Found The Art of Travel<\/i>, Sir Francis Galton<\/a>, 1855, a book of advice based on his experiences in southwest Africa<\/a>. I was looking up different kinds of pack\/riding animals (“Now, it is to be noticed that men attach themselves to horses and asses, and in a lesser degree to mules and oxen, but they rarely make friends of camels.”), but was also amused by the figure showing a knot that you must never tie<\/a>.

Goals for the week:<\/b> <\/p>\n

5 days of exercise should have looked at the calendar first<\/i>
1667 words\/day for nanowrimo Ha!<\/i><\/p>\n

Writing Summary:<\/b> <\/p>\n

Nanowrimo total so far: 12,555.
Behind by: 5778
Daily rate needed to finish on time: 1971<\/p>\n

This is going more slowly than the last time I did Nanowrimo (2004), partly because I’m busier at work and have a longer commute, and partly because I’m trying to get the plot to turn out half-decently so I can perhaps not rewrite this book completely from scratch. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this is one of those books where I’ve got Group A in one city and Group B travelling, and the times have to match up perfectly because their actions affect each other, which means I have to work out how long it takes to get from city to city on my world. (Or at least, how long it should take, if the bridge hadn’t been washed out in the spring floods and they weren’t about to get washed down a small cliff by a mudslide, and other indignities to be inflicted later.)<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Sunday:<\/b> not nearly enough (260) on Diplomacy of Mages (nanowrimo book), and some plotting\/background research
Monday:<\/b> 910 words, and more plotting
Tuesday:<\/b> 790 words, more plotting.
Wednesday:<\/b> 690 words
Thursday:<\/b> 1020 words
Friday:<\/b> 2040 words, more plotting
Saturday:<\/b> research, 1200 words<\/p>\n
