And I’m still working.<\/p>\n
THE DAY<\/p>\n
Not much to report, although there was about an hour or so this morning when I thought, blah, don’t work; kick back, do something else. \u00a0Then I thought,\u00a0no, finish this one section and then you can knock off. \u00a0<\/em>I was just being avoidant.<\/p>\n So I worked, pretty much all day. \u00a0Got up to stretch once in a while. \u00a0At one point, I thought,\u00a0crap,\u00a0<\/em>I got to stop but then remembered that my personal trainer’s out of town. \u00a0So I considered the errands I wanted to run, decided they could wait a day, and just steamed ahead.<\/p>\n In the end, I got where I wanted and needed to be. \u00a0My butt is killing me.<\/p>\n WRITING OUT LOUD Day 1: 1000 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Day 23-26: 9450 Blog Post: 320 \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" And I’m still working.

\nWhat I’m Watching:\u00a0The Last Ship. \u00a0<\/em>Beginning to look up. \u00a0I’ll stick with it, but I miss Rachel Scott. \u00a0The chemistry between Chandler and this new chick just isn’t there (and I miss Tex).

\nWhat I’m Reading:
\nStill inching through\u00a0Firestarter.\u00a0<\/em>Don’t ask me why. \u00a0It’s fitfully entertaining, but there will come a day when King won’t be writing any more and this will be it.

\nWhat I’m Listening to:
\nNot a thing. \u00a0Well, the news: the reports out of Turkey right now aren’t great. \u00a0The whole Nice thing . . . I know people are calling it an “attack,” but let’s get real: unless something else comes to light, this was one angry guy lashing out with the best weapon he had available. \u00a0It’s awful; it’s no better than any American shooter (and he took out a hell of a lot of people very quickly). \u00a0But it’s not a terrorist attack. \u00a0Not everything is terror. \u00a0Sometimes people are just twisted and angry.<\/p>\n
