Need more caffeinated crack...
Well, okay. The words I wrote on Saturday morning were the only words I wrote all weekend. This does not bode well. I am beginning to suspect that I will not make my 50,000 words by Saturday. I want to make an attempt though, and at least spend some serious time Wednesday through Saturday writing. And I still want to have the first draft finished by the start of winter term in January.
My biggest problem is that I have never established a writing routine in this house. At my mom's, I could sit myself in front of my computer and write for hours. I had a routine, I had a ritual, I had a mental and physical space. I've never really established my space here, which is weird, since it's MY HOUSE! I think I need to clean off my spiffy desk and set myself up over there to write my ass off. I need my ritual back, because camping on the couch with the laptop ain't it, and I can't afford to go to Starbucks every time I want to write.
