Went down to Campbell this morning for morning tea with l_prieto at what turned out to be a very nice tearoom -- although their tea isn't made strong enough for my taste, it is at least made properly with boiling water, something not guaranteed with USian purveyors of tea. I demonstrated that I have had no meatspace company for a week by my monopolisation of the conversation now that I actually had someone to talk to. Much talking about writing, slightly inhibited by the fact that there were young children in the room. Trying to describe my current WIP in more detail than I do in the blog but _without_ going past PG-13 was a trifle difficult. l_prieto admired my Psion 5MX and is now threatening to get one herself, in spite of having an Alphasmart.

Did do some writing when I got home -- 1000 words today, bringing it to 75,000 total so far. My guess is that final length will be 90-100 kwords.

The Psion is lighter than the Alphasmart and will fit into a purse. Also, it's cuter ;)

how much longer do you think it will take you to get to 90-100? sounds like you guys had an awful lot of fun!

I've been running at 3000 words a day over the last couple of weeks, but I probably can't sustain that. So first draft will be finished by the end of the month, and possibly sooner.

And yes, it was fun. :-)
