Another day… didn’t get started

January 29th 2002 at 6:14 am

Another day… didn’t get started early or anything today, as I spent most of it working on taxes. Got most of it done, just a couple small things I need to add, and then I can e-file and have that off my mind.Then I got to writing. I’ve got some stuff fairly well charted, so it was basically smooth sailing as I’ve got my chart in front of me. Some backfilling had to be done to establish some scenes I’ve got coming up, but I managed to put in 2042 words before 3am rolled around and I am taking a break.Bummer of a note, I lost a real important file when I backed up and reinstalled the software on the iMac. Real dumb of me. I shouldn’t have been fiddling around with the computer anyway, I imagine it was part writing avoidance and chore avoidance (didn’t want to do taxes, uh-uh). And when am I going to have time to turn it into a webserver anytime soon?Right.Anyway. I’m thinking of sketching out a short story and then going to bed. Ta for now.
