Words: 711
Reason for stopping: It's a half hour past my bedtime.
Mood: Um. Words. Actual words. That sort of follow one after the other. Wow. Who knew?
Notes: I still don't know what the hell I'm doing with this book. I mean, I have chunks of the plot, but am still suspicious that they will not add up to something that achieves its own activation energy. I think it's that this is the first book I've attempted to do with this write - all - over - the - book - and - piece - it - together - afterwards method, rather than going beginning to end. I don't yet trust the process. And it's been such a long time since I've written a book. And I've sort of kind of thought of an ending, but haven't yet decided whether it's too stupid for words. This makes me twitchy. So: glad that I got words out tonight, but even though Lois has told me it's a book, I still don't quite believe it yet.

This made me laugh, because I too am writing books after a long hiatus, and I'm doing the opposite of what I usually do. It's just that what I usually do is to write all over the book, and this time I'm just going, at least so far, from beginning to what happens next.

As for believing that it's a book, well, that's much more comfortable, but it's not necessary to the writing, as you have just demonstrated!
