It was very exciting yesterday when I made it past the hinge: I have written more pages than I have left to write. Yay!

We're having some lovely, cool autumn weather here (read: 60s and 70s), so I've decided to take a notebook and go out by the pool and write longhand, which is good on many levels. 1) I won't be tempted to play around on the internets. 2) I will get some fresh air and be happy. 3) Writing longhand forces you to really consider the words in a way you don't when you're typing, and it's easy to just backspace and try again.

You know you've had a slow start to your day when by the time you wake up, get some work done, go to the gym, take a shower, and sit down for breakfast, it's after noon.
