But the penicillin was all like "ha HA! Screw YOU, immune system, Imma be a cowboy and make as much of a mess as I can!" And then my immune system lay down like a little bitch as the penicillin kicked its arse. Thus I spent most of the weekend scratching and sneezing and looking like the victim of some horrid plague, and generally feeling sorry for myself.
Yes. That is how it happened.
So: This week's progress. As far as adding new words to my tally goes, I failed spectacularly. Yes, I did potter around with chapter 2, hoping to get it to almost-complete status, and I did manage to write a few more important scenes for it. But there are just as many important (and less important) scenes still to be written. I didn't spend as much time writing this week as I would have liked. I ended up going back and playing with my prologue and chapter 1 again (even though I said I wouldn't), so they're in a bit better shape than they were before. Still, I would have preferred to get more new material written (unfortunately after having something workshopped, I can tend to get a bit OCD about the piece, and I find it hard to leave it alone for a little while). I also got distracted by books (I found my old man's collection of Sherlock Holmes novels while raiding his shelf for something else, which I promptly forgot about anyway) so a lot of my spare time was spent reading instead of writing.
As for this week, I can more or less predict with 100% certainty that I'll get next to nothing done before the next check-in. With work, catch-ups with friends (some of whom I haven't seen for a while) and being forced into acting as the family's errand-bitch, I'm not going to have a lot of time to myself until Thursday. I still want to have chapter 2 finished by the weekend, but I will have to see how I go.
Oooh I'm absolutely certain that dentists are associated with the Devil... they must be. Dentists = Evil.
