Day Two

Pandora is up and running with a station based on Blackmore's Night and the tea is brewing.  It is time to settle in for another morning of work.  It really that cliche love/hate relationship for me; more of a codependency.  At any rate, I feel good and I am ready to get at it.

The plan:

• Warm-up free-write for ten minutes.
• Spend twenty minutes or so reviewing yesterday's writing and making notes.
• Write for two hours.
• Take a forty-five minute lunch break
• Free-write for ten minutes
• Write for two hours. 
• Cool-down free-write for ten minutes.  

The two hour blocks are a little bit flexible, it depends where I am after the first two hours.  The important thing is that I write for four hours this session.

The reality:

• Not every free-write goes as well as the ones before.  I had difficulty delving deep into those autonomous finger movements today.  Everything was rather superficial.  It is okay though right?  
• Well...I did get my two hours of writing it, but when I took my lunch break that's when things went kinda south.  My 45 minute lunch turned into a lunch then nap, then long nap which my husband woke me up from when he got home.    

This hasn't been the most productive day that I have ever had, but there has been some forward progress made at least.  I have made less progress in two days then I used to make in one.  After writing for two hours I feel wiped and brain dead.  I hope that it is only because I am reintroducing my brain to working and that eventually I will get my stamina back.  I'll be back tomorrow.
