Tuesdaily with zzz... NotNoWriMo progress and factory update.

[ellenmillion]

I finished City of Lights, pt 3, horrah! It's been a serious slog on this one, and I suspect I will have a solid round of edits to do on it, but a draft is done at LAST! I just need to plug in two random names and send this off for character approvals. *celebrates*

Slept poorly last night; I think the factory is going through an awkward stage, and certainly Guppy's kicking is gaining more reach: I can feel pressure on one side and strong tap-taps on the opposite as she stretches out in there. Jake did finally get to feel our stubborn girl - she gave him a good kick the other day. He was duly impressed, and has decided I'm not just making the whole thing up.

I made it to the gym this morning, which felt excellent and has my energy back up (and apparently Guppy's, too... it's tickly inside!).

Shower now, then some more writing. Though I'm not doing NaNoWriMo, I do have a laundry list of stories I'm going to shoot for finishing. The wordcount isn't as important to me as the storycount. I would like to make an official goal of 10 stories - finished. (They can be in-progress pieces, so I'm not REALLY expecting a completely new story every 3 days...) So far, 1/10 done! My next to tackle is the next Rails story, then the next Out of Steam sequel. I can do it! Ra! Ra!

Did you get the thing I sent you yet?

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

I have received no thing from you yet! But I haven't been able to get to the PO since Thursday, so it's possible it's there waiting for me! (And I won't get it until THIS Thursday, so I hope it's not livestock or perishable...)

[pers1stence.livejournal.com]

Well, you know how much I love to mail you cows and chickens and things with atomic half-lives lasting mere moments!! :) It is totally not perishable (it's for guppy but it's not her "real" present, that's still in the planning stages)

*giggles!*

I'm so excited now!

Mostly I asked because the two packages I shipped to the Middle East at the same time as the little thing for you (albeit via Priority rather than first class) have been received.

Not only no worries, but that's within deadline! The deadline is always the first of the month ahead (today!), and if it's a few days late, not a big deal. :)

Ack, it is my EMG-zine article curse! It found another victim! (Though I am still thinking about ships. >_< )
