Trying to write, and a deviation

I managed to wrap a chapter on Article V this morning. I really should be trying to do more. I hit 40K words here, though.

While I really want to get this in the vicinity of 80K words, I also learned long ago that some stories need to be as long as they need to be. I’ll keep working on it, but if it comes out somewhat less, then so be it.

I paused on fiction, because one of my Story Empire partners asked a small favor. This involves moving my next post up in the time stream to help her cover. Since it was already written and scheduled, this was the simple part.

It does squeeze my timeline, so I decided to hack out the post after that, just in case I’m still covering my normal date as well. The good news is I’m working on the November post, so I have plenty of time.

More good news is that since I am working on a series over there, I’m not scrambling for ideas. My life isn’t often like that, and scrambling is a pretty common occurrence.

Not much else has changed around here. There are still pears, and I keep enjoying those. The weather has decided to toy with Autumn and I am thrilled for it.

Old What’s Her Face is in the other room watching Twilight, so I might just stay in my cave and keep working on something else. There is a space chimp that is also demanding my attention.

I hope all of you are doing something you love. Saturdays are kind of my jam and I’m making the best of mine.
