dragonlady7can't... focus... any... more... My brain is so fried by now, I find myself staring off into the distance.
The story's progressing well. But slowly. God! Why can't I do this faster? I really thought I'd be farther along by now. Maybe the next bit, the next bit I wrote in the old draft, will be better and I can make faster progress.
I don't think I'll have a draft done in time to send off while I'm in Georgia, however.
A sudden thought strikes me: What if some family member asks if they can read it while I'm there?
*ponders, staring blankly*
Ann read my Vikings novel while it was in its first draft and was quite nice about it, but it's one thing for one's 20-year-old sister to read a novel's inevitable sex scenes, and quite another for one's mother or father to do so.
Hm.
Hm.
I might not bring it with me. Then I could work on fanfiction, which of course they're not going to even want to read.
I won't be working on anything in the car, I don't think-- my laptop has decent battery life, but Z's has none, and he's going to need to do work, so I think I will be letting him use my computer instead. Given that the work he'll be doing is, like, actually due on a date, and the such.
I have had about twenty blogworthy thoughts today, and have actually clicked on the lj client's icon each time, but have told myself no, no procrastinating each time, and now I have forgotten them.
I did want to remind myself why my desktop computer is so awesome, however: I can have two Word documents at legible size open next to one another, which is absolutely the only way I can do any editing at all ever. The cute tiny laptop quite simply isn't big enough for that. How do I live without widescreen??... I don't.
Oh, the nearest groundhog (Dunkirk Dave) said we'd have six more weeks of winter, but then, what do groundhogs even know? We've hardly had a proper winter yet, so it's not bloody surprising.
God I am so unfocused, and have made so little progress. Nugh. No, I am determined to get past the next gap today. Back to work!
