Wonder of wonders - it rained today! All day, not just for a few minutes. The rain brought back memories of watching this show which I have not seen since I was about twelve, probably because it has not rained in that long*.

It was a great surprise to have the right weather for this time of year. According to the news some even fell in the catchment area so water restrictions may not need to be tightened just yet, an even greater relief. Most of the time rain does fall here it is not in the places where it can do some good.
I just came back from a spot of night walking and it felt great. The smell of water soaking umbrella fabric is one I have sorely missed. It sounds like a bird when I flap it about; startled birds sound like fabric snapping when they beat their wings.
On the writing front progress is actually being made. For the first time in months i may actually have something to post on two consecutive weeks**. I suspect I have juuuust... now finished this week's entry, leaving tomorrow for editing. Possibly I may even be able to make some progress on another before bed, though it is quite late. Making writing a priority also helps answer the question 'How much online reading is actually important?' (almost none of it) much better than trying desperately to keep up with it and hoping there will be time for writing left over after.
Weekly progress updates have largely stopped because there has not been enough weekly progress to justify them; same with the story index. Plus I am largely a mess of chaos that just pretends to be organised but couldn't file efficiently to save its life.
Today's Thingies: Is my clumsy prose obscuring points which would be made clear by a defter touch? Shouldn't characters have personality? Why am I afraid to make it interesting? What is this thing, anyway?
*May be an exaggeration
**Caution: Writer in journal may be less productive than it appears
