Hi, readers!
The weekend was packed. Saw the Rideau Valley Roller Girl travel teams take on those from Tampa Bay Florida on Friday. Ottawa, unfortunately, got crushed but I think they learned a lot. They should be proud anyway. When you're ranked 60 and you go up against a team that is ranked 17... Well, you have to have some gumption to even try that. Tampa had many phenomenally skilled skaters. Seriously, some of their jammers looked like ballerinas because they were tiny and extremely light on their feet. Perhaps we'll see the Vixens catch up in the future. Watching Roller Derby on a Friday messed with my brain as it's usually on a Saturday. When I realized I still had tons of weekend left, well that felt pretty awesome.
Saturday had me at Prose in the Park. The weather was excellent. I should have drunk more water as I felt a little awful at the end of the day after running around in the heat all day. I bought three books. Two are award winning and I'm looking forward to seeing how an award-winning book differs from the rest of the stuff I read. I capped Saturday off with work on my novel.
Sunday was filled with novel writing and a break for Iaido. Partner practice in Iaido was fun though I didn't really want to be there. It helped with my writing to take the break and get in the right frame of mind for writing battle scenes. It dawned on me while editing that I should change the title and luckily a natural title came to me.
As of this morning, I have two chapters left to edit.They are both of the battles because these are the messiest things to write. I can't really stick to just one character as they all have to come together at some point. If I stick on one character too long, it gives away part of the rest of the battle. I'm going to print these out and cut each sentence out so I can literally move each sentence around. Sounds silly, but I feel this is the only way to work with these two chapters.
Oh, my word count is currently 66, 594.
This start of this week will be finishing the book and submitting it. Then I get to chill and play video games as a reward. Also, clean my place.
Ciao,
R~
