captainsblogHad another of my stupid-offs today. I'd entered a court appearance for 4 p.m. More I looked at it, more I knew it was wrong. That's Just Not Done around here. I called, and sure enough, it was 2, same as the last one in this case. I also knew what happened; that deceptively easy Event wheel on the iPhone defaults, whenever you enter a future appointment, to the exact time of the day you're keying it in- and the last hearing in this thing went close to two hours.
My opponent had it down for 3 before he realized he'd made the same mistake. No idea what HE was thinking.
----
Before and after that (and even during, while three other cases came and went), I wrote. Some thought 7,500 words a day was unrealistic. They were right:
That's an even 10K today, baybee. Three days to go, 5K a day, and the last 5 are largely written in my head. The plot and the word count are both in the home stretch. I sing, I threaten to dance, I tell jokes. I've yet to kill a single human being, but there's an obligatory "rocks fall, everyone dies" scene anyway.
The only question now is, do I shop this to actual agents, or do I Lulu this?
