Whee, writing

[hope]

I feel bad for having such a good day when there's such shit going on in the word right now, but there we have it. I went out last night but quit while I was ahead, so awoke feeling fresh as a daisy... okay, maybe not. Fresh as a supermarket posy, perhaps, which is still kind of pretty depending on what supermarket you go to.

Anyway, then I lazed around reading and napping for a while, then went to a local artists' market, then I got flirted with by a hot waitress, then went and had a writing day with copracat, in which I wrote 2300+ words of my Epic Romance story. As I'm a touch obsessive and I'm thinking of this *now*, I'm totally going to keep a spreadsheet and generate a cumulative graph of my progress :D

Yes, I am just that cool.

At any rate, the 2300 words I've written are just the first two scenes, so I suspect this might end up being an extraordinarily long story. I might break my record! In which case, it'll be cool to see how my writing habits trend at different stages of the process :D

Anyway, I also wrote a 1300 word outline for the Epic Romance, and made some character sheets, and location sheets, and did I mention I heart Scrivener 2.0?

So, current wordcount: 2,374
Current mood: GWAAAINE I like you even more than I thought I did!


Meanwhile, This Merlin vid is fantastic.

\0/ A successful day. Writing day is a bit intense but you can't fault the results. *is quite smug*

I do think Scrivener would be improved if it kept daily (or time interval otherwise set by you) totals.

Possibly need more snack variety, though. And booze.

I know I tweeted this at you, but I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on Scrivener 2.0! I love that program like it's my own child, but I haven't upgraded yet, for whatever reason. What makes the new version so excellent?

As the total dork who's kept a spreadsheet of her final word count for every fic she's written ever, I thoroughly support this notion :D

Epic romance sounds intriguing!
