NaNoWriMo 2010, Day 8/30

I think it's safe to say I'm below target. The road ahead is steep, but perhaps not insurmountable.

Today, I'll be traveling. Airports and airplanes are great for writing in. I'm making sure to copy my work off the external drive, though, because those are not allowed in airplanes. (If you used one, then the terrorists would win.)

Tomorrow and Wednesday might be tough for writing, though. Well, if I can discipline myself adequately, tomorrow won't be too bad. I'm not due to be picked up from the hotel until 8:30, which means that a 5am wakeup will give me plenty of time to write. The time change between Eastern and Atlantic time is inconsequential since we just got off of Daylight Savings Time, and the two should cancel each other out. Wednesday, we have an early, early morning flight, so any writing I do will have to be in the airport or the plane.

I think what I've learned from all of this is that I write better in a routine than I do out of one. I get up, I come to Starbucks, I write. Take me outside of that pattern, though, and I'm likely to avoid writing.

No excuses today, though!
