Ahhhh, a fellow crowd-phobic! *hugs from a distance* One of the hardest things about living in Japan is that there is NO ESCAPE from crowds once you leave your home...
I started a new thing where I track my writing time. Say I start typing at 10:00 and stop at 10:15, how many words do I get? Right now I'm averaging around 30 words per minute but I had one 10 minute sprint where I got about 45 wpm. I knew my writing time was fragmented but I didn't realize I was putting those words out in less than 25 minute chunks (one was only 3 minutes!) spread out throughout the day.
Wow, I confess I am very impressed by a 45 wpm rate! I'm thrilled if I can get to 20 or so. My teen guest has stymied me by trying really hard to conquer usual teen sleeping habits and is getting up early in the morning, when I was hoping to have writing time--but I can't begrudge her the fact that she's working really hard to match our sleeping habits! Well, I keep going over ideas in my head so once I have the chance to sit down and type maybe they'll form up faster--but I'd found there's a vanishing point where I really can't plan until I actually have my hands on the keyboard, you know? That level of concreteness isn't something I can manage just in my head...
I was really happy to see Child of Spring up! Thank you for giving me a sneak preview! :D
