Kat Dancing

We've gotten into a routine now. At seven am I get up, check my mail, post, and am writing by 7:30. I keep it up until 8:30 or so; then I get dressed and get ready to go for work.

At some point in all of this Dan gets up (he was actually up a minute or two before me this morning. Go Dan!) I usually say something like "Morning, hon!" to which he responds something like, "Urg." He sits and stares glaze-eyed at his computer until I bully him into putting some clothes on and going to work.

We work.

By the time we get off work, at 2 or 3 pm if we're lucky, I'm getting tired. I'll have spent most of the day in a sensory deprivation chamber, aka the cheese cooler, and I know I still have to milk, and all I want is to go home and sleep. Dan, on the other hand, is quite cheerful, and will usually try to convince me to run some stupid unnecessary errand like groceries or do some stupid unnecessary thing like pay my credit card bill.

We have a lot of arguments in the afternoon.

At 4:30 I go back to work and milk until 7:30 or so. Then I stagger my way home, have a shower, and sit and stare glaze-eyed at the computer until Dan bullies me into going to bed. He will occasionally try and communicate something to me, like, "Dinner's ready."

"Urg," I reply.

Darned romance novels. They never warn you about the real relationship stressors.

Type-In Revisions: 136 (of 385)
Word Count, Original and Current: 118,040 / 118,560
Notes: I have a schedule now. If I can get 8 pages of type-in done per day, I can be done by World Fantasy and still have time to write up my synopsis and query letter. If I get 10 pages done per day, I can do all of that and have the next book started.

So far, so good.
