A Story in Pictures : Travel Ahead
Not too long to wait now. Soon I will be traveling to California for a few days off; almost a week. The purpose of the trip, as I've mentioned before, started with seeing Philip Glass' "Einstein on the Beach" in Berkeley. The length of the trip was set, but the details have expanded and changed. Now I will be visiting Bonnie Hearn Hill and her writing group one day, then to Berkeley and "Einstein...", followed by Olympia Dukakis in "Elektra" at A.C.T. in San Francisco the following day, and then a day of rest before. I return home.

NaNoWriMo day 9
.
Today was a long day, with a couple of two hour breaks and a haircut (thank you, Brian!). I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to make the daily average word count. But I did. I used my first break to get lunch and take a nap. Then, following my haircut, I had dinner and wrote - I got in about 1300 words. It all worked out. I then had another half hour "lunch" break at my part-time job and, since I didn't need to eat a second dinner, I - tada - wrote. I squeezed out another 850 words in about 20 minutes (if only I could maintain that pace for longer period of time, with coherence, of course).
My new total word count (yes, I made the daily average) is 16,754.
And here's a little musical/poetry/opera/performance break for all the NaNoWriters out there - or anyone else who wants to just listen for a few minutes. This is from one of my favorite composers, Philip Glass; it's "Knee 5" from Einstein on the Beach.
