The surface is unstable, shifting, swelling, falling, never so much as cracking. It is soft, yielding to touch. My hand pushes through easily and I am suddenly aware that it is completely cut off from the atmosphere. No air, no oxygen, only cold pressure.
Yes, we have a pool. It is filled at last.
Internet is very slow for some unknown reason. Very difficult to check other people's journals (or even to update my own) for now so please accept my apologies for any tardiness. The process of configuring and familiarising myself with Ubuntu continues slowly.
No point making a monthly writing update after the long catch-up one last week. So far my writing progress seems to be patterned fortnightly, with alternating weeks of every day writing and weeks in which I write on only one or two days at most. Last week was a non writing week. I managed only 1,506 words in two days of writing, all of it on the Epic Fantasy which has been delayed. This puts last month's total word count at 8,793 out of an intended total of 3,100.
Last month the target was 100 words per day. This month the target is 200. Hopefully at the end I will have at least 6,000 new words to show for it.
Except, to finish the Epic Fantasy on time (for given values of 'on' and 'time') I estimate I will need to actually write ~18,000 new words. I shall consider this a secondary goal. Or the other way round. Not sure, too tired to care.
