Update Stuff And All That.

I managed to write 1175 words last night, the best writing session I've had in months. It was all long-hand, so today I had to type it in, but that seems like a small price to pay for a good writing day. I may do some more long-hand writing, at least during the first draft. I don't know why, but I feel less pressure when I work with pen and paper.

Still not working on the novel rewrite, because I still can't seem to string together two days off in a row. I can do first draft stuff and short fiction work in various nooks and crannies of stolen time, but I need some uninterrupted space to work on the novel.

I was supposed to work on the novel over the long weekend, but things (mostly fun things!) kept me distracted, not the least of which was finishing my application for the Minnesota Arts Board Individual Artist Initiative Grant.

I had a migraine yesterday, so I have to make up my hours on Thursday. Friday and Saturday are booked, and I'd like to spend time with my wife on Sunday. Monday it's back to the puppets.

I've been suffering from insomnia again. I need to get on a set schedule and keep to it. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to be forced to take a couple of weeks off work so I can finish my damned novel rewrites.
