salixbabylon1) Writing goes better when you just sit down to do it and don't have anything else to distract you other than your brain. 2000 words/day is difficult but doable.
2) Plotting things out is all well and good but when your characters decide to do things ahead of schedule, and then babble too much, and then unexpected visitors pop up, your plot outline is a thing of humor rather than value. OTOH, the best, most enjoyable writing comes from those moments when I just sit back and let my fingers transcribe what's happening with the characters in my head, barely keeping up.
3) Cicadas are LOUD! Like, buzz-saw all freaking night obnoxiously LOUD.
4) If I can't get a job, I'm damn well going to start acting like I'm vacation instead of keeping myself frantically busy with a home business that's not going anywhere and just depresses the hell out of me. I'm looking for a job yeah, but meanwhile? More writing, more napping, more outside time, more painting and arts and crafts and cooking and reading and and and. More fun.
5) If napping was an Olympic sport, I could win a gold medal.
