Did I miss a novel writing day?  Yes I did.

But, I did do writing.  I recieved a rush job from a client in Germany who needed an edit on their technical paper - FAST.  He's a repeat client and he pays well.  Let this be a lesson for any writer who wants a writing job outside of novel writing - it drains your creatiivity and makes writing your fiction take an extreme force of will.  Of course, this can be said to be true of  many day jobs;  however, I find that writing day jobs - such as journalism and non-fiction editing - are particularly draining.

At the end of the day I don't really have an excuse.  I was poised to write after my wife, Kat, went to sleep at 10:30 last night, but I didn't.  I had a sudden urge to cuddle with her and went to do so.  My plan was to come back to do writing after a few moments of holding her, but alas, I fell asleep.   I know,  I'm a horrible person for  cuddling with my wife instead of writing on my novel.

However, it is 5:30 AM and I am going to a cafe before I do my non-fiction writing that I have to do today.  Likewise, chores are being pushed back and my phone is being turned off.  It's time to - Get Writing!
