The witching hour

Yep, up too late again. I spent a chunk of the day on SFWA stuff (trying to make sure I have everything ready for the Board meeting at Nebula Conference next week), and then there was taking our daughter to her Brownie sleepover, and my skin itching like mad … with one thing and another, I didn’t get to the writing, really, until after dinner. And then I was only going to do 1k. And then a friend got online and got some more while talking to her. And another friend. And then I was so close to my daily goal anyway, I kept going even though everyone else was being sensible and going to sleep.

That’s a wrap!

I finished the first draft of my novella today! I know at least one thing I have to go back and add details about, but it’s going to wait. Tomorrow, or Monday. Not tonight.

And I can get back to focusing on the next novel, Siren Circle! (That’s what you want to hear, anyway, right? More Pepper?)

Looking at those words written this month and this year, part of me wants to push one of those up to the next round number. Not happening, though. I’m going to sleep.
