I buckled down and got a chapter of DGVH2 (secret project) put to bed. Unfortunately, it was really late and I was so spaced out that it felt like I had written a lot more than I had...don't you hate that?
At any rate, it brings me to my point: getting distracted vs. actually getting something written. When you don't "feel it" just about anything is more exciting than writing, including chores you've been putting off for a while. But what happens is that you go from one distraction to the next until you come up against a hard deadline...like eating or sleeping or going to work.
Preaching to the choir here, but I know that I "feel" more like writing when I just sit down and do so. It helps me to have an outline, a boost of caffeine in my system, and some loud music in my ears.
