Funky Days in the Dark
Today was one of those days that seemed to last forever. Not necessarily in the good kind of way. You know that feeling you get when you stay up all night by yourself? It's a lonely kind of "I'm the only person alive in the world" feeling. That's what today was like. Talked to Dave last night and he said he'd be over today, but never showed up. That's okay, I know he's got a new girl and that always takes precedent, but I guess I was a little bummed when he didn't show up. I probably wouldn't have been the greatest company even if he had. I might have had one of those anti-social vibes going anyway, though I won't be sure because I didn't really interact with anyone. LOL!
Talked with my girl via email and that brightened my evening some. She wrote over 1,000 words in her book today and that was pretty cool. She says my daily progress is an inspiration of sorts for her and she wants to keep up with me. That's cool as hell! And you know what? I wasn't even planning on writing today, just wasn't in the mood. But after that email, I got my ass to the Dana and wrote a good bit, almost 1,400 words. (Thanks babe!) Chapter Six is done and I've started on Seven this evening. My main character is feeling pretty down these days, a little lost and confused, and though I'm not anywhere near in the situation he is, there's a certain bond that we're sharing recently.
I think I need some sun. I hope tomorrow is going to be a bright day, sky-wise. I can't wait to go to bed and wake up tomorrow. One way or another I'm going out tomorrow, even if it's just grocery shopping (which is a necessity at the moment). It's getting dark so early these days. It's something I used to find inspiring and romantic (if I dare say). Not sure how I feel about it this year. Seems a little cold and forlorn.
Okay, enough of this moody shit ... onto the writing.
Chapter Seven -- "Displaced"
As I mentioned above, Brendan (ONLINE's main character) is out-of-sorts. He's inadvertantly developing a relationship of a kind with the Alexa (the villain). I try to keep too much plot out of these descriptions, just to avoid spoilage. Suffice it to say, as it is with every story, it's a matter of coincidence and timing which has brought them together. The wrong place at the wrong time.
Page Count (Yes, I got all the words off the Dana finally and onto the main manuscript on the laptop ...): 149
Word Count: 33,312
