A Little Extra Time - A Few Extra Words

imageA flexible schedule is key, I guess. I got about 3K under my belt by just letting a few loads of laundry slide. I just figured I should try if I can. So I did. And it’s done. I’m over the half-way hump. I’m not at the 30,000 mark, which is where I’d like to be, but I’ll take what I can get at the moment.

So, since it was late in the evening, I went local, to the Silverlake Coffee Company. Unfortunately it was the busiest I’d ever seen it, so I had to settle for a seat outside. I’m a whiner and I’m gonna tell you it was just a smidge too cold for the manual dexterity needed to operate a keyboard.

I had a lemon bar and a large cup of gen mai cha. They really have the best tea there. I don’t know if it’s because it’s loose tea or because they’re very generous with it.

The first twenty minutes were a bust as I moved tables twice, but you get the idea here:

time…...tally…..words….words/minute
4:30…..24,340…..386…..25.73
4:45…..24,803…..463…..30.87
5:00…..25,380…..577…..38.47
5:15…..25,837…..457…..30.47
5:30…..26,488…..651…..43.40
5:45…..26,896…..408…..27.20
6:00…..27,099…..203…..13.53

So, the goal is to go out on Wednesday night and perhaps get another five thousand words under my belt. Maybe they’ll even be good words.

During November it's all about me writing a novel. Sometimes it's about whalewatching. You know, and then there's other stuff.
