We interrupt your regularly scheduled troll report

for a brief excerpt from the glamorous life of a writer.

*Setting: the writer's office, time mid-afternoon*

Muse: I want a nap.
Writer: No Nap. Must finish scene.
Muse: I gave you 2,000 words this morning.
Writer: That was this morning. This is after lunch. Need MORE WORDS.
Muse: Wanna nap.
Writer: No.
Muse: We've been sleeping like crap. We deserve a nap. Just a short one.
Writer: Not until we're done with this scene.
Muse: Have you noticed that this entire chapter is about people who aren't getting enough sleep?
Writer: Err, uh, now that you mention it. Okay. Short nap.

Nightly troll report

4,500 words today. For those keeping score at home it was 2K words this morning, lunch, grocery store, 500 words this afternoon, nap, laundry, dinner, and 2K more words before hitting end of chapter.

Anyone else notice a theme here? For a while I had plateaued at 3,750 words, and now I have my second day in a row at 4,500. Be cool if I could keep raising the count.

For the record, the project is not finished. I'd hoped today would be it, but the goal line keeps retreating as I identify more scenes that need to be added. Hopefully soon.
