I Guess I was Thinking About It

So I stopped writing for 2 weeks, and today I sat down and wrote 19 pages so far. I'm about to go back to it, and if everything stays quiet I'll get another 10 in.

I don't know how many words that is, 'cos I did it longhand. Needless to say, I had the day off from the day job - no way this kind of writing gets done around work. I also went to the gym and figured out the entire outline of the third quarter of my book while on the treadmill. The whole thing - zap. Now I just have to write it.

So, you see, sometimes when you're not writing, you're writing. You know?

As for the partial request I got, if any of you are beginning queriers out there, let me point out two things: 1. it's from a query I sent in June and 2. it's from a different agent at the agency than the one I sent my query to. What can we learn from this, kids? Yep - querying is very weird and you have no control over what happens and the sooner you stop obsessing about it, the better off you are.

Oh, and in other news - I finally figured out RSS feeds. Could I be any more behind the times, one thinks? Perhaps next I'll apply myself to figuring out this curious "electronic-mail" device or this perplexing "word-processing" program or this innovative "switch" that claims to "turn on lights". I'm reserving my opinion on all three.

Back to writing...
