Quick update

[estepheia]

The weekend was good. I wrote 3000 words; re-watched The 13th Warrior and The Vikings (research); watched the latest Veronica Mars and House (fun); had a visit from a friend who's also a writer and who always gives me pep talks. Hubby and the kids were away on a weekend chess tournament. Both girls came home with a cup for best girl in their age group. Whoohoo. I love it when they come home happy and triumphant.
This morning I wrote 600 words in a white heat, but then RL cropped up again. Le sigh. In the afternoon I went to see HP4. I guess it's unspoilery if I say that I enjoyed it a lot. (Maybe I'll write a more detailed post tomorrow.) While checking up on some of the actors on IMDB I discovered that the new Doktor Who is in HP4. What a surprise - to me anyway. Which led me to search the net for info on doctor #10. The bad news is: Captain Jack won't be in S2 apparently, the good news is he will be in S3. I also downloaded a very short special that must have aired a few days ago. If you are fans of the Doktor and haven't seen it, go grab it. I hope Captain Jack's spin-off show takes off soonish. :-)
Anyway, I managed to write another 300 words tonight, so my nano light is still going strong. In fact, the characters' backstories are becoming clearer and clearer. Meaning I'm not too unhappy with what I'm churning out. Yay! Current word count: 22.960.

In Germany or in the UK?
I missed it - where do I find it?

Congrats. to your daughters - do they have different competitions for girls and boys in chess?

Last I heard, it was meant to air after the next season of Doctor Who finishes, so that means it would start some time in late June or early July of 2006.
