alexandraerinThe Daily Report
So, I finished a newsletter this past weekend but I haven't sent it yet. It feels a little empty. I thought I'd wait and see what happens today before I send it.
It's day 1 of my MU writing cycle. I started today ahead of the game on the next chapter of Tales of MU in terms of words, but I haven't found the heart of the next chapter yet. This is an important distinction... when I came up with the cycle, I defined day 2 as finding the right approach to start writing the chapter, but what I'm finding pretty frequently is that I can get a couple thousand words in and still not know what the chapter is about.
Sometimes I know what happens in it, but that's different. I mean, I've had a good deal of the description of the shopping that happened in chapter 87 for more than a week now, but if you read the story that got posted, that's not strictly what it's about.
Chapter 87 marks 32 days of on-time MU chapters. Yay!
The State of the Me
Slept okay. Had a slight tickle in my throat before going to bed last night. Woke up a bit sniffy.
Plans For Today
Even though I'm ahead on the numbers, I'm still going to do the minimum 500 words of Tales of MU, but in terms of practical efforts I'm mainly going to devote a few hours today to free writing, which I haven't done in a while.
