Yeah, no.

So it's been two weeks, this is my second post, and how did I go with my writing challenge of 'one sentence a day'?

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLY.

Yep. Not gonna lie. Not gonna make excuses. It was shocking. I think I wrote on two of the days. Maybe about five sentences total. Goddamn. This job I am in currently makes it so hard to commit more time to sitting at a desk to write -  I spend over 9 hours a day at my desk for work, so to come home and do the same, even for five minutes, can be a struggle. Clearly.

One thing I will say though is that it never left my mind. I have been thinking about it this entire time, about where I want to go next and what I want to do. Not as clearly and ready to write down as I might like, but at least I haven't let it slip from my mind completely.

Also, we got our puppy today. So I feel my time, what little I had left after work, is going to be hard fought to dedicate to writing.....though it is my partner's dog, so he's going to wear a lot of the responsibility. I say that, but it will be fair - I hate when things aren't fair!

But there's the update. Life is short, I am still writing, but not at the rate that will see this bloody book finished in the near future (maybe not even this calendar year, if I can't figure out how to light the fire under my butt).

Tune in next fortnight for the next update. Anyone else having these same issues? I'd love to hear if you have any suggestions to help with the procrastination/sitting down issues.
