Well, I've had some minor setbacks since regaining my momentum somewhat over last weekend. Nothing insurmountable, just my progress hasn't been what I'd hoped.
I tend to focus on one major "project" at a time. For most of the last 18 months, that project has been the book. Others have intruded from time to time and slowed me down. This week, the group novel and the Project Night Night event I've been planning are vying for my attention. But the PNN thing is this evening, so that will be one thing down. The group novel will be the other.
I didn't read the previous chapters of the GN until my turn, so I could take them all in at once and try to come up with a coherent continuation. I read it over Monday night, but needed to let it simmer before I knew what to write.
At long last my ideas for the group novel started to "come to a boil" yesterday and this morning, and I was able to get about a page of notes and a page of narrative down today at work. Not sure how many pages I'm supposed to write overall, I think maybe 3-4 (single spaced)? So I should be able to finish that up tonight or tomorrow at the absolute latest.
Confession time: I've not been nearly as strict with myself on internet usage as I planned to be. It is a little better, but I've still frittered away plenty of potential writing minutes on the web. I blame the "Superheroes" app on Facebook *sheepish grin* and another "project" that is sapping a lot of my resources: braces.
Yep, I'll be getting braces first of next year and I've been doing a lot of research on them of late because of the insurance paperwork I have to get set up ahead of time. I even started a blog to chronicle my progress, since you guys and my friends and family will get sick of hearing about it on my regular blogs otherwise. I needed an outlet - catharsis, you know. *g*
Anyway, back to it since I need to leave work early today. People coming to my house tonight.
