Still Day 26, still behind -- but a lot less than I was

lizvogelTo be fair, my earlier remark should have been that I'd rather go shovel than spend the morning writing. The book itself still interests me; it's not coming out quite the way I'd intended, but I don't think it's without merit. I just wish I could let it sit and percolate for a few days. It'd probably be better for the book; it'd definitely be better for me.
Getting something done seemed to make for a more effective break than reading or screwing around on the internet. So I wrote 500+ words, then cleaned all my boots and shoveled the little deck, wrote another 500+ words, then shoveled bits of the driveway that needed it (the predicted snowpocalypse turned into a lot of wet slushy stuff already on its way to melting), wrote 800+ words (!), then dealt with some laundry and took a shower, and I just sat down and did another 500+ words. My breaks were inevitably longer than I'd intended, but that happens when I'm not getting anything accomplished, too.
I may try to have another push before bed tonight, but even if I don't, I'm about half as far behind as I was this morning. And I like a lot of what I wrote today, too. Still behind, but it's getting there.
