auroracloud | Apr. 12th, 2020

Today I played around with my Dreamwidth user pics for a while, including changing my default icon, and for the first time in... over 1.5 years, I think... my default icon here doesn't look like Nyssa of Traken, so I feel very disoriented when I look at my Dreamwidth page and keep looking for "me". But I'd wanted a change for a while, we'll see if I stick with this one. (On LJ I don't have most of these icons, so it has no effect there.)

Today's Writing

Mentioning my Ambush Project in yesterday's post had its uses, as I ended up working on it today! Some handwritten pages, no idea of the word count or such. But it was nice to work on it for some time again.

In the evening I typed up the pages from one of the times recently when I worked on my novel with longhand writing rather than at the computer. It ended up being over 500 words, which is considerably more than I've recently managed at the computer, so maybe I need to do this handwriting thing more often with the novel as well. I also edited some while I was writing, and added some new things. There are still bits that have got a little comment attached to them that say "come up with something for this part," "finally come up with a surname for these people" etc. But I'm pretty pleased overall with what I did.
