Well, I'm Writing

I took about a week off from writing because basically I wasn't doing anything other than banging my head against the wall.  I found a prompt that really grabbed me from the then_theres_us ficathon, which is harder than it sounds.  There's a few hundred prompts there and only one jumped me viciously, though I did have one that went kinda sorta maybe that I'll look at again when I finish this one.  I woke up at five this morning and couldn't get back to sleep.  That's not quite as bad as it sounds as I fell asleep before midnight for a change.  It's the first day of school today so I didn't even try very long to get back to sleep.  Instead I opened up a word document, looked at my prompt again and started to write.  I think it's going to be too long to be comment fic.  It almost is already and I'm just getting into it.

I'll write on it some more after I get my second kiddo off to school.  I'll take him in about ten minutes.  Then I'll write until it's time for my dentist appointment at 11:00.  Hopefully I can finish it today and maybe work on LoF, although that's probably too much to ask.  I feel in a much better place with writing, though.  Maybe I'll never get back the ability to churn out 2000 words a day, but a couple short fics or chapters a week would be nice.

I started swimming again on Monday.  I did 15 laps.  13 is 1/4 of a mile.  It's nowhere near the 45 I was up to before I got hurt again, but it's a start and I can't push myself too hard.  It's not even been two months since the surgery yet.  I am going to try to swim every other day, but we'll have to see.  My body felt better afterwards.  Swimming really helps to loosen up the back.

I started a new diet this morning, too.  So far so good and no food cravings.  We'll see where I am at the end of the day.

Britpick Question

What do you call the place you take your car to get it fixed?  Here it's either taking it to the mechanic's or to the garage.  Do you have a different word for it or is it the same?

Brief Fic Update

Well, I didn't get as much writing done as I wanted to do, but I am very happy with what I did do.  I could have spent more time on it but I discovered I had a library book that was due yesterday and couldn't renew it because someone had a hold on it.  I had 100 pages left to read in it so I did that instead.

Tomorrow I have no appointments so I will try again to write some more.  This fic is turning out to be a little cute and a little annoying.  Or, I mean they are kind of annoying each other and being cute at the same time.  It's sweet and I am enjoying writing again.  Didn't get a lick of work done on ch. 32 of LoF though.  Oh, well, with the kids back and school and my energy returning, it will get done.
