Total for yesterday: 1,594
Comments: Still caught between Scylla (wrists) and Charybdis (story). The story is jumping up and down in my head screaming Write me! No time to waste! Oh my ears and whiskers! The wrists are talking strikes and union rallies. I realize this is hardly an end-of-the-world type problem, but it is intensely frustrating.
My solution for today is to work on my dissertation. There's reading to do, and if I finish that, the typing involved isn't the long, punishing, Dickensian kind of thing that my fiction marathons turn into. And then I'll still be frustrated, but at least I will also have gotten necessary things accomplished.
But it still sucks.
