Kicking ass and taking names
Dec. 17th, 2019 04:32 pm1. At noon today, I stopped reading and researching and going through my files and compiling this and that AND I STARTED WRITING. In about two hours, I wrote 1500 words. If I can sustain this writing pace, I'll have a solid first draft by the end of the week!! I am doing a lot of quilting (thanks to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
umadoshi for that term)--using a paragraph here, a section there that I'd already written for my dissertation, but I'm having to write a fair amount of new material as well. The article has to be 5,000-10,000 words, and the anthology editor specified that the closer to 10,000 the better. If I can write at least 2000 words tomorrow, I will be over the moon.
2. My Yuletide treat is entirely finished (even the title!) except for the last couple sentences, and my treat recipient already has a gift, so if I can finish the last little bit, I can upload the damn thing. Why are endings so hard? But still yay for almost being done.
3. I got Christmas cards frommisbegotten, spikedluv, talitha78, and leesa_perrie!
4. I was so sad to hear of Rene Auberjonois passing. The interplay between Odo and Quark is one of my favorite things about DS9. I love that while their relationship is always antagonistic, they often manage to find moments of connection and genuine feeling between them. Auberjonois will be greatly missed.
5. Emma is 17 today! I am a crone!
