My brain hurts

persimmonfrostI've been writing most of the day, stopping only to chat with Charles, and do some laundry. I don't really remember eating but I'm guessing I did.
The first novella has gone out to Tazlet for a critique. (Also because I think she needs to get on this bandwagon.) The second is currently at just under 5k, which means it's about 1/3rd finished. My goal is to be able to send three finished novellas to the company by the end of August. After that I intend to finish at least one of these novels and use it as a follow-up. With luck and persistence, NaNoWriMo may produce a second novel. It'll be a good beginning.
There's nothing like paying huge bills to remind you of why you're working like a fiend. Unless I sell some stuff there'll be no new patio and no new windows next year.
In other news, there is no other news. The house is a wreck because I'm doing very little other than writing. The basement and garage are disasters. But I do have clean sheets to put on my bed tonight and a slice of blueberry coffee cake to have with some tea. Life is suprisingly good, and will be better if I manage to run off all the rest of the dirty dishes before I go to bed tonight.
Oh and someone is playing the music from A Fist Full of Dollars on an outdoor PA system. What a strange little neighborhood I live in.
