Monday, November 9: Back to teaching means back to productivity

Apparently.

Last weekend I was on the verge of giving up on NaNo. But I don’t wanna. I didn’t write a single word since Friday and I am really behind.

So I decided to ramp things up a bit.

I woke up at 5.30, did yoga and meditated and wrote before breakfast. Not as much as I wanted and it went kind of slow but at least I tried. I had breakfast, I crocheted, I read, I waited for the rest of the family to get up, I talked with my husband and crocheted some more.

I went running/walking and did pretty well:

It was sunny but cold. There were a lot of people out.

I came back home and helped a little with lunch. Lunch was late but good:

Then I took a short break and wrote for half an hour again.

Taught all the students, wrote emails, ate dinner, hung up laundry, helped with dishes and when I then thought about writing some more I – couldn’t. When you start your day before six it’s hard enough to teach until seven.

So today I’ll try to write 2,000 words or more again. I will also run errands, teach and do the usual.
