*thud*

A friend pointed me to this excellent Wired article on deep sea salvages, and as I thought it about it, a chunk of novel fell into my head.

Naturally it did so after I’d gone to bed.

New words: Unknown. Several mini-notebook pages of notes and dialogue snippets. I don’t have a meter for this project yet, anyway.
Reason for stopping: sleep.
Exercise: None last night, but 3 miles today. Good Lord, I am out of shape. My shins hurt.
Time wasters: Scrabulous

I’ve been screwing around on random projects for a few weeks now. Next week, I’ll begin revisions on Sparky… including writing the missing turning point right in the middle. (O joy. O rapture.)

In other news: We’re almost done with Wonderfalls. Now that I’ve seen Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies, I like Wonderfalls quite a bit. It just didn’t do much for me while it was on the air, but I find that all the good episodes came after it was canceled. Of course. It was on Fox, after all.
