Book #4 is moving along briskly here at Casa del Goteo, and I should surpass 10% completion tonight. Progress is a lovely thing.

I broke in the midst of a scene last night, something I rarely do, but I was nearing the 1000 word mark, and I'm trying to keep to a rate of 750-1000 words a night.

That's right: it's not that I have a problem pounding out the wordage, it's that I have a problem stopping myself from dropping the word bizomb.

My life is at its best when I am balancing work + writing + sleep/exercise. The moment one of those starts to overcome the others, things get uncomfortable. Writing and Work are two muses that are constantly cat-fighting for attention, like a pair of man-crazy twits on Springer. At the moment, they're under control, and that makes me a happy Steph.

My brain is slushy with thoughts of where to go next with the story. I'm looking forward to tonight's 1000 words.
