Little surprises

Well, I got online to tell you I've written my 1000 words for the day. But actually I'm much more interested in the fact that Clark from R. C. Willey posted a comment on my blog about sushi. So it just goes to show you never know who's reading.

Welcome, Clark! I hope you'll drop by again! And I promise the next time you give away sushi I'll be there!

Meanwhile, I did write that 1000 words. And THIS time I did super early in the morning. I got up at 5:15. Did my hour walk with Miss Kathy next door, then WROTE--the theory being that the closer I am to my dreaming self, the more easily I can tap into my wellsprings of creativity. Or whatever.

It kind of worked, too. I think it helped to practice what I've been preaching for years--DON'T EDIT YOURSELF WHEN YOU WRITE YOUR FIRST DRAFT. Just let it flow, baby.

We'll see if this works tomorrow.
