Metrics. Such as they are.

Here's recent progress on my comic/sci-fi young adult project where a girl becomes a ninja and fights aliens with much ass-kicking and many LOLs but not a whole lot of kissing (or any kissing, to be frank) plus BONUS Bruce Lee's ghost, a vintage Thunderbird, zenlightenment on the fly, and fat stacks of Cool Ranch Doritos.
Project: Ninja Planet
Deadline: Sooner or Later
New words written: 1374 (boo.)
Present total word count: 33,556 words





Things accomplished in fiction: Bad things. Aliens grow bored with keeping their distance, and come in for a closer look. This doesn't go well for anyone - particularly not anyone in or around the Bonneville salt flats.

Things accomplished in real life: Went to the post office; went to Walgreens; scanned some contracts for reference's sake and sent them off to my agent; conducted other assorted misc. bits of Writer Business; tided apartment and would've cleaned the bathroom but decided against it for now; also skipped laundry but that needs to happen this weekend; argh this is turning into a to-do list, not a did-list.

Other: Logged onto Google+ to find it redesigned beyond recognition. Felt like an idiot because I couldn't figure out how to post anymore. Did eventually figure it out. Still felt like an idiot. But you know, I never do anything but cross-post links to blog updates over there ... so I might just scrap the account. I don't know. We'll see.

Bride of Other: I do not always react very well to change.
