Not as stuck as I’ve been lately, and for a much better reason. I’ve written about 2500 words so far today. I still have–oh, four hours or more before my usual bedtime?
No school because of Veteran’s Day. Yay Veterans! And not because I get the day off, either. There are a lot of vets in my family, and I’m very proud of that fact. My dad was in the Navy, my younger brother too. Older brother in the Army, two of my uncles served there as well, my grandfather was in the Army Air Corps before it was the Air Force, sister-in-law was in the Air Force, and one oddball (wink) uncle was/is a Marine. (they say once a Marine, always a Marine, though he’s been out of uniform a long time.)Â
Anyway. Lots of writers much better than I am have tried and failed to express how very much we should and do appreciate those who serve. So I’ll take the weenie way and go around it, and go on talking about how I’m stuck.
My brain has just about quit. But we’re coming into my usual writing time now, and it’s habit. I just can’t go do something else. I tried, believe me. I put in a load of laundry, I dusted, I thought about dinner and wandered back to my computer while I debated…
And started typing again. Eventually I dragged myself over here, since I’m just not getting far on the NaNovel. 2500 (give or take, can’t do math right now either) is a perfectly wonderful wordcount and I really should stop as I’m brain-dead.
But I can’t.
Oh well. Onward! though my eyes hurt and my fingers are numb. Charge!!
