the_rckMy year to date fiction word count is 169708. My year to date journal word count is 81251. I'm not deleting dates or html tags from the word counts for my journal and not deleting html tags from fic documents. I'm doing the counts in Gdocs which does count html (a real issue when just barely scraping past a minimum word count) and considers hyphenated things as all one word. I'm also counting things that I wrote and then cut.
I managed just under 26K words of fic this month which makes it fourth out of the five months so far this year (February, I only wrote 19K words).
I realized last night that the new plot strand I found the other day changes certain things in one of the two story branches. I don't know that I'll write anything related to that change, but it shifts things considerably if I ever do go on there. Of course, part of the shift loses the canonical character voice for a minor but memorable character, and I'm not 100% sure I should keep that. Then again, I never quite managed to make Watsonian sense of him, and this kind of does.
I'm feeling pretty good right now. I felt middling bad this morning on getting up, but finally getting breakfast helped immensely. I'm a bit concerned because I have a doctor's appointment at 1:15 (gastroenterology) which means I'm likely to crash while out. I should be fine getting home on autopilot, though. I've done it while feeling worse than I'm likely to. I'll take some almonds and triscuits with me and hope that they help.
I emailed my doctor last night in case I can't manage to call today. I suspect that I'll get some crankiness from the nurses for not having called before yesterday to ask about it, but I had other calls that couldn't be put off at all. I also kept hoping that my body would adjust and be okay.
I'm frustrated with the mail program I'm using. I'm on a MacBook Pro and running Sierra. The mail program mostly won't let me scroll down to see earlier messages in a thread, just bounces me back to the top repeatedly. When I open a message that has images, it will pulse in and out-- picture, nothing, picture, nothing-- for at least 10 seconds. It will do that every time I go back to such a message. The program also has weird problems with my tertiary email address and will periodically insist that it can't verify my password for that account. Since I keep receiving mail during those times, I'm really not sure what's going on. The account can't be down.
Scott is sufficiently stressed out about other things that he simply doesn't have energy to try to figure this one out.
