NaNoWriMo 2010, Day 3/30

Yesterday was another good, productive day. But I'm not sure I can say the same about today. Since yesterday afternoon, I've been reading Towers of Midnight, the newest and penultimate book in the Wheel of Time series. It has been quite the distraction, and my writing this morning has suffered for it.

There are two ways to deal with a distraction--ignore it or remove it. This one is kind of hard to ignore, and removing it means finishing the book. I've made a deal with myself, to allow myself to read so long as I do my writing for the day, but it's hard to switch back and forth like that.

I suppose there will always be distractions in life. If this one is more acute than others, well, it won't be forever.
