On Saturday I wrote 1,100 words. That was a good day. Then I spent lots of money on fabric, so you know: demerits for that.
On Sunday we had the usual suspects over for dinner to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Yes, that was three weeks ago. So we're disorganized. More demerits. However, the food turned out great and eleven people had a grand time. By this point I'm hoping you'll notice that the word count for this day was, um, nothing like yesterday's. In fact, it was nothing.
However. Today I ignored the mess in the kitchen, the dining room and on the deck. I ignored the fact that my desk is piled high with papers and somewhere in that mess are a few bills I have misplaced. I ignored everything and I went to Starbucks and wrote 1,300 words. And I spent no money on fabric today. I did, however, spend money on bedding plants, though nothing outrageous. So today was all plus points, unless you count the mess in the kitchen. Which I do not. Also, I spent four hours at Starbucks writing and I did not cave in and order a Chantico, which is evil in a cup.
The total for this three day weekend: 2,400 words (which is just over ten manuscript pages, courier new, 12 point, double spaced), a handful of demerits, and a messy kitchen that still refuses to straighten itself out.
Now I'm going to eat leftovers and go watch television until I can ignore the kitchen no longer.

Sara,
Besides being evil.....what is a Chantico ? Hey, I took your advice and have watched the 1st season through of Deadwood. Great. Love the Swerengen character. He is so dangerous and mean but sometimes something like his heart is seen for a few moments then disappears. Intriguing dialog. I am going to watch the bonus features that explain the use of so much profanity. What glorious profanity! Night. Keep writing and don't worry about the kitchen.
