Fight scenes & Actifit
The photo was of a friendly magpie I encountered this week. Not a swooper. ❤️
On fitness...
Still struggling to run much over 10km, so I broke it into 2 sessions. That’s 11km in the morning and another 10km before dinner. I gave myself the goal of 50k of steps each week I’m attempting NanoWrimo, so I decided to just get that goal done today. I’m not confident I’ll run tomorrow.
I was surprised that actifit didn’t actually captured steps unless I opened it up at least once on a given day. You’ll see from my screenshot later that I had a couple of days when I didn’t pay attention to step count. I was busy at work, but I would have moved!
Week 1 total: 51,982 actifit steps
On writing...
Nanowrimo word count so far: Approx.2000 words.
Hmmm, I think I’m doing better on running than writing. After I finalise this post, I’ll get back to the writing.
The issue I’m having is that I’m writing (yet) another fighting scene—I keep asking myself, where is the love in this romance novel?! Anyway, I was wondering if it’s too cruel to kill a giant serpent that plans to swallow them...Then I got distracted researching about snakes and their sensory system. I’m thinking I can’t be so squeamish about killing things. Still, I’m bothered by it and obviously overthinking stuff. Fight scenes are difficult to write too. You need to be descriptive without getting tedious with a blow by blow report of every strike. But I get hung up by stuff like which way does something fall. If he tosses the spear—does he even know how to use the spear—will she get hit in the crossfire, etc etc.

#NovMadFan Bruni thinks he might want to read your nano when it's finished, I like snakes and fight scenes. 👍👍
Hey, Bruni! Very rude of me to have missed your comment. If I ever get it published, of course I’d love you to read. :)
Not to worry, just keep on writing. 👍
Gotta keep at it youll get there 💪 And Amazing photo! perfectly captured!
Hey veteranforcrypto, have you considered @actifit? You should give it a go. Thanks for the visit. I chased him along the fence, but he was mostly cooperative for the photo shoot. :)
I love the black and white photo, magpies are beautiful birds and can be over protective at times.
well done with your actifit.
I do love giving my pics the black and white treatment. Looking forward to upgrading to some lens though. My iPhone is limited.
Very cool you split your post into 3 parts and always book one for the kids, by the way, yesterday I also wrote about children. I said I only have 1 small daughter, but I always have 2 more boys, my girlfriend's children. They are practically brothers.
I gave a good improvement in my texts and I began to imitate you, putting a title before "My Actifit Report ..." It has a positive effect and I have been receiving votes for a very good curation.
Wow, you never wrote me again, you're out of time, or did I say some bullshit? I may have written something wrong, because sometimes I also use google translator.
Oh crap, Pedro, you read the garbly version. I did a cut’n’paste error. It was meant to be just 2 sections. I decided to cut the commentary on kids out this time. :)
I’m glad you’re doing so well in your Actifit endeavours. I’m moody, so don’t mind me. All kinds of ‘bullshit’ triggers me. Lol
Kids are wonderful. As frustrating as they can be, they really do bring so much humor to our lives. My husband and I are constantly sniggering at each other when we listen to their conversations.
Exactly, it is fascinating to watch children play, they are free, full of energy, they never tire of their games, they have a huge imagination, and time passes to them in another dimension.
OMG Linny! Writing a story seems to be very complicated! I never would have the patience to draw all these characters with words. I admire you totally!
Very good on your steps! I see, you can make things happen, whatever it takes!
Thanks for the encouragement, Peter! ❤️ And for actually reading the post content! ❤️❤️
Lol
Wow - well done on the actifit. My app has not been counting either and that is frustrating....
2000 words is a beginning. Maybe just put down the bones for the fight and come back to it after you wrote a little bit of love...
I did write some more, so the fight’s finished, I don’t know if the serpent’s dead, but my Goddess was definitely hit. Started on the lovey bit, but I’m suddenly in the mood for a run...So on with the runners and out the door I shall go!
I really do hope the app isn’t causing you too much grief. It’s been generally well behaved for me. You should ping @mcfarhat if it becomes too troublesome. And while you are at it, could you please remind him my iWatch is still waiting to be integrated...lol
Thanks very much for the encouragement. I’ll try to get the count to a more respectable level when I return to writing later in the day. (I hope)
looool Linny never missing an opportunity.
@mariannewest i think I left you a note a day or two ago. Please chat on discord if you're still facing issues we want to make sure this works perfectly for you
Thank you - I didn't see a note from you and have been on discord. I did just now take off the app and download it again - hoping this will do the trick...
I would also recommend you disable any battery saving on Actifit within your phone settings. Let me know how all of this goes!
I did. I have an iphone and put it on "always available". We shall see. I took off the app and downloaded it again.
