Two down, 5 to go…

I am proud, relieved and honestly astonished to report that on Monday, I wrote the first of the seven scenes I’d sworn to write this week (a bad first draft, but still…) and on Tuesday I wrote the second scene (even worse).
Today will be harder to reach the goal, however. Besides my editing a chapter of the Mongoliad (those boys really like to write fight scenes!), and having an editorial meeting with the wonderful folks at Edible Vineyard Magazine, the daily issues of daily life are encroaching and demanding some attention – food shopping, physical therapy, arguing with Quicken Support on the phone, sorting out my new health insurance coverage. I’m also having my parents over for dinner because, you know, it’s good to try to see your parents once in a while, and I’ve been bad about that.

So I have at best 2 hours this afternoon to get some writing done, and I’m learning that I do my best writing in the morning. Before I start thinking about the best way to prepare the Swiss chard for dinner.
