monday

at least i've started nano now. sheri's editing what we did last year, which is great, and i'm attempting to write new stuff, but not coming up with much. it all feels trite.

i know, i'm supposed to just write and not edit, but i'm having problems with that this year. then again, i just started writing yesterday, so i should probably stop beating myself up. i'm at just about 4k, which is off the mark of 1667 a day, but according to the handy dandy spreadsheet i created last year (of course, this year, the nano site has a similar progress chart and a million other things), i can still finish if i write 2k a day for the rest of the month. which is doable. i don't have a problem doing 2k if i can get my butt in the chair. it's getting my butt in the chair that's the problem.

i'm feeling very scattered this morning. i think i'm still in nano mode, and not work mode. i need the switch to click over that makes me efficent at all things, which has happened in past nanos. then again, after this week, i'm on vacation for two weeks, so maybe if i just drag myself through this week and concentrate on work, i can crank out a couple of 6k days while i'm off.

the efficent switch probably comes when i'm happy with what i'm nano-ing, now that i consider it. since i'm not happy with it, its dragging me down in all things.

;-P
