Daily Tweetage

My day in tweets:

07:54 Another bitter cold day. Am as good as hibernating at the moment. Fear icy conditions as may slip and break something, like old ladies do.

09:13 Why do I ache all over? It's not from over exercising... I'm far too idle a git for that!

09:46 Gonna get on my exercise bike now, see if I can loosen up and shake off the aches. It's worked for me that way before. :)

12:04 Yikes, the hero in this story of mine is a wicked horndog. 20 years younger than heroine, but at her all the time... hee hee.

16:13 Am getting v. annoyed waiting for a particular email.

18:47 I have got to chill and calm and not get vexed with people. I can feel myself ready to go Mrs Angry again...

20:25 Only 1K words today. Have given up & am watching Ice Road Truckers.

Daily Tweetage

My day in tweets:

23:38 Daily Tweetage: My day in tweets: 23:29 jeezum, have written 2K words this evening! nearly finished a story! I r.. tinyurl.com/8capcd

07:36 Current story seems to have gone off the rails a bit. Need to herd it back on course. And stop mixing metaphors too. LOL

07:37 Am starting to pay for that 2K words in around an hour. Shoulders & wrists rather sore. A steady pace of around 1K per day is better for me.

07:38 Another bitter cold day here in West Yorkshire. Glad I work from home. Himself has to go out, as 3 day week seems to be 4 day this week.

08:11 Drinking Twinings 1706 Blend tea at the moment. Delicious! Might be better than Yorkshire Gold, methinks...

09:20 Not dressed yet, but have written 100 words of current story. Steering it back on track. I hope.

10:55 One piece of Christmas cake left. Eat now? Save for afternoon tea break?

13:48 Well, have written my 1K words for the day. Good going, eh, before lunch!

14:29 Broke kitchen timer I use for writing, but have now discovered timer on my phone and love it! So loud & sounds just like an alarm clock!

17:48 Sigh. Liked my story when first started it, then hated it, then liked it, now think it's a shambling mess again.

20:42 Am worried about a friend.

20:56 twitter seems a bit bolluxed up tonight

21:10 Oh dear, am very, very tired all of a sudden. Massive yawning.

21:31 wot the blinkin eck is up with twitter? Stuff's arriving in the wrong order...

Daily Tweetage

My day in tweets:

09:56 I'm back to drinking Capt. Scott blend tea. Cheaper than Yorkshire Gold & nearly as tasty. Still worry about dying in a tent though.

09:59 So much to do today & so little motivation. But must be harsh with myself & get stuck in & stop behaving like a dilettante instead of pro

11:20 Hell, I'm *still* tweeting! Step away from the tweetage, woman!

11:22 Am not really here, but have won lottery! Alas, cannot retire to life of luxury on ten quid 'tho...

14:18 Agh, I love this little story of mine, but having to check the proofs of it is making me crazy. Feel slightly sick every time I look @ them

14:52 Forced myself to read thru story again. And it's okay. Was just being stupid, not wanting to look at it. Changes okay to send to editor now.

15:00 Well, one job down. Now have another dreaded job, writing bio for antho I'm going to be in! Need non irritating way to make self sound fab!

15:14 Wahey, both proof corrections & final version of bio now sent off. Need to treat myself to slice of Xmas cake as a reward. To hell w/ thighs

The ingenuity of Mulder

Was walking through the hall, and heard a rustling sound coming from a pile of coats there, which were on top of the box containing our new boiler [it's a long story...] As I watched, there was movement amongst the coats, and a second later, a head popped out!

Mulder loves to 'nest'. :)
