Halfway

I haven't blogged in a while. I have been furiously working things out of my brain. I am (amazingly) at the half way point of the first draft of my dissertation. (happy daaaaaays) I almost jumped around the house yelling once it ticked over the 10,000 word mark, but I'm not the only one struggling through this fun time so I kept my joy to myself. The weather is glorious again and all I want to do is sit outside and soak up the sun and read but I must stay indoors and write as much as my fingers will allow me to type and then my brain can calm down and allow me to sleep again. I've also started running after a writing session to clear my head from fictional fuzziness. And my notebook is full of ideas. I truly am amazed at how quickly this is coming along. I have never written this much fiction before. Clearly I have found my topic. But it is early days of course. It could all go downhill from here, there are still 3 months to go. I have only been writing for four weeks.

I have also been reading of course,

Rules of Attraction- Bret Easton Ellis
Heroes 1 & 2- (multiple) DC Comics
Confessions of a failed grown-up- Stephanie Calman

And I have plenty left. Back to the writing.
