Yesterday, was one long beam of continuous work. It never pulsated, making it more hurried or less, but was one constant push forward that was unrelenting. I had a meeting a 1:00 which is my usual lunch time that went until 2:10. By that time, I figured why go to lunch and ate a sandwich at my desk as I pushed on. The skipped time from lunch made it easier for me to close up shop earlier, so I headed out about 3:30. My head was so fuzzy from the all-day grind that the transition from work to home managed to stay blurred. I thought I should have a run but once inside the house I wandered upstairs and started something else.
I wrote three product reviews. It took me until 7:20 pm. I never realized the time had gotten so far away from me. It had been only 4:00 when I started.
It isn't fiction but another way to exercise the writing muscles. I found a reading group, which led to the product reviews, which will probably lead me elsewhere within this internet community. It is much more expansive than I realized. I will be exploring more of it's features with plans to use as much of the experience that is useful. I have my eye on two different contests but I will see how those play out, whether I enter or not, but possibly use the idea's to write another couple of short pieces.
It was a long day yesterday. It felt pretty good.
