Today I could not get out of bed. I feel the rain that is forever showering down on this land to be washing the nutrients of everything away and churning up dead dirt and dying leaves. It is not nice (although I like it when it gets too dark to see.)

Word count 10,600 (broke 10,000 - yaah!)

One week has gone by. Although I am behind (should be at 14,000 words I guess,) I have 17 pages and I would say a good idea of where the story is going. I also got a chance to start constructing a "pitch," distilling the ideas down to one or two sentences and then expanding on them if someone seems interested.

Ergonomically, though, I'm a wreck.
