I woke up feeling much better, which allowed me to get a lot more done. I&#8217;ve also made a conscious decision not to do publishing tasks before noon, so that should help to prioritize the writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem before was that when I sit down to work (usually while the baby takes her morning nap), I would procrastinate writing by doing publishing tasks instead. Important stuff that does need to get done, but not as important as writing. The afternoon is Mrs. Vasicek&#8217;s turn to watch the baby, so that&#8217;s when I&#8217;ll do the admin type stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I&#8217;m experimenting with is writing on a tablet instead of the desktop, which is set up in the family room where everyone usually hangs out. There are advantages to that (see Stephen King&#8217;s <em>On Writing<\/em>), but when you need to write your way out of a rut, some privacy and\/or quiet space can be very helpful to get you to focus. Fortunately, I&#8217;ve figured out a way to work with Mrs. Vasicek&#8217;s old Kindle Fire. Cheap, crappy tablet, but it has a basic word processing app that produces TXT files, and that&#8217;s all I need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on here. Should have a couple of days to get back in the saddle and build the writing momentum again. At some point, I need to haul a bunch of yard waste to the dump and help my sister pull her stuff out of a storage unit in Manti, but those aren&#8217;t imminently urgent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Words written: 1,363 Total stories written: 1 Total words written: 7,926 Total words remaining: 22,074 Total words behind: 4658 Decent writing day.
