idle morning meditations ~

yesterday i get a notice that the Hyndman book is about due back. Hyndman, i think: do i still have that one? where is it? what did i do with it? have i made copies? i do a quick search everywhere and can't find it. i submit a renewel online because i don't want it to be overdue. then later i do a more thorough search and find it at the bottom of a pile of books by my bed. good grief.

i have 23 books out from the library. several of them (like Fairfax's Georgetown memoir), i've had out for almost a year on renewels (it's okay, no one but me would ever want it). i recently returned about five books that i still want to read but which weren't relevent to what i'm doing, so i surrendered them. i'm assuming the other 23 are around here somewhere. in piles. there are four at the left of this computer. three at the right. i see another three on my other desk and i'm pretty sure there are about three on the kitchen table and about eight in my bedroom. i should return Poppet's memoir since i bought my own copy (they're sitting in my bedroom like reunited twins ~ mine's prettier though ~ hahahahaha).

so, it turns out that 10,897 words isn't really all that much in terms of content, really. at least not the 10,897 words that i squeezed out wednesday.

( assessments of wednesday's writing glut and Mr. Hanty's predilictions )

not sure how to proceed from here. maybe now that i have all the history under control, it would be best to outline the story arcs for the characters and focus on their journeys for a while.

tomorrow's the deadline. let's see what kind of rabbit comes out of the hat.
