Writing Pants November 18, 2007
Well, my goal was to be at 30,000 words at this point, but I didn’t quite make it. I’m at 25,152 - which means that I wrote 10,156 words today. That’s 47 manuscript pages, in case you’re wondering. My brain has turned to mush, my fingers are going numb and my rear is very tired of this chair. Whew!
One good tidbit, I now have a title! My new manuscript is called “A Woman in Red.” I’ll have to post about it one of these days and explain the meaning, but I’m too tired to do it justice right now.
I would like to mention my fantastic new writing pants. Some people have riding pants, right? Well, I have writing pants. And they rock. I bought them yesterday at Target in the men’s department. They’re made out of sweatsuit material, have a drawstring waist and the legs are wide and don’t taper down to elastic at the ankles. Super comfy and wonderful! They made it through over 10,000 words on their opening day. A very respectable start to their writing career.
How much do you have to pay for pants that guarantee 10,000 words a day? Because I’ll buy more than one pair. Maybe more than two. Are they only good for the first day? Keep us posted. Maybe you shouldn’t wash them????
Only $19.99+tax!
Oops — I washed them in the final load last night (Sunday is laundry day at our house). Eeek - I hope I didn’t rinse off the magic!!
Hey, I need those pants too! I feel a shopping trip coming on!
Go for it! I tried to find a link on the Target site so I could show everyone what they look like. They’re called “Men’s dorm pants” or something like that… SUPER comfy. Good pockets.
Gawd, “men’s dorm pants” — that pushes it over the top. Gotta have ‘em. Not that I got to wear many men’s dorm pants when I actually lived in a dorm, but I can pretend. And dream. And write down what I dream.
O the magic, it works so quickly.
