Busy day, and writing too!

Well, I went to work, and scanned in some artwork, and called to get a replacement for the water reservoir for my CPAP as the one I'd been using broke just in time for the 4th of July (happily I had a spare, so now I need a new spare) and did banking things for my kid, and after work went grocery shopping and got out some old oil primer from the basement to start priming the back stairs, because last winter's snow and salt wore off nearly all the paint on them and I DO NOT want to have to replace them.

After work, but before leaving the office, since A borrowed the car to go get her meds, I started a new chapter on a novel I'll call Shifter for now. 

The first chapter is 2642 words so far, and not finished; it was started quite a while ago and eventually filed with other story fragments.  In the last couple of weeks, I've been writing worldbuilding snippets (story fragments are easier than spreadsheets, though I've got a couple of those too) and working on a plan for the novel; I don't have that finished, but I didn't feel like plotting today.  And the file I did on the computer at home refused to be read by the computer at work.  So I started a chapter instead.

Then, after the painting and dinner, I thought about the LJ community based on the premise that 750 words a day for 90 days is novel length.  Surely, having done a couple hundred today, I figured I could get to at least 750 for the day.  Since there weren't too many things planned for this chapter, I finished the first draft at 1011 words. (-:

I know better than to think I can do this every day, but maybe I can strive for more days than not. 

Now I better run off to bed; if I'm too tired, I won't get any writing done tomorrow!
