Notes:

So, yeah. Two things happened. First, on day 13, when reported my word-count, unbeknownst to me, I mistyped and it was 712 new words not 1712. So I should have typed 27386 instead of 28386. So I gave myself 1000 more words than I actually typed. Then, after that, I had horrible reflux, and got very little sleep, but still had to go to work. I wrote a lot of words during lunch and put in my count. To my surprise, the site now claimed I had a net -221 word total for the day. So I had to climb out of that deficit. The real number of words for yesterday was 1143, but because I gave myself 1000 more the night before . . . (I use the word ‘so’ a lot, don’t I?)
In addition, I actually fell asleep in my chair last night and slept from 9:45 until after midnight. I was so tired, I didn’t even bother typing this post until the next morning, when I back-dated it so it would show up on the right day. I wrote about what magic is not. I’m restricting my magic from being able to predict the future, tell whether a person is telling the absolute Truth (as opposed to the truth, which would merely tell whether they believe they are lying), or being able to heal instantly. I also wrote about psychometry.
Didn’t have to look up anything at all.
