SL Day 8

[faustus]

Week two - day one. And just after I wrote yesterday's entry, I looked to see that there's a copy of The Road to Corlay on top of the four piles of books on the shelf to the left of my desk. And this is the 1980s reprint which includes "Piper at the Gates of Dawn". So a) I think I may have three copies of this book (in two states) and b) I could have reread "Piper" before The Road to Corlay. Heigho.

A day of thirds - in the middle I was down the pub - with about half of it given to writing, something in excess of 3,000 words, as I wrote on Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, King Kong, and all but the Kinship novels of Cowper. So let's see, bits in three chapters. Seasonally adjusted, that makes:

41300 / 120000 words. 34% done!


I am not going to do a word count every day.

I also read the second Morgaine novel - which I will comment on after reading the third - and ordered or tried to order six more books I've missing.
