This one'll never sell

I was doing so great this morning, immersed in writing from the moment I woke up, with a brief break to eat a ham and cheese croissant at the corner cafe with limenal before climbing steep hills back with my carton of milk from the store.

I don't want to live in San Francisco, but I can still love it in different ways, in the ways which I love all cities and people who inhabit them and their ways of constructing lives based on geography and weather and shapes of houses and ways of getting to stores and who's faces are seen on trains and sidewalks, inside pick up trucks weighed down heavy with broken down cardboard.

There are palmettos out the window (I think, as I'm no botanist) and a blue sky that changes shape every second as the white clouds roll and combine, passing left to right. I needed a change of scenary, and I got it. I'm going to change it again, going to the back bedroom that overlooks the backyard...and the hills....and the city and the bridge and the water....but even more useful than the view is the distance my laptop will be from the wireless connection, keeping me in check from falling down holes I've been wanting to get away from.

This one'll never sell, Part Two

I know, I'm inundanting, but I actually didn't bring my paper journal because I usually do when I travel and don't write in it, and I do have my little notebook for ideas and scraps and fragments, but that's less personal journaling. Besides, I type faster. And the more I type, the faster I type. It's a great ride when I can board it. Don't worry, I probably won't be near a computer for the next 36 hours so you'll get a break.

I finished my chapter, I wrote the entire thing today, and there's more details to add when I revise late, but I pulled a lot from a memory I forgot I had, about riding a greyhound bus in the woods of new england, and my wrists are sore, because I'm typing like crazy on a laptop, and I realized while sitting on MelRo's bed, on the sunshine yellow sheets I used to sleep on, that I was having a flashback to NaNoWriMo when I would come home from work and use her laptop to type frantically on my book, and then I checked my school e-mail and a couple friends are plotting their own NaNoWriMo from May 15th to June 15th, to get a head start on our last semester, and I'm thinking since I wrote 2,000 words today, that I'll start today, and try to write 1500 words a day, at least until May 20, hopefully beyond, keeping up with them after that . It didn't even occur to me until just now that, wait, I was JUST thinking about NaNoWriMo 'out of the blue' and then there it was and sometimes I'm so psychic I don't even notice anymore.

I like being in this time zone, because I have two more hours. My laptop clock says 3 o'clock, which is about right for me, after having a productive morning and early afternoon, I get wiped by mid-afternoon, but here, it's about lunch time, so I will snack and shower and pack my overnight bag and grab my book and take a nice long walk before meeting up with brothernumber3 in the Castro. I'm looking forward to my time with him and kneidlach this evening, for lots of reasons. I'm also glad that I'm currently feeling high off of productivity and writing, so I can hopefully be more present and in a good mood. Because the writing I got done today passes the absolute minimum goal I set for myself for this weekend, and I even managed to enjoy myself part of the time while doing it, though being inside the head of a character coming off a speed trip and bolting from their life via bus isn't exactly the most relaxing piece of writing, but in some ways, putting all of the anxiety into words describing someone else's life makes my actual waking walking life a lot more chill. Maybe now I can write poems about bunnies and clouds.

Oh wait....
