Shakespeare is not my usual homeboy for blog titles, but I've been writing for hours and hours and that's the first thing I could come up with, so you'll have to deal with it.
Today was a v. v. productive first day in Iowa - I wanted to get my manuscript to my editor today (it was supposed to be there Monday, but I wasn't ready Monday, and then Tues-Thurs were mostly eaten up by prepping for travel, getting stranded, and recovering). It's not totally complete - I'm missing a bunch of scenes in the endgame, I think. But I got to the point where I had something to send her that I thought would be useful to get feedback on - I always tend to want feedback before writing the end so that I make sure the beginning/middle are strong enough to carry the book. So this is actually par for the course with me.
sssanyway. I got up around ten this morning, and I went upstairs and ate a snack and made some iced coffee before commencing the slog. I ended up writing from 11ish to 4:30ish, with a break for some lunch, and I was happy with what I'd gotten done, but I still had a lot to do before the end. However, I took a break for supper (early), and then took a quick shower and watched the Cyclones game - sadly, they lost (without ever being ahead), which was an unfortunate end to their season. But it was good to watch the game, so I'm glad I took the break.
Then I made myself some tea, returned to my room, procrastinated for a bit, and then wrote from 11pm to 3am before sending the manuscript off to the editor. And now my eyes are falling out of my head, and I need to sleep if I have any hope of being coherent tomorrow when I ignore the laptop in favor of doing family stuff. Goodnight!
