Perpetual Ruminations

Sunday

Made it. It's getting close but I'm in here before midnight and that's all that counts. I worked today, which is partly why I'm so late getting in here. The other part is I worked on my novel for NaNo for part of the afternoon.

I took a break from writing yesterday, so today I wanted to catch back up to myself. I did, too. I had been doing great up to yesterday. And, even then I thought about writing, but then I remembered an email that I got from the NaNoWriMo site that said to take a break.

They are right, too. It's one thing to write like a tornado, but even if it was my job, I would take  day or two off to relax and get away from it. It's important to keep the creativity flowing. It doesn't matter what it is, or how much a person enjoys it, sooner or later, "Burnout!"

Today, I was tired and sore, but not quite as bad as yesterday. I worked, but did not have to be up at three in the morning, which also helped. It helped in not being so damn tired, and it meant I hadn't been up for twelve hours already when I got started writing.

I wanted to get a good write in, and hopefully finish the chapter I had started. It was at about five hundred words, so I thought if I could get two thousand or more written I would be doing great. I didn't make two thousand, though. No I went right on by and finished the chapter and another. I finished up at around five thousand words for the day. I'm now past the halfway mark and on the down hill slide.

I also have four days off, even though I do have other things I have to do besides write. Even so, I should be able to get a lot of writing in over then next four days.

Well, that's it for today~
