I dog on myself for not writing enough, but I’ve been charting it for a while now and it’s not volume, or even hours logged, it’s where it goes. Here’s a day:

– 200 words at USSM
– got gmail inbox from 3600 unread to <1700 - ...during which I wrote ~500 words of email to friends I'd neglected lately, making myself feel better - Wrote 400 word mini-essay on gmail and usability here on HLWT - more USSM - 1500+ novel words I crank out a couple thousand words on days where I don't make progress on my fiction. Maybe I need to be a little bit kinder to myself.
