Today

Stevie Nicks
Not much to report today. I've been keeping up with comments over at Charlie's blog. That whole experience is actually wonderful in spite of the stress. It's a good thing. Oh! And I'm at 40,000 words on the new project. Woohoo! Things are really going well with this manuscript, and I'm hopeful I'll finish it in record time. (That would be terrific.) In other news, Amanda D. and Fade exposed me to this concept called a "calorie counter." Heh. I can't believe that I've lived this long without one. (I know. I'm realllly behind.) But I've never really had to watch my weight before. It's helpful in that I'm learning what my bad habits are and what foods I should avoid indulging in too much. And it makes me feel I can finally make (and maintain) solid progress. I honestly don't mind keeping up with something like this as long as it works. And hey, it's not like I want to loose a lot of weight. Just ten or so pounds. No big deal.

So, that's about it for today. I hope your Thursday was a good one. :)

I'm actually at a point right now where I'm not trying to lose any weight, and I still use the counter. It's actually good for reminding me to eat enough, and also a quick reality check when I forget that certain foods are...rather more energy-packed than their volume might otherwise indicate. (Mmm, dessert.)

yep. exactly. i think it's good for me to be aware--not on a compulsive level, just be more careful than i once was. (which was not at all.)

I am ever so slightly jealous of your productivity this month. Especially this month, when cedar allergies kill my creative energies something fierce.

i honestly feel these things come and go. and that it's best to go with the flow for the most part. there are going to be times when it's a struggle and that's okay--just as it's okay when writing isn't a struggle. nothing should be read into it. this is a creative process. it's going to be inconsistant.

Oh, totally, they do. I've had plenty of hot streaks, just January is never when. And that's a bit frustrating right now.
