Very bleak

It's totally yuck! outside today. I swear, it's been raining since yesterday afternoon - after the sun popped out for about an hour or two - and poured all last night. :( It's going to make it really hard on my morning walk. I missed out on the puddles yesterday, but have a feeling that won't be the case today.

Anyway.

Yesterday I mentioned that I'm reading this book at the moment. And OMG! I'm more than halfway through now and I'm totally engrossed in it. I'm at that point where if I'm not reading it, I'm thinking about it. Which kinda sucks when I should be thinking about my own story. Lol. It's just such a great story. So many bizarre things are unfolding and I'm starting to form my own opinions on a lot of things.

Now, let's talk about my writing. The reason I'm not too worried about my thoughts not continually dwelling on my WIP (UC) is because I've pretty much got at least four pages with (very messy) scribbles about what's going to happen for at least three more chapters. I stopped in mid-scene after yesterday's session on purpose, so I'll know exactly where to jump in when I get back from my walk. Since my daughter's already up and I won't get a chance to add much of anything but this blog post. :/

Oh, I forgot to mention that I've reached 46,177 words. Today's goal is to reach/pass the 50k mark. That was the goal I set for this week, but if I can reach it today then I'll be able to add a bigger chunk than expected. That's a whole lot of yay! We'll see what happens.

I'm still not feeling very well. My nose is completely blocked and I've used a whole box of tissues in one day, not to mention that my left eye keeps watering and is quite sore as a result. :( Man, the cold season totally sucks! I want summer back, darn it! *stamping foot like a spoilt brat*

Okay, that's enough chatter for today. I'm hoping to have a productive day, and I hope you do too. And there's always that Sammy pic up there to inspire you... Bye for now!
