Poptarts and mosquitoes (a day camping)

We went camping Friday night. Friday night only, because my MIL didn't want to spend two nights away from any form of bathing whatsoever (no lake, stream, river, or showers), and frankly neither did we.

Nate and I slept in the back of the minivan, which fixed my back, surprisingly. (And wrecked his. We can't win.) Also -- sex in the back of a car, crossed off bucket list.

Anyway. I played around more with Scriv while camping (if I set my monitor to be dimmer I can get about 10 hours of battery out of my MacBook Pro, which was more than enough time), and yeah, it's official, I fucking love this program. I also reread the last part of my book, and I still think it's really good. A good sign, that I enjoy it when not in the heat of writing it the first time. So actual editing is coming up soon (especially as I finally got a real divination system figured out for that one chapter, instead of the crap placeholder I had before).

Today I go home. I'm back on Saturday, so the parting is not that bittersweet. Might do our backs some good to sleep alone for a few days, honestly. We'll have to figure out what to do about this before moving in together.

Things to do:

  •  finish memorizing lines.
  • practice slides for Langara audition; find monologue.
  • clean house.
  • new book publishing project. 
  • revise part 1 of Bellica.
