Move it
So apparently I'm in one of those phases where I have to leave the house to get any writing done. This is inconvenient, not least because my favorite writing venue is still not back to their pre-Covid hours. However, having been hauled out by the housemate on Sunday and sat down in the bookstore cafe, I turned out a solid page on the new Dix story. And I went back yesterday, and did it again.
There was also a nice hot shower before we went out, the value of which should never be underestimated.
(I've been smashing my head against the wall on this one for a month or more now, and it just would not move. Changing location for myself somehow magically made it possible to throw out the original setting (or rather, set it aside for a more suitable occasion) and start fresh, and all the unknowns that were insurmountable obstacles are suddenly minor look-that-up-later brackets. There is no logical reason for this, but it works.)
This is also an expensive way to write, because if I'm sitting there seeing all the yummy food other people are eating, I'm going to end up buying more than just a coffee. If the thing sells for pro rates I'm not quite going to end up having spent more to produce it than I net, but it's not far off. ;-P
