The Novel Diary: Week 51
Word count: 40,082.
I usually write my novel diary update on Monday night but am doing it today (Tuesday) because last night I enjoyed football and drunken debauchery at the home of Bobblehead’s parents. (I did not drink a single drop of alcohol, including beer, much to the dismay and astonishment of others.) It was good fun and indicative of the many and welcome holiday diversions that kept me from my once regimented writing routine. However, the fun stops tonight.
One year ago next Wednesday I began writing my novel. I paused in late-August for the college football season and have not touched it since. Before restarting I have committed myself to finishing the next revision of “Paths,” and I will start that in earnest tonight — probably while watching the Sugar Bowl. And the Orange Bowl tomorrow night. I may be partly distracted but I will get the work done. Hey — it worked well in California when I had Dodgers’ game on in the background.
