    Didn't do the traintrack on Friday, legs still sore from previous walk, including it was only 70% of my usual distance (if memory serves correct, my 2hr walk is just under 10Ks).
    Did the walk on Satdee, deciding if I once again feel too sore by shroom corner, I'll turn back.
    I didn't and continued to power walk to the turn point, clocked at 8mins slower than my ususal.
    Had a brief rest and power walked back home, again, 8 mins slower than usual.
    Very sore today.
    May need another 2 day rest before traintracking again, but wills ee if I'm up for it tomorrow.

    Nothing like trying to ditch on a day with no work obligations. :p
    Not sure if that is a fail, or a win? Will call it a silly draw. :D

    Sitting on the sofa. I've fallen slightly to one side, but can't be bothered to straighten up.

    And further down you will sink, and even less will you be bothered as time goes on.

    I've straightened up!

    But now my bare foot is too close to a heater.

    Thanks! Hopefully more soon to come. Fun times writing. First time ever trying something remotely comical.

    More research. This time on pastors clothing, for a central character. No matter the era, religious figures wear/wore funny stuff.

    Afterward, lunch. I'm enjoying my weekend of solitude more so than ever. Oh, sweet solitude, don't ever leave me hanging again. :love:

    Absorbing football through the pores of my skin. The TV is behind me right now, so I'm not actually watching the Patriots losing to the Eagles, but I can feel it. And hear it. Is there anything more delicious than a Patriots loss? Other than a Giants loss?

    Absorbing Mickey's Malt Liquor with my liver, 1 pint at a time, and
    making dinner. Not too keen on reading the worst thing in the entire
    universe that was requested of me to read review. Not even the Devil
    in Hell's 6th sub-basement would use it as a form of torment, that is how
    bad it is. :p

    I find a Bears loss of equal taste and value. It may be common, but it is delectable.

    Listening to Eric Satie and feeling gross for not having picked up the house today. But it's a dark day and cold. I feel like I should write today, but I'm not going to. I admit that I'm not sure on the limits of writing on these forums. I know I was told that it would take so many days and posts before the workshop was available to me. Still, I think I'm prolly gonna post a second post on my blog just to type some words out, if for no other reason than just to remember how to use some of them.

    Thanks, EF Mingo :supercute:

    My hair is that colour! Unfortunately, I am considerably older than 1960's Ann Margaret :cry:
    But I wear it well :supercheeky:

    She was Scandanavian, like you.

    Had a good weekend of writing.

    Earlier his week, I had my first rejection from an agent, but I'm not feeling too bad. They sent detailed notes, and liked the writing, so that's good.

    They seemed to be saying the story should be simplified. But I had already started doing that. Hence why I feel pretty positive.

    That's fantastic! I envy you. I seriously can't wait until I start collecting rejection notices. After all, they're just a step away from being a published author. I'm going to start submitting this next year, so here's hoping. Also, best of luck! ^^

    Ah, thanks, OmniTense. Tbh, I've been working on this novel for a long time, so I do slightly fear that I will never finish it lol.

    But it is so difficult to get every element right.

    Good luck with yours!

    Well, if you ever feel you need to go back to the drawing board with it, I can help as a beta reader.

    Really? Is that something you would be able to do?

    I could offer beta reading in return, of course...

    Still, it's a big thing. 75K words...

    Not that I'd need it right now. But if my current edit runs aground....

    What a lovely fella :)

    You know, what pleased me most about the feedback was that they liked my sense of humour.

    I don't usually mention that I want to be funny lol. But it is quite important to me.
