Today is one of those days. It’s overcast and rainy (drizzling only). For San Diego, that’s a major weather event. Lack of sun is an odd thing here. It’s also a motivation killer. Makes me want to curl up on the couch and take a nap. Since I’ve only been up for about two hours, and since I have a great deal of writing to do, the nap thing isn’t going to happen. So, I must resort to my get-off-the-couch-and-back-to-writing plan. This includes running to Starbucks for a caffeine drink loaded with enough non-caffeine (ie all sugar) stuff to make it taste like something other than coffee, setting aside time to lounge on the couch and/or play online and forcing those fingers to the keyboard at the end of the lounging time - otherwise known as the drop-dead deadline time. Today the drop-dead deadline time is 10:30am.

I can’t be alone in this, right? Other folks do the whole thing where they make a deal with themselves that includes a bit of slack now in exchange for lots of work later…right? I’d just like to think that I’m not the only one who has to engage in internal warfare before I can get started writing some days.
