Had my test. That first section I hadn't remembered wasn't even in the test, so whatever. Stressed myself out for nothing.

Pretty sure I'll get 11 or 12 out of 12 for this one. The first 9 marks were easy, the last 3 I think I had enough information to get 2/3 at least...

So at this point, when I take the exam in about 5 or 6 weeks, I'll need to get only a handful of questions right to pass the subject. But I'm going for an A, baby!

Hi Clff Face,

well done with your philosophy test yesterday. I’ve been catching up with all that’s been going on in this NaNo forum, and I was feeling for you having to study the other night.

How is your shoulder now? Did you hurt it, do you think, moving the furniture (so often done)? If I were you, I’d have a lovely lavender bath followed by a massage, of the shoulder, with arnica oil/cream.

My poor fiction writing has fallen by the wayside: in the last couple of months, the MS (multiple sclerosis not manuscript!) has got worse, the scoliosis more pronounced, and a new live-in carer has moved in.

How wonderful then, and inspirational, is this thread!

Thank you, Cliff Face - and, if I do write anything this month, I’ll let you know.

Wishing everybody well with their writing.

Virginia

Thanks. :)

Yeah, it was probably due to shifting furniture, though that shoulder always gives me grief.

I'll skip the bath (I'm not a bath person, much prefer showers :)) but a massage would be fantastic!

Hope you feel better and get some words written. :)

Taking a day off from Uni. My neck is killing me... I can hardly move.

Don't know quite what caused it. It just started to really hurt in the shower. Probably related to my shoulder pain, but much worse.

Going to lie down soon.

Feel better soon, Cliff. :(

Spanish teacher graded one assignment (a minor one), which brought my ungraded assignment total to 10. Then I did another and brought it back up to 11. :tongue Wonder how long I can keep THAT up...

Should be done with the course soon. :) Yay!

I hope a good night's sleep will work the kinks out of my neck. I have to go to the Uni tomorrow, to hand in some homework. Can't miss that without losing some of my grade...

And I'm supposed to be getting an essay back tomorrow too. Eep!

A properly supportive pillow and a good chiropractor do wonders.

My secret project short story is uploaded to at least some of the stores, so I only have to wait for Sunday, official release day. Some people already discovered it for 6 sales yesterday.

Still working on rewrites for Chapter 2, and I feel like screaming. I know I have to press on and continue. But I think my rewrites may take longer than my first draft. Still debating on whether or not I want to do a third. Ugh. Rewrites/Editing is slowly becoming a pain.

ETA: and I did :D Back up to 11. :tongue

ETA2: and then teacher graded 4 of them... ._. couldn't possibly get it back up to 11... lol. My grade went up though. :)

Got a reading assignment back - 7/8. Somehow I failed at reading something. Whoops.

Was hoping to get the essay back, but it'll be next Thursday (that's what he said last Thursday!). Eh, the tutor has PhD students handing in theses and stuff, which take precedence.

I now have 3 days off, in which I need to fully read Mrs. Dalloway. I'm 20 pages in, and it's sooooo much work. I'm not enjoying it all that much. But 3 days oughta get me to the end of it.

Worked on more edits today. Still have about three more chapters to work on. I hope I can finish it this week honestly.

Went to the library today and checked out two UF books: one of the Dresden Files series and one of the Mercy Thompson series.

I wrote the first 229 words of my first draft just now. I will follow this through to the end. I didn't start it when it wanted to at the beginning of the month. I had things on my mind, eh life.

I just can't seem to make any progress on Mrs. Dalloway.

I mean, the descriptions are really good, but there's just too much of it it seems.

I have until Monday to finish it. I'll have to wait and see how far I can get.
