Over at Teekay’s

…all I need to do is actually write. We all know the feeling when you spend so much time figuring out the ideal set-up that you neglect output. It’s tinkering to avoid producing, I guess. And will the holidays be all that much better time-wise? Don’t think so…

Oh, but wait! I have written a lot over the last few weeks! I’d say an average of 500 words a day, not counting e-mail. (That wouldn’t be fair — email is also often a procrastination technique.) Let’s see: 1,600 words on a client report yesterday and the day before; two 1,800-word editorials last weekend and the one before; maybe 200 revised on my dissertation proposal; and lots of smaller things here and there.

Maybe I haven’t been that bad after all.
