Go Slow

After making a blistering start to my book, I hit a wall over the last two weeks with almost no progress. Lots of reasons why but frustrating all the same. We had two pitches at work with all the aggro that comes from those - working weekends, late nights till 10, 11, even 1am. I also caught a cold to make it easier and ran a half-marathon woefully under-trained and coughing my lungs up from said cold. So I was mentally and physically tired and 'being creative' was the last thing I was  capable of.

I started again this morning, after the first decent night's sleep that I'd had in two weeks. Up at 5am, in the dark, with a cup of tea, and headed off to meet my heroes on the Great Plains. Luckily enough they were still waiting for me. I've got lots to do if December 1st is still doable but I won't cry if it's not. Quality gets remembered. not speed.
