Met my goals today. Wrote roughly 300 new words on Murder by the Mile and edited a couple of chapters to update for the new murderer. The change seems to be pulling the book together. Originally I had the murderer be an out-of-towner. I didn't realize how that would stifle our heroes. Part of the charm of the series is the residents of Ryton with all their quirks and follies. With the murderer not being a resident, the residents didn't get to shine as they should. Wish I had stumbled on this sooner. I was stubborn and didn't want to give up the words and work I had already done.
Walked at the gym, but only did two miles and didn't do the bike or arm curl machine. Didn't feel well at all. Weather is changing -- finally -- and my joints are really aching. Also, still having sleep problems, so my get up and go was plumb tuckered out.
Thought I'd share a few of my recent Tweets of Wisdom.
The secret of life is that you have to find a way to be happy. Hopefully this doesn't involve cannibalism.
Hey, I lost enough weight that I can touch my toes again. Although no one has told me why I would want to.
Oh, I only have 10 toes. I want to put that rumor about them to rest.
They say Congress hates Obama. I'm beginning to think they don't like us much, either.
Been told I shouldn't be so discouraged by Congress. That's like telling a drowning man he shouldn't be bothered by all that water.
Another one of my therapists went mad today. That's three in a row. I wonder what's happening to them.
People ask what inspires the murderous ideas for my book, and I realize Congress has given me something after all.
Remember the good old days when they burned politicians at the stake. What? They burned heretics? Even nostalgia isn't a comfort now.
Don't know why I've been so down on Congress. No, wait, I do. They're mean-spirited, greedy, short-sighted, unfaithful batweasels.
Anyway, that's it for tonight. Hope life is treating you well.
