I am now 3663 words ahead of my goal. I am happy.
My new writing totem is my cowboy hat. It adds focus when I'm writing, because I know I have my writing hat on.

I am still writing with the screen turned off. I find this is really helpful in curbing my inner-editor, which is currently being looked after in a kennel by the kind people at NaNoWriMo. I am sure it is happy with all the other inner-editors that have been boarded there.

I have found that the best time to write for me is the evening or night time/wee hours. Not so good for when I'm working during the week, but I think I can accommodate my late writing bursts at the weekends.

Off to bed now. The cowboy hat is off.
