Back in the Slammer

I’m in Facebook jail again, for posting this:

I swear to God, this system they have on Facebook is dumb as fuck. Last time, I was locked up for suggesting the court of law should give the death sentence to people who commit treason. This time, it’s for expressing my anger.

Both times, they called it incitement of violence. If they bothered to look at the entire context of these posts, they might see how stupid their system is. But they don’t do that. They take little remarks out of context and lock your ass up, giving you no opportunity to clarify what you meant.

While in lockup, I can’t post or comment on Facebook. I can only read other people’s posts and use the messenger. I should be out in a couple days, but I expect my account will have some restrictions for a while, just so they can make sure I’m properly punished for my offenses.

Anyway, I got in a little more writing last night. The current scores:

Novel 6
Words Added: 305
Total Wordcount: 96,549

Story 44

Total Pagecount: 6

Fell Short Last Night Too

Got in a little bit last yesterday. Was much distraction and I ended up having to throw in the towel. The good news is, I got up early today.

Last night’s score. I’m confused on how I got 721 words into the novel yesterday. It’s gotta be a miscalculation, but I did the math over and over again, subtracting the previously posted wordcount from the current wordcount, and it keeps coming out at 721.

Novel 6
Words Added: 721
Total Wordcount: 96,244
Total Pagecount: 474

Story 44
Words Added: 29
Total Wordcount: 669
Total Pagecount: 4

 

Not an All-nighter

I didn’t get in any writing yesterday. Today, I thought I’d stay up as late as I had to in order to get my desired minimum of five pages into the novel and five pages into the story. But dude, I’m dead in my chair and production has been slow today, so I’m calling it a night at 2:17 AM.

Well, Shit

My production was brought to a screeching halt yesterday, because of some bullshit I’m too lazy to go into details about. Nothing personal. Just computer shit fucking up. I didn’t get it resolved until late this afternoon.

So, yesterday’s production was much lower than it might have been. This is yesterday’s score:

Novel 6
Words Added: 394
Total Wordcount: 95,523
Total Pagecount: 471

Story 44
Words Added: 263
Total Wordcount: 381
Total Pagecount: 3

There might or might not be a score to report for today, because I’m already tired out.

Progress Reporting

For a while I was reporting progress stats, but I’d fallen off that wagon. I feel a little antsy when I don’t keep up with that. I like keeping track of my progress. So, I’m going to try getting back on that wagon.

Currently, Novel 6 is 94,043 words and 463 pages. Story 43 is 7,944 words and 38 pages. I’ve been getting work into each almost every day, but not as much as I’d like.

Let’s see what those numbers look like at the end of the day.

Michigan’s Womens Basketball have advanced to the Elite Eight. The Mens Basketball team is out.

Spring Training has started. The regular season starts April 7. The Tigers first game is April 8.

I need to shave.

Another All-Nighter

One of the reasons I like Six Feet Under is it’s a very informative show and I learn a thing or two from each episode. Often, I’m pausing to look up something that was mentioned in the show so I can find out more about it.

There’s some question about whether there will be an MLB season this year. The league and the players have not reached an agreement.

5:00 AM is an ungodly time, but I refused to surrender. I got 5 pages-861 words into the novel and 5 pages-1,061 words into the story. I’m tired, can’t keep my eyes open and my nerves are shot. Going to bed now.

Up All Night

I placed an order through DoorDash tonight. I guess there was a problem. The Dasher tried to call me a couple times, but I don’t take phone calls. I have instructions with every order that say “Deaf, please text.” When I didn’t answer the phone after the second call, they canceled the order.

Some people don’t know what the word “deaf” means.

Anyway, I pulled an all-nighter and hammered down 10 pages of fiction, 5 pages-1,174 words to the novel and 5 pages-747 words to the story. I really need to have more days of high production like this. Been havng too many days of low production.

Okay, it’s 6:15 in the morning. Good night. See you tomorrow.

Four Random Things from my Day

1) Next time Christians in my life make a fuss about me drinking, I’m going to remind them of the wedding guests who drunk all the wine, and Jesus turned water into wine so the guests could continue drinking.

2) I’ve been watching Six Feet Under again. The scene where the baby dies in the crib has always been hard for me to sit through. All through the rest of that episode, my heart aches and I get teary-eyed. Rico, a young father, is very convincing in showing how hard it is for a funeral home employee to work with an infant death.

3) The Red Wings did not win today.

4) I wrote 433 words into the novel and 381 words in the story. I wanted to keep going, but I’m really burned out.
