sort out a new card. How annoying. I will be raging if I find it after all this, I really will!
I have also realised I need to sort out a proper outline/ treatment for 'Songbirds'. Perhaps if I had one of those I would be having the problems that I currently am having. I think I did OK, bearing in mind that I started late and still laboured to meet the target.
I was nosing round the Stats section of my journal and it's actually very interesting. I suppose I assume that the only person who reads this journal is me, with the occasional visitor, but that is not the case at all.
