Sharing the Office
I just don't get stuff done when I'm at home---mainly because I've got access to the Internet, I think. So today I tried having an "outside office," by which I mean I took the laptop over to the library and had a go with their new cubicle area. It's possible to get the Internet there, of course, but I didn't take my Internet cable for the very reason that I thought I might get more done. And I did! I forced myself to write 2,000 words of a scene in which my heroine allows the hero to ride on her motorcycle with her (that's not a metaphor for anything else). Tomorrow I've really got to finish hashing out a tentative outline and get down to the hard business of producing at least 1,000 words per day, which is harder now that I'm working full time. But 1,000 words, once I get rolling, is less than 30 minutes work. I'm sure I can fit that in. At that pace, I could be finished in two months. If I manage more than that on any evening, or especially on the weekends, I could be done and shipping the thing off before Christmas.
