I can definitely feel the holiday slowdown sapping away my energy. That's when there are so many exceptions to your normal schedule that there's pretty much no normal schedule left. This week is a great example of that, where today is really my own day to keep to a normal schedule. Tomorrow morning starts normal, and ends up with a flight back home.
In a way, I've made myself a slave to the normal schedule. Lately, my writing has been a weekday activity, with no progress whatsoever on the weekends. Is that a good or a bad thing? You could say I'm losing momentum. Or, you could say I'm recharging for the next week. So long as I stick to my schedule, I don't think it matters.
But of course, that's in a week with a normal schedule.
For the next week, I need to figure out a way to make writing part of the exception. That means making an effort to write when I don't feel like it, working the activity into the day in an unaccustomed place. Because if I go a whole week without making progress, I really will lose momentum. I've been down that road before, and it leads to October 1st, 2011, with me swearing that I'm really going to finish this time, honest I am.
