Coffee with eggnog: still delicious!

I have already written 562 words today. For those of you keeping track, that's 134,254 words so far this year.

More importantly, I have finally cracked the problem of the Cthulhu Christmas story. It's only about 20% finished, but I know exactly how it progresses, what its twists and turns are, and how it ends. I don't need to keep working on all four drafts, I have one that will work, solidly, splendidly, and pretty terrifyingly.

I have watched The Phantom of the Opera three times in the last sixteen hours, and let me tell you it is a marvelous tool for inspiring a proper sense of drama, if that's the sort of mood you need in order to write.

I also created a second Twitter account so I could try some different storylines in Echo Bazaar, and I have already exhausted all my turns for the day in both accounts.

Maybe I should ask for some Fate for Christmas?

How are all of you today? My weekend is looking up.
