I totally get the being tired thing, it's been the same for me yesterday and today. Probably the weather turning warm again for me; I'd become so used to cool temperatures during the three weeks up north, and our first week back was horribly cold also here, so it's quite exhausting right now for me. I also signed up today for the Silmarillion 40 fest, my deadline is September 8th, and what I'm likely going to write is going to be rather experimental and interesting - or driving me crazy. ;o) The fest is to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the publishing of the Silmarillion, and the prompts cover the whole book. I chose the first, the Creation of Arda because it's one of the parts I love best about it. Not the easiest to write about, though! *g* But I might surprise myself yet. I also got the nicest compliments of a colleague of my husband about my travel blog, which has been a huge motivation boost for me. I wrote the blog to note things of our trip down, and to give our worrying parents something to calm their nerves with, *g* and in doing so I allowed myself just to write as I wanted to, often stream-of-consciousness-like. The colleague had just wanted to look at some pics, then started to read and couldn't stop again, saying she felt as if she'd been there. Can you get a better compliment? I don't think so. *beams* She also said I should consider writing professionally. ^^ I reported my tally on the 13th only just now, and you might have overlooked my late comment on the 12th as I'm not on the list yet. *makes mental note to get better at commenting on the daily posts in time* *blushes* Tally for today: so far, about an hour or so of mulling my fest prompt over in my mind and "writing" parts of it in my mind, too. A token sentence written down on the drawer fic just to show something, and a bit more editing and re-writing on that right now, for half an hour or so. Edit: make that an hour and about 500 words, heh. :o)
