It’s been another one of those days where I haven’t found a great deal of time to write. But I did something … about 600 words. It’s good to know that when time is short I can be happy with doing the little that I have time for.

Today – being Friday – was work as normal, but a relatively busy day. Found out that I was going to have to work tomorrow too – at first I wasn’t that happy with that because Saturday and Sunday were going to be my writing days, but I negotiated to get next Friday off if I came in this weekend. So though I’m having to work tomorrow, I can finish NaNoWriMo with 3 straight days off.

The reason that I didn’t get much writing done tonight was because I went along to see the Rocky Horror Show. I’d organised it a few weeks ago with my sister Jenny and my partner Maria. It wasn’t the most fantastic story – it could be confusing and hard to follow at times, not really knowing who certain characters were – but the whole story is framed as schlock science fiction, so you can forgive a few jumps of reasoning here and there. But overall, it just a fun show to watch. The characters were interesting, the songs were lively and the cast just looked like they were having a fantastic time on stage.

I didn’t get home from there until about 10:30pm. I decided that instead of just letting the day go by without doing anything on my story, I’d aim just to do a few hundred words. It only took me about 40 minutes to do 600, so now I can go to bed and be happy that I’ve made some progress…
