Started with shave and teeth, did that. Calesthenics next, push ups, sits ups and chin ups. That all felt good so moved onto the weights and I got through the full routine.
Now I was really up for it so a quick breakfast then onto the bike and 22 miles later I was feeling top of the world.
To be fair all of that took a far bit out of me so I was a bit slow to getting to the writing and I didn't sit down until 10.30. With a break for lunch I managed to work all the way through to 6.30 pm and I really felt I could keep going.
I did get confused at one point. I said yesterday that I had done 3,500 words and I could only see 2,400. It took me a while to figure out that I had saved the book to my back up flash drive and not to the computer. Fortunately it was only a single section of writing and not any editing so it was easy to drop back in.
After all was said and done I finished another complete section. At 5,000 words it was not a long one but it's another mile stone and I am really pleased with what I've written. That is nine sections down and three to go, though I am starting to think the last one could go into book two. We'll see where the story goes.
Total now at 99,000 words.
Off to see X-man days of Future Past. I feel I've earned it.
Oh I've just had another idea for a story and I think this one has legs. That's one on the go, two definites and a maybe. I know it is only day two but I really feel this could work.
