Yeah.  I managed to write a little bit on that story in my third name right after I got off work, but the child has been acting like an animal ever since I picked him up, so I haven’t accomplished anything since then.

Can’t even summon up enough concentration to muse for more than a minute or two at a time.

Planning to see if I can’t get up ahead of him by a little while tomorrow ( without getting up so early that I’m too tired to do anything ) and see if I can’t get some writing done.  He’s often a little slower first thing in the morning, though that only reduces the noise level a little — which seems to be my biggest problem.

Have been mulling over how to start Ch. 18, and what general chapter area I want some things to pop up ( including a crossover with another story of mine that I posted long, long ago )  Also have a nice hook for the beginning of the new version of Ch. 6 of Lowborn.

Really tempted to write the first few paragraphs of the sequel to Blackhawk as well.  I’ve had a lot of that in my head for a long time, but just haven’t written it because I was still trying to figure out the plot after that opening.

Several ideas in my third name, which I’ll probably jump on after the contest entries, whenever I just can’t concentrate on something else.  The nice thing about those stories is that they’re short, and don’t require much long term thinking or intense character development.  I can often whip them out quickly, and get some feedback that makes me smile and gets me back to writing other things.

I’ve been mulling over this idea lately of ancient extraterrestrials and lost civilizations like the Maya.  An archaeology/Sci-Fi crossover as Les Lumens.  The more I think about it, the more I like it.  I like the idea of trying to do what the last Indiana Jones film tried to do, without sucking horribly *laugh*

I may try to write a few more lines before I go to bed, just because I want to keep in the habit of writing every day, and what I finished earlier doesn’t feel as if it’s enough.  I need to get over the frustration of earlier, though.  There are some days when he’s wound up and I’m already a little on edge where it’s difficult to handle.
