Nano Diary Day 1: Gravity is my remorseless nemesis
Useful* word count before beginning: 11, 781
After a quick midnight type and before an evening's work: 12,197 (and about 200 more that were deleted and rewritten)
Complicating factors for the evening's work: evil bicycle toe strap caught my foot on my pedal when I was putting my foot down coming to a stop at a roundabout and I came off. I currently possess the mother of all elbow bruises! But I did keep everything tucked in neatly so it's minimal damage. Save to my ego.
On the upside, three fellow cyclists and some nice workers from the building site on the corner all leapt to help. No need for help, mostly just embarrassed! Off to he bike shop tomorrow for new toe straps, or maybe some clips. Or maybe I should just bite the bullet and go back to cleats and keep a pair of comfy shoes at work … Mildly tempted to buy some mountain biking body armour for my right elbow, which has been taking the brunt of things this year. I had even told myself on the ride in that it was time to replace that toe strap, due to developing evil. One day I will learn to listen to myself in a timely fashion!
* Consecutive stuff, not counting sketched out bits and fragments of later scenes that may or may not survive to the end.

I think knee and elbow pads might be in order for you.

Still, much better fall than the last one! Practise!
(I think elbow pads might not be a ridiculous idea given recent events. My poor right elbow has strata of scars …)
