comments on 763 words

I was writing for a long time last night, and I only got out 763 words.

Let's talk about why that is, mmm?

Wow. You all know a great deal more about me, don't you?

i confess

I have been feeling like I've been heading towards just a little bit crazy. Not literally, at least not yet :). Hanging out by yourself with young kids is hard work, don't let anyone kid you. And I have a hard time living in the town where I live. I feel really suffocated most of the time. Of course, this impacts my writing, and well, everything else. The Latin studying has been incredibly poor lately, just for one example. I have done well just to get my 750 words in.

But Rice and I are headed out of town this weekend, and we're taking Winter with us because he needs to get out, and we told him we'd take him to Children of Men for his Christmas present. The decision happened incredibly suddenly, once the Spots offered to take the kids for the weekend. The next thing I knew I was double checking with Winter to see if he was available, and then calling akanthos to see if he was interested. (I don't see Akanthos enough.)

It will be interesting to see how this weekend away will impact the writing. Will I find the productive levels I had before this low? Will it not help the writing, but will help me feel a little lighter for a while? I don't know, but oh, I am so glad to be getting out of town.
