Mar. 21st, 2008 08:59 pmSnow's pretty much stopped. I think we wound up with 7-8" of heart attack-grade stuff.
I decided last night to work at home today. Got up this morning to find the ground still clear and no snow falling, but by the time I brewed coffee and fired up the work laptop, it had started. I muttered to myself. Got stuff done. Worked in my jammies for the first time in recent memory--I usually get dressed as soon as I get up because I don't feel ready to face the day otherwise. But today the jammies felt ok, for some reason.
I figured I would wait for tomorrow morning to attempt to shovel. Heard a snowblower around 4pm, and looked out to find my neighbor's son clearing my driveway. He did the whole thing--all I had to shovel were the sidewalks and the deck. Bless his heart. He save me about three hours hard labor.

Date: 2008-03-22 02:29 am (UTC)I admit I'm not pushing--still have that "I've got plenty of time" fiction rattling around in my head. The other issue is that even though I'm working on Chapter 4, it's a time shift with a new POV, so it's essentially another beginning, and beginnings are difficult.
The ending, I've got. I even have some of the dialogue.
