The Soldiers of Chaos

Um.. whoa, so the last two weeks have been some of the busiest of the summer,but not due to my writing schedule.
Frown.
Sigh.
Feelings of guilt, shame and incompetence boil to the surface as I struggle to keep in mind that this IS a struggle; that I'm doing something I don't normally try to do; that I'm staring down more than one personal demon in this process of writing a novel in one month.
Work.
Pride.
Unexpected guests.
Dishes.
Cooking.
TV.
Facebook.
Distraction.
A broken computer.
Boyfriend needs.
Worry over the future.
Worry over the present.
Worry.

The soldiers of chaos are hard at work on me during this time.

But, on I will go.
I have until July 7th.
I will work diligently to meet my goal by that time.

I have noticed that the words per day increase to some degree when I write about sex. Perhaps I am a pornographer, though I hardly pay attention to such things. I do believe that sex and the feelings that surround it can tell a reader a great deal about a character or a situation. And I am hardly the first writer to broach the subject. Nothing so far is gratuitous and nothing will be, but much to my mother's dismay, my story will contain evidence of a familiarity with natural urges. At this point, whatever it takes to get the goal, right?

Soldiering on.
