Down days
Distractions.
I suppose I ought to be glad for them since they involve other audio projects, but the results are the same: Nothing much has been written her for three days. I'm in the middle of Ep3 but have had to focus on and IBRT project in studio. We're recording today, and the show is scheduled to air in two weeks. I'v never turned around a studio show so fast, and it probably means focusing almost everything on it for the next week. That means little time for Shadowland. I might set a goal of only page a day, that usually spurs me own to three or four. As in all things, I think the key is to keep going, to ignore the voices telling me I've done a lot already, take a break.
The important thing, at this point, is to write.

I break from a comparative reading of three different "Beowulf" translations to commiserate. As I am astonished at how vast a landscape a poet can evoke within a line's "scanty plot of ground," so I am amazed at the amount of nuttin' I can shoehorn into what was supposed to have been a day of scholarly productivity.
Distractions abound. Happily, they are all good distractions. One of them stands about 5'7" and looks pretty good in her apron as she whips up a rhubarb pie. Some grad school friends are coming soon for an evening of Trivial Pursuit, pie, ice cream, and probably some rather incongruous adult libations.
A good conclusion to even the most distracted of days. All the same, I'd be hard pressed to say that I'd not trade it in for a night of "Adult Swim" and coffee with certain old friends.
Keep fighting the good fight.
Can't wait to enjoy the fruits of your labors.
