So I finished "Farnham's Freehold," which was a very odd book and full of so many twists and turns that you'd swear he had been writing it in installments, and I continued on with "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" by Anita Loos, which I had started at work last week or even longer ago, and I also wrote more on Chapter Eight, which I have been overdue in posting. Only I think "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is not the best thing to read to encourage by writing skills, because it's written as though it were the diary of a dumb blonde girl, and she writes a lot like this entry, only with more misspellings, and a lot more confusions. It is all very entertaining though! (And she's not dumb at all when it comes to manipulating people.)

Otherwise I have had a bath, and gone out for a coffee in hopes of running into someone I'd hoped to say hi to (but he wasn't around) and not done the dishes, but I'll do them right now so that I can let some of Anita Loosness seep out of my brane and then get back to writing Chapter Eight.

I didn't do too badly on my Chapter Eight, today. At the beginning of the day I probably only had 300 words, and now I'm only about 300 short of my mark of 3,000. I could have done better, I'm sure. Tomorrow... possibly working on outlines for potential Heinleinesque stories.
