I have discovered the secret to getting everything done that I want to when it's the day after capoeira and my legs don't work properly; switch Arabic and exercise. Exercise in the evening after I've walked out a lot of the stiffness, do Arabic in the morning when all I'm good for is sitting in one place or possibly pacing around repeating after the tape/sound file. It's brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT I tell you! Genius I say!
Also the universe does not want me to eat crap, apparently, while last night I comforted myself with sushi, today I did not get donuts because when the boy stopped by on his way home from work there was a line of cars out into the street. And no. Fortunately I defied it by getting a small pack of Twizzlers while I got my antibac because apparently neither work nor home has non'expired antibacterial goop. And I can see the dermis on my finger.
I keep worrying about whether or not I can do a full novel for Camp Nano, and then I keep typing and looking up and going 'oh, I just wrote 2500 words' and, hey, you know, maybe I can. I wouldn't do it every month of the year, plus that would leave no time for editing as I failed to take into account when I was young and silly and all I CAN WRITE 300,000 WORDS IN A MONTH I CAN WRITE 12 BOOKS A YEAR IT'LL BE GREAT. No. No, not going to happen. But three novel drafts a year, yeah, okay. That I can do. Anyway. Maybe I shouldn't worry. Even with capoeira I seem to be doing well enough. Although my god I've been sleeping more lately. It's weird when I'm used to getting very close to 5.30-6 hours of sleep a night.
And all that said, I've started and worked on incorporating capoeira into my schedule and it's fitting pretty well, I've established that I can at least so far continue to write the Nanonovel, there is, I suppose, no reason I shouldn't get started or get back to White Lightning and bash it into shape. I've redone the outline scene by scene, I can adjust as I run into scenes I forgot to note down in the outline, I've got all the beats and progressions. I think at this point I've written and started and rewritten this so much I'm just scared it's never going to be decent. That's a bad place to stay. Let's move on.
