Pointless babble about writing
May. 5th, 2012 04:31 amSo today I finally got around to typing up all the receipts from my tenure with the Cult of Dunkin.
(When I was bored and work was slow, I would write essays or rants or stories on abandoned receipts. Yay recycling and creativity!)
It turned out to be, mmm, 7,000+ words, 5k or so of which I typed today.
Then mek and I started writing a collaborative fiction, and I wrote about another thousand words of that and as character background.
Not to mention spending a bunch of time on IM and e-mail. It may very well have been a 10k word day, not that I care to try and measure that (because hella pain in the ass).
Add that to the hour of x-box (Zombie killing, ya!) and yeah, my arms now hurt from wrist to elbow. Both of them (although the left a little worse, which is typical.) This totally blows.
On the plus side, damn it feels good to be writing again. And getting all the receipts typed takes away one of the obligationblocks I've been having keep me from getting anything done, so yay that. Now, if I can just get the stuff from the Little Blue Notebook typed, I could actually stop dragging my heels and finish Dante, which would be amazing.
So mixed feelings. On the one hand, pain is bad, especially strong pain focused on the parts of my body I need most in working order. On the other...
Damn do I feel like a real person again. I should write ten thousand words every day!

MOOP!
