Refused to even pick up the telephone
I'm running into an interesting problem with NaNoWriMo.

I remember from last year that I would be tense until I sat down and got started writing. It didn't really let up until I had that day's limit. It wasn't any big deal, just not the most pleasant feeling.

This year, I have the same thing going on, but it is threatening to agitate me. And I'm having trouble getting past the tension and getting started. The trouble is, if I don't get started because I'm too agitated to concentrate, I continue being agitated by the tension of not having the writing done.

Honestly. Of all the silly-assed situations to be in.

It's proving to be harder to be disciplined this year than it was last year, and I think it's the increased tension. I know what's causing it -- it's just the extra vulnerability, chemically speaking, from going off of one med and not yet being up to speed on the replacement. I should be fine in a couple of weeks, but the timing, as far as NaNoWriMo is concerned, could be a lot better.

At least I'm continuing with my commitment to working on the Opus as well as the new novel. Right now I'm putting together a "bible" so that I can stop committing the hideous continuity errors I've discovered I made in the manuscript so far.

I may pull the modem card out of my computer and put it in smplmn's custody for the duration of November. That won't keep me off the house computer, of course, but it will encourage me to work when I have the laptop.

Maybe I will go out tomorrow afternoon and spend some time working at the coffee shop.
