Novel Update (writing day 4)

Today I passed through three area codes to write. (323, 818 & 661)

I went up to Palmdale to the Starbucks there. You say, Palmdale? Why Palmdale. Ah, this Starbucks has a drive-thru.

Really, I went up there for a write-out with the surprisingly vibrant wrimo group.

They had some great tables (with powerstrips mounted in the center) and I hunkered down for a long winter’s write. What I lacked in hourly rate, I made up for with keeping my ass in the chair until I got some wordcount.

time..running tally..words…words/minute
1:15…...16,967…...112…....7.47
1:30…...17,287…...320…...21.33
1:45…...17,521…...234…...15.60
2:00…...18,133…...612…...40.80
2:45…...18,691…...558…...37.20
3:00…...19,081…...390…...26.00
3:15…...19,397…...316…...21.07
3:30…...19,818…...421…...28.07
3:45…...20,158…...340…...22.67
4:00…...20,783…...625…...41.67
4:15…...21,086…...303…...20.20

My total for the day? 4,231. Not the 5K I wanted, but after yesterday’s poor showing by my uncooperative body, I should be grateful that I got up and about today.

I actually enjoyed the drive. It gave me time to think. I listened to music, sang along. And the views were amazing as I passed by Vasquez Rocks.

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