I am better!!! (so writing will commence tomorrow)

:D It is 12.07pm, and I'm feeling human. My contact lenses are still abit dry, so I'm praying my contact lense lady is able to get me some replacements.

When I woke up this morning, I felt tired and low on the energy front. I'm feeling better (we ignore the small square of chocolate I've just consumed), and am having a leisurely day at home. That virus/cold thing really knocked it out of me. My immune system is rubbish, and it reacts to things in a very interesting way. Writing - well, it will happen tomorrow, I promise. Today is still on R&R. (read lots of gaming).

Currently on Tomb Raider Anniversary. I like it because its more puzzle based, so far not heaps of enemies which scare me when they appear from no-where (or when I step onto a trigger point....) I'm doing ok. For the 1st time I've had to look at a walkthrough, which for me, on TR, is good going (i'm on the 2nd 'level'). Annoyed cos can't as yet change her outfit (hope this one is more sensible than the original when she wore shorts in very cold weather. Later versions she wears trousers). I like it for the outfits :) (especially the arctic gear). I'd half got the idea for the atlas room, and i'm on the posiden room at the moment (spelling uncertain). I can figure this out!

All of this has something to do with writing...its what I do when I'm not writing :) And gives me time to contemplate my wips (currently at war with an idea in Termion. If I do x to a character, then I have the next few chapters figured out. However. If I do y to a character (no, its not Jinna), then I haven't a clue what could happen. Will go figure that out.

Having PB sandwich for lunch :D Yummy!

*Hugs to days off*

Okay, so today was an impromptu day off (thanks to radiator man changing when he was coming). But it was productive.

40 mins of Japanese (in 20 min sessions, where I focused really hard and a lot went in my head).

Several, wonderful hours on TR:A. I finished Peru! Really pleased because I managed to find 2 secrets in the last level. Am fed of up velocoraptors, but hopefully I've seen the last of them. In St Frances' Folly now....and already groaning in memory of the original game. But I've got quite a supply of medipacks, so hopefully I'll survive (well, Lara will....eventually).

Also had several equally wonderful hours of writing. Completed chapter 3, started and finished chapter 4, and started chapter 5 of Termion! Making good headway with the first draft. Very drafty, but there'll be a lot to work with on the first edit. Potentially I may get to chapter 7 today. About to put on a movie, and write :)

Made pesto and pine-nut bread last night in the breadmachine - it ended up a bit doughy. But today it seems to have dried out a bit more, so I'm not too concerned. It's edible, and very tasty.. Might try adding a little less granary, and just a little less pesto (okay, i added nearly 3 tbsp instead of 2...)

My wips! Yes, I said I'd mention them... Um it'll be under separate posts so people can discuss them easily.
