So what's been happening...
This has been a very lazy weekend. I... didn't do a lot.
I think I wrote 100 words on Verdant, when I should have been aiming for 2800+ a day. (3000 would have been better!)
So instead of writing, I ended up marathoning about 9 episodes of NCIS, followed by 1 episode of The Adventures of Sinbad and half an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yes, half an episode. The Buffy versus Dracula one. I'm on a Rudolf Martin kick. I had to quit watching it to come to work.
After work today, at least 2 laps of the Tallahassee Mall (making 2 miles per lap) and strength training. I'm getting really good at those sissy push-ups. I can do my 12 reps in under a minute now, and I'm only getting faster. The exercises of Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday are 2 sets of 12 reps of: crunches with twists, reverse crunches, modified push-ups, forward lunges with dumbbells, alternating dumbbell bicep curls, wall push-ups, dumbbell wrist curls, and step-ups. I'm adding wide leg squats with a dumbbell to that, and I'm also aiming for 3 minutes of continuous sit-ups. It takes me about 20 minutes to do the strength training, while we tend to bust out about a mile in fifteen minutes while doing the Mall.
I still need to do a new default icon for this journal, but... not right now. Right now I need to bust out at least 3000 words on Verdant before the end of the day. More than that would be even better. I'm never going to come close to Sherrilyn Kenyon's record (12 pages in an hour and 91 pages in a day), but I'm going to give it my all. Do my best. Go for the gold. And all those other cheesy sayings that make me want to hit someone over the head with a cast iron frying pan.
And now to work.
