Change of Plans

Sick kids are not conducive to enjoying my day off with my lappy, a little Nickelback, and spiked hot chocolate. It's kinda hard, as you may well know, to think about, let alone write about, getting it on when kids are fighting and crying and needing their butts wiped approximately every 2.3 seconds.

But...I will persevere. Because this is my day off, damn it, and all these stories in my head are not just going to write themselves. Maybe I'll just skip the hot chocolate and go straight for the bottle. Hmm. I might be onto something there...

Anyhow, I'm setting a little goal for myself today despite the noise and distractions: I'm going to write 1000 words, good, bad, or ugly. I'll ETA later with my results.

ETA: Um, I wrote. But not 1000 words. More like 600. I guess it's better than nothing, right?

600 is definitely better than nothing! Keep it up. Every word gets you a bit closer to the finish line. ;)
