I'm certainly glad today is almost over.

[0jack]

Oof. Well, hoorah for us, then!

[clare_dragonfly]

Oof, yes.

Also, note to self: writing always makes you feel better. Why am I always forgetting that fact?!

I still want a trophy though ;)

Man, today was rough.

Note to self: next time you have to type up a huge entry, plan it beforehand. Seriously.

My brain is fried from thinking too much about themes and how they relate to my plots and characters. It's like I need a break. And tomorrow's topic on the meme is plots and I can tell it's going to be like pulling teeth. *whines*

Apparently I should have posted my comment on the last post a little earlier today! Sorry I wasn't more timely.

My progress remains desultory. I blame people being wrong on the internet.

[recessional]

I get to sleep in tomorrow. I am RIDIC happy about this.

Also, I posted something on the excerpt post.

I was so glad, yeah. Long week. *really* need to get my hay-fever tablets restocked, don't think that's helping.

Broke through one *augh, this is like pulling teeth* bit and promptly hit another a few hundred words on... :(

In completely unrelated info, someone on my flist posted a link to Google's Ngram Viewer. I had no idea they had anythinig like it, but granted their pursuits in analytics on web content, it makes sense.
I popped in an example that compares frequency of two words.
Thos of you with historical terms to worry about, here's another reference point to work from. Probably not infallible, since this is book content, may not include other print sources.
