Slogging forward
Apr. 24th, 2009 03:56 pmI came down with a cold last weekend, so between that and some major trouble sleeping and lots of beyond-the-ordinary-routine things to attend to this week, I didn't do so well with the productivity. I wasn't a total slug either, though, so that's gotta count for something.
Reading: Didn't get a lot of reading done. I'm partway through chapter 11 in Bitterwood, and I started listening to the audio book of The Road. Nothing like cheery post-apocalyptic fiction to make the traffic seem not so bad.
Exercise: This is where I achieved productivity fail. Only managed one day this week.
Music: I made it to all of my rehearsals and whatnot, but as for practicing, I fell off the wagon yesterday, and it's not looking like I'll get to it today either.
Writing: Still slogging through chapter 4 of My Big Fat Epic Fantasy Novel. Slow going, but I am now one sentence away from finishing my rewrite of the first scene, which puts me about 1,600 words into the chapter. I reworked the scene so that it involved fewer characters and rewrote it from a different POV than it had originally been in, which meant cannibalizing bits from the original version, writing some new material, and incorporating dialogue from a scene that originally took place later in the chapter.
