And that's how fast another month can pass. What was I saying about not forcing habits? I'm beginning to feel like it's time to start. I did not write for a month. I did have a two-week travel period during which I forgave myself any attempts at writing, and last week was just the kind of sputter-start-stop reorientation that happens upon returning. Last evening and this morning I read everything that I have so far, in addition to some insightful writing blogs regarding tracking and drafting/versioning. These things call for a format change to the blog posts, including a new requirement that I must blog before writing. I'm learning that I'm more productive on blogging days for a reason. The April 2015 deadline is no longer feasible because of all of my breaks, and the end of May seems optimistic, but I'm still requiring it. As a gift to myself, I'll buy Scrivener once the book is finished.
