Started new novella - First Footer

[julesjones]

Back to writing yesterday, although there was more brainstorming and thus only 169 words of actual story. Today the count was up to 1800 and some, so about 1700 words added today, plus finished something vaguely resembling an outline.

I doubt much writing will get done tomorrow. I will be joining the expedition to Winspit Quarry, scene of location shooting for both Dr Who and Blake's 7, for the annual Supersoaker battle between various groups of sf fans. Much running around in caves with water-pistols-on-steroids will be involved. Or more likely lurking in the back recesses of caves shooting at people who haven't yet adapted to the dark, in my case.

Why yes, I am an adult. Why do you ask?

I was going to ask if you were back yet, but this answered my question.

I don't expect to get back until early to mid-September - not having a salaried job at the moment, I'm not constrained by vacation time...

Useful urls in case you don't have them

Caltrain's fares have been seriously reorganised since you were last in the area. The other thing to watch is that there are now Baby Bullet express trains on week days which stop at only a few stations, so make sure you don't get on them if you want one of the intermediate stations.

There are plans afoot to have a more integrated monthly pass system, and several of the schemes already have stuff whereby if you have a monthly or yearly pass on one of them, one or more of the others will let you use it as a local pass for them.

Nice job on the writing. :)

Hope you had fun at the Supersoaker battle!

Enormous fun, but I hurt my hand trying to operate a stiff trigger (set off the RSI again), which is why no word counts since then. But I'll be working again on the new story today. Either that, or bullying Alex into working on her ghost librarian story. :-)

Glad you're having a good time and being so productive!
