I have done some good work today!
I did an hour, took an hour off, did an hour and will do some more and then slope off again for a bit. I can hear my family outside and I want to be there too!
I have managed to sort out the melee that was my chapter and have a semblence of order to it. I have been ruthlessly avoiding proper editing; I have got the right text in vaguely the right place but not edited it or sorted the sentences so they are neatly conjoined and sensible. This I can do after the holiday, for now I am all about adding text and making the chapter structurally tolerable :)
Am so glad I worked today, even though I am feeling a bit rough. (Feeling a bit under the weather as the day goes on, better not have got Bean's skanky cold!) I really didn't want to work earlier and when I thought about why I realised it was because I didn't really know what was going on with the chapter. It was a big confusing mess and I did not like it! Which made me realise i need to work on it more than ever then; I don't think there is a better reason to have to work than when you don't know what is going on with it. Sometimes chapters just are like big knots that need untangling and I HATE this! Am not patient with it at all, I just want to get on with it.
Anyway, I have sorted it and gradually the chapter is starting to make sense to me again. Thank goodness, I can watch X-factor and eat my chinese leftovers in peace :)
And I have inadvertently written another 500 words. Hurrah.
