Four guys in weird costumes on black horses keep charging up and down the dirt road near the Holy Church of Brimstone that borders my property. Some outlandish creature ate the moon the other night. Haven't seen it in two days (could be because of the cloud cover). And there must be a thousand birds sitting on my deck railing staring at me as I write this.

I think that may be my best word count day since I started having a real clue about what I'm doing, and in the top 20 no matter what. For the record, just under 5k is the max to date (short story in '98 or thereabouts). <BR/><BR/>Oh, and exhausting, hell yes. <BR/><BR/>Off to the hot tub for the weekend in a few hours. In the meantime, I've got 3,000 words left to put this thing in the bag and I'm hoping to get at least another 1,000 before we leave, so I'm off to do that now.<BR/><BR/>Rick, GO, GO, GO.

That's got to be exhausting.<BR/><BR/>It's Friday & I'm arsing myself to get out and drive to work in this rain that's been going since noon yesterday. It mixed with sleet for about five minutes, but at this elevation there shouldn't be anything but rain.<BR/><BR/>I left the laptop folded up last night & edited a 200-page manual. I hadn't sat down and gone through it page-by-page like that in a couple of major revs and it showed. The problem is, I have a 500-page behemoth that needs the same treatment.
