Emperor: 550 words, the beginning of Chapter Two.

This beginning of a novel is now up to 2,635 words (and many many thanks to matociquala for helping me be sure they're the right words), about which I would be even more pleased if I didn't need to put it away and get on with the dis.

*Truepenny heaves a long, self-dramatizing, put-upon sigh*

I keep reminding myself that this, while frustrating, is still better than writer's block.

( I know, I know. Dumb quiz. But it cheered me up, and has made me feel good about myself, even in a tiny, ephemeral way--which ain't bad payback from a dumb quiz. )

dissolute

Ran errands this afternoon. Bank, post office (*turnip*), pharmacy.

Now must work on dis. I have promised myself that I will finish the Atheist's Tragedy section today, and I can't do it if I don't write it.

Don't wanna.

But I have opened the file and scrolled down to where I left off. Here in ten minutes or so, I ought to have managed to guilt myself into writing the next sentence.

Well, I met my own goal. Go Team Me.

The section on The Atheist's Tragedy is complete, and the few quotes I have for it and The Second Maiden's Tragedy are properly incorporated. The Atheist's Tragedy section is 5,200 words long. This chapter, which is about half done, is already the length of a novella: 11,300 words. For those of y'all keeping score at home, this means I can cross item #4 off my list, and about a quarter of #11.

Also, I worked in an endnote quoting Idols of Perversity, which was fun.

My brain is squelching gently around the confines of my skull. I think it's time to do something else.
