Today I was a good boy, and went back to my main work in
progress, hitting 3,402 words. I have noticed one thing about my progress
though – I’m getting slower as the challenge goes on. A few months ago I was
hitting 3,000+ words before 10am, and even in June I was usually finishing by
lunchtime. For the last few weeks, the boot has been well and truly elsewhere,
and today I finished at about two thirty. The writing still seems to be coming
easily to me, it’s not because I’m getting bored with the plot, or because I’m
approaching a block, I’m simply slowing down.
Obviously Marion’s poor health from the fall last week hasn’t
helped, keeping my mind busy and necessitating rather more interruptions than I
was having to deal with in, say, April, and that may well be having an impact.
Of course, the fact I was often getting up very early to write, something I’m
not now doing had an effect too.
Overall though I cannot escape the inevitable conclusion –
the waters of this challenge are getting thicker and harder to swim through.
