Am I the only one out here??

I really do like working midnight shift, mainly because I don't have to see my boss. But, man sometimes you just wish that there were people around. Conversation tends to make the hours go by a little faster. And trust me when I say, some of the people I work with are not gifted in the art of conversation. But also, being as slow as it sometimes, I get a decent amount of down time, when there is nothing else to do, and can get a little done on my WIP.

I was struggling earlier with a couple of scenes (the one I was having trouble with a couple of days ago, and a whole new one) when I first started working on it. I changed a couple of things in the previous scenes and then started working on some new stuff, and finally it is starting to move along again. I got about 5 pages done tonight, in just about an hour, so I figure that was pretty good progress. It took me another hour to get through the mess that was the pervious scenes. It wasn't so much deleting stuff, more like adding a lot, because it was too abrupt for the impact it was supposed to have. I smoothed it out some, but I know it needs more work. And of the 5 pages I wrote, I know I am going to have to take some of it out, because it seems too repetative. But that will be a task for later, once I've walked away and can look at it with fresh eyes.

On my list of to do's today includes Grocery Shopping. I hate grocery shopping. Who am I kidding, I hate shopping, period. I usually end up putting it off until the only thing left in my refrigerator is hot sauce and butter (when I run out of Pepsi, is usually when I break down and go). But, I have decided that I will not put it off this time. I firgure as much time as I spend whining about having to go, I could be there and back with time to spare, so today I am sucking it up.
