So I started nano this morning. Okay, this afternoon. Despite taking the day off to write with the best of intentions, I ended up sleeping until eleven. In my defence, at least I woke up eventually, right? Anyway, I started nano, and immediately had a problem. The thing I've been planning on writing has been coming sluggishly and there's this Shiny New Idea banging on my head screaming, "WRITE ME! WRITE ME!"
Meanwhile my reason keeps explaining to me why I really do need to stick to what I was planning all the while the Shiny New Idea runs circles around me howling and throwing glitter in the air.
I feel like this metaphor is getting confused.
Anyway, the point is, I'm thinking about letting myself write the Shiny New Idea as a reward for meeting wordcount goals on the idea that is beginning to feel a lot like work. So we'll see where this goes.
