Inspired by Kiwi, I put in a solid 4500 words today. Phew!
Well done! I may be biased but I think that qualifies as an excellent day's work!

Keep writing. I was feeling exactly like this a little while ago - I knew where I wanted to get to, but wasn't totally clear how I was going to do it. I wrote a scene that kept bugging me - everything in it was fine but I just kept thinking about it. In the end I decided to give the scene the opposite ending and now the story has gone it a totally different direction but is SOOOO much better than it would have been. Plus I don't have to think about what is going to happen next, it all kind of just flows. I don't think I would have got to the same place though if I didn't keep on writing - just thinking about it doesn't seem to work for me!
I would love to be able to listen to music while I write, but I'm easily distracted - can't even write when the kids are playing (fighting) in another room. I have to remove all distractions, including music (and sometimes kids!)BPhilip said:What do you guys listen to while writing?
