I’m afraid the no writing in the morning or at mid day trend continued today. The snow keeps falling and the people on the roads keep driving poorly so I have to (a) shovel every morning and (b) leave extra early so I can actually make it to work on time. My evening output wasn’t terribly stellar either but for a very good reason. My daughter took me out to see Harry Potter 7pt1 for my Christmas present. I know very well that the two part way they are presenting it is a cash grab and unfortunately the emotions in the movie are a little flat for me, but I still enjoyed the night out.

The snow continues to fall (I think we are up to or very close to twelve inches or twenty-six centimetres of snow in the last three days) and people continue to get worse in their driving. As an example, the first day took me forty minutes to drive to work (it usually takes me twenty minutes). Day two was a forty-five minute drive and today was an hour. You might argue that the driving times are worse because of the extra snow but the road crews have been doing a yeoman’s job keeping the streets clear of snow. Anyway, long story short, I’ve been leaving earlier and earlier which means I […]

Let me lay it all out on the table. I didn’t make my 1,667 words today. I did write some, but not nearly enough. I actually managed to convince myself that I could have a slow day for a change and now I’m shutting down feeling guilty about it. Having said that, I had very good output this morning. I managed almost 450 words before I had to brave the blowing snow and go to work. The roads were no worse than yesterday but the drivers were. What is normally a 20 minute commute was 45 today (yesterday too, unfortunately). Such is life in a northern city, I suppose. I didn’t have any opportunity to write at lunch time so […]
