Slow Going

It's going to take awhile to get to the end of this draft at the rate I am currently traveling. In the past two days I've written just over 1K total. Yesterday I had excuses--nay, REASONS, even--but today I'm just dog tired from not sleeping well last night and the word *focus* has little meaning. I've been trying to do a few non-writing things to stay awake while waiting for the end of the day, but with marginal success. It's even been fairly quiet at work today, likely due to our area having its first spate of hot summer weather since August. I'm sure folks are thinking of other things to do with their time. Not to worry, we have enough flooring contracts to see us through until the weather turns cool again.
