Well, I did set up a writing spreadsheet on Sunday. I haven't filled any of it out yet as a lovely (not!) cold front blew into San Antonio and has my joints creaking in agony. Needless to say my energy levels are low and I'm barely able to move after sitting for any length of time. But I did figure out a start to my novel- right in the middle of the action. Actually, I'm starting with a line I came up with a few years back: She was slammed into consciousness.
I think that might have been why I was having such trouble getting started over this winter- not enough daylight or heat. I started walking Darcy in the early morning and it's always been dark unless we get up late. I've never really felt affected by a lack of daylight but I was just thinking about that this evening on my walk and I realized that I was really missing sunlight and heat.
Anyway, tomorrow's my Friday work-wise and it's also payday though my money's out the door by Friday. But I am taking $20 and buying a programmable coffee maker. I do not like waiting for a cup of coffee to make and also I can use my bean grinder again. We have a Keurig and I think the damn thing is way overrated- my roommate tried using fresh-ground coffee and it kept exploding. I wasn't willing to waste good ground so I've been without since before Christmas. The Keurig is nice if you want a single cup of coffee but I have a two-cup-a-day habit I will not give up.
So hopefully with the warming weather my energy levels will go up and I'll be able to get my writing show on the road.
