20K words at freaking last. Dang real life keeps slowing me down. Can manage 500 words a day, most days. 1000 if I’m lucky. Bleh.

60K! It’s done!
The PDF will be winging its way to my Beta-readers as soon as I’ve got it ready.
Stand by…

I just hit 30K words.
Halfway to having a decent novel.
And I still have to write two more. Yaaaaayyy…
Now I’m on the home stretch, I’m thinking about how to handle the second book. And how I’m going to handle polishing the first novel whilst writing the second.
Any volunteers for beta-reading?

Okay, so I’ve almost transferred all my files and folders from the dying laptop to my new lunchbox Mac. Yay.
I’ve installed Minecraft - essential!
And now I’m trying to find where the save games are so I can get on with the MathMagician Adventure Map.
Alas, things have changed and I can’t find the bugger.
I know it’s in ~/Library/Application Support… but I can’t remember where I

More progress pix on my adventure map.
Slowly making my way back to the part where I was starting to desperately need math from Mayhem’s teacher. I haven’t taken any of these pix recently, ‘cause I’m still working on the sewer level a week later 9_9
It’s really complicated to make a sewer level! I’m still working out where to put all the dispensers and whether I should make another

Including the standard daily wobble, I’m losing roughly a kilo a week. That’s progress of a sort. I did have an alarming jump of more than a kilo upwards, but I’m back down again.
Not by the kilo and a bit I gained, of course.
Weight is easier to gain than drop. Everyone should know that.
The slow diet is working. Exercise, chia and determination help.
Of course, since I am being good at my diet,

Sir Terry Pratchett argued convincingly that everything must have it’s opposite. Not just the light-dark opposite, but the opposite that goes through the conventional, traditional opposite and out the other side.
We have progress. What I’m having is a kind of anti-progress that has gone through retention and out the other side.
I am getting fit enough to take the dog around two blocks -yay- BUT, on the anti-progress side, I’ve been struck from asthma as

I took an actual day off, today. Well, most of a day off.
Possibly 50% of a day off.
Because a Mum’s work is never done. I can’t have a complete day off.
The dog got out and I had to go catch him. Invisible fences are looking increasingly attractive right now.
And I spent the afternoon teaching Mayhem (my eldest) that playing with the dog is fun.
That was exhausting. But fun.
But I didn’t
