auroracloud | Apr. 14th, 2018

The muscles in my neck, shoulders and upper back have been so sore today after yesterday's massage. It happens sometimes when you really needed the massage, the muscles get sore the next day. I just wasn't expecting it now, I didn't realize they'd been so tight. Hopefully tomorrow they'll feel better.

I was so heroic today and went downtown and shopped for clothes. Trust me, that's heroic for me, especially on a Saturday. I hate clothes shopping. I like having nice clothes when I manage that, but going through the selection and trying a hundred things on before finding something that's right, and the lights and the noise of the shop... It's just so much. But at least I like some of the fashions available this spring - it's worse when you can't find anything wearable. I did find most of what I was looking for, at least. Spent the early evening being quite drained. Didn't have nearly as much writing energy as I'd have wished. But I did let myself watch a Miss Fisher episode.

Today's Writing

I was working on the novel again, but didn't get the four-digit counts I'd been hoping for. A little under 500 words on the draft, plus some notes, fleshing out a side character.

I'm having lots of fun with Main Character 2's scenes and viewpoint. The voices and such come out so nicely. Of course it's still a very rough draft, but at least the feeling's right, you know?
