It's always hard to write when I'm starting a new workshop project. I'm running a Code Breakers Club at the Edmonton Public Library, and my focus is way more on making sure the program runs smoothly than concentrating on my novel. I can tell that this is going to be a tough couple of weeks. I'm having a lot of fun with the Code Breakers Club... so much so, that I'm spending way too much time rehearsing the bits and streamlining the puzzles and too little time on my book.
When I was younger, I could multi-task and work 17 hour days. Now, I'm ready to call it a day around 5:00 pm every day; even sooner if I have a workshop that day. I think I have to adjust my writing schedule. Time to review my most creative time of the day. If I'm going to answer honestly... right now, it is no time of the day. Maybe it's summer. Maybe it's the fact that I have so much to do. Or maybe it's just Facebook! Curse you, Facebook and all your time-wasting status updates and word games!!!!
I'm off to another workshop this afternoon. I'm going to force myself to eke out 3,000 words when I get back and see if I can get back into some kind of real writing rhythm.
