I had forgotten about the bells and whistles

At noon on Sunday the village church bells go off for a long, long time here. Also they still have the noon civil defence whistles on I think Wednesday? I haven't heard the whistles but I heard the bells today while I was writing writing. That's all I did today. I wrote wrote wrote except taking time off to watch "Belle" on Frank's computer (personhead[livejournal.com profile] al_zorra is completely correct about this movie, by the way. So sad that they didn't make the movie they should have, but the staging is glorious). It rained all day anyhow.

I made the deadline for the anthology. And tomorrow I'm going to go run around town again. No more deadlines for a while, I think! I made three of them this month. I wrote about thirty-five thousand words this month. That is not prodigious but it is pretty good, I think.

I guess it's not prodigious but it's a very good number. Better than I did this month.

Personally, I think 35.000 words in a month is pretty darned good, OK?

And anybody who wants to know what I said about Belle from an historian's perspective, it's here.

Love, C.

Thank you, I wasn't sure if I should link or not.

Considering I haven't written any words of fiction for about 4 years, I think 35,000 words is pretty wonderful. It equals my best every effort at NaNoWriMo. Even when I'm writing, I'm a plodder.
