I totally meant to post yesterday, really I did. But I still needed to finish that spreadsheet thingy, so I jumped on it as soon as the coffee kicked in and everything else got shoved to the side - blogging, writing, editing, walking... (Not bitching here. It needed to be done, so I did it. Just explaining.)
Well, the thingy is done. Yay! Which means I should be able to get back on track today. I even got some editing done last night. Woohoo.
You may have noticed I took down the counter thing for SeeMeWriMo. It was depressing me because I haven't done as well this month as I did last month. And the thought of inputting all those zeroes... Well, it's gone. I'll keep you updated through my Sunday Update posts.
Right now, this round of edits for Cinder Ugly - wherein I read the book on my Kindle and make notes - is at 37%. The mystery story is sitting at 7862 words. I hope to get both of those numbers up this week.
But first, today is shopping day. That'll eat up a couple hours and by the time I get home and get the stuff put away, all I'll want to do is nap.
And I still have to shake off the need to open the spreadsheets and pour over them. Sometimes when I focus on something had enough and long enough, I can't shake the feeling I need to work on it even when it's done. (Sort of like writing/editing/publishing my books.)
I know, excuses, excuses. It's all part of keeping my expectations low so I don't disappoint myself. No pressure here in the SeMeWriMo. (Even if you aren't seeing me write much.)
Anyway, that's where I'm at.
How are you doing so far this month?

Sunday Update - Week 35
Well, hell, it's Sunday again, isn't it? I totally meant to work on this post yesterday and then didn't, but then again, I was deep in spreadsheet stuff and most of yesterday is a blur. Most of the week is a blur right now, too, so let's see if I can rebuild what happened. (Thank goodness for the log I keep.)
On the writing front, I finished AuGoWriMo inauspiciously, and started SeeMeWriMo with a bit of a whimper. But I'm still in the game. I wrote 24761 words in August but none of that in the last days. I've written 2735 words so far this month. And I've done 28% of this round of edits on CU. I took yesterday off because spreadsheet stuff.
Not a lot of reading got done last week. I can't decide what I want to read right now. I tried that du Maurier, but meh. I'll find something. I did download what promises to be a fun cozy mystery, but right now, my Kindle is occupied with edits.
As for exercise and activity, I did four days out of seven. All walking. I made my best time ever going around the loop - 1 mile of hilly terrain in 22 minutes. (I can do 1.6 miles in 29 minutes, but that's on my mostly flat, hard target walk.) I kept the same pace I usually do, but I didn't have to stop on the uphills. Go me. Weight: 178.2. That pound I lost to stress mostly came right back. :shrug:
No baking this week, but I'm feeling a serious need for cake. Maybe today.
No fishing either, but they're predicting a cool down soon, so there's hope. I definitely wouldn't be fishing this weekend anyway. Labor Day. :shudder: It's all peopley out there right now.
I'm up to 2.4 million in play money at the poker site. Would that it were real. And I made a straight flush yesterday. It's all luck of the draw, but still. The skill comes in trying to extract as much money as possible from your opponents with the hand you have. (And trying to avoid losing as much money as possible along the way.)
Like I said, I spent a lot of time yesterday on spreadsheet stuff. Loads of typing stuff in and comparing stuff to make sure the numbers are right. More of that today so I can finish this project and put it behind me. At least the typing part is done. Whew.
Well, it's time to start the day here. What went in on your worlds last week?
