Wow! Day four!

Now on day four!

Still going. I am glad I decided to use the alarm function on my phone to remind me to do this. Otherwise, I don't think I would be. I would think about it, then forget. Even if I'm watching one of my shows when the alarm goes off, I pause the show, and open OpenOffice and start writing. First for fifteen minutes, then later, at noon, fifteen more. I hope it works out better today than it did yesterday. If I get that ergo-gnomic keyboard, then I might be able to do it in one solid thirty-minute block again.

The show I interrupted is the season three opener for iZombie. I love this show, to me, it is one of the best horror-comedies on the air. And the name of the MC cracks me up. Her name is Olivia Moore. But she goes by Liv. Get it? Liv Moore? She's a zombie. Love it.

Does anyone know if you can change the formatting on OpenOffice to auto-indent and auto-space after hitting the enter key? I know for the blog it doesn't really matter, but if I start working on a story, it will matter.

Seven minutes in and my wrist doesn't hurt as much as it usually does after five minutes. Maybe this is actually helping my hand. One can hope.

My cat, my buddy, Bug, has been quite needy lately. He spends all of his time laying on the table that serves as my desk, or on the table laying on my arms or in my lap. He hasn't been feeling good lately. I hope he gets better.

Wow, I'm getting more typing done to I'm farther along the page than I normally am at this point too. There are still a lot of misspellings and typos, but I am ignoring them, or at least not correcting them.

As I was falling asleep last night, I had more thoughts on that fantasy story I mentioned earlier, and, of course, I can't remember half of what they were. I know that if I had a voice recorder by my bed, and started voicing them, it would just wake me up, so I can't do that. And I can't type it, for a couple of reasons. One, is I would have to get out of bed to put my glasses on, and the other is the same reason about voice recording. Okay, now my hand is really starting to bother me. And I have just over miute left. I'm going to soldier though it though. I can do it for one more minute, right?

What ar some of your biggest blocks for writing, let me know and how you overcome them.

Okay, so I'm starting late, but at least I'm starting, right? Instead of going by the alarm, Im using a kitchen timer app on my phone to time the fifteen minutes.

Bug is still t his station making sure no one bothers me while I write. Hopefully he'll obey himself and not bother me.

I did better the first fifteen minutes, than I did in both sessions yesterday. ...mental note, Mark, ignore typos for now...Mind blank again, maybe splitting the sessions up wasn't such a great idea. I had this same issue yesterday, where I went blank, instead of just typing. Gotta focus.

I know! Ill talk about the one of the MCs in that fantasy idea.

His name is Brianags of the Ironbeard Clan. He's a Dwarf. He Is also 5'9” tall and weighs 210 pound. He is bald and has a great red beard. He is a hunter and his dog changed into a black bear and became his hunter companion. He wears chain mail and leather armor. His main weapon is a crossbow, and his “sidearms” are a pair of axes.

In fact I think I've gotten more written than even the first day, so I guess, mentally at lest, this is getting easier. Still need to work on the physical aspect however...

I think the swelling, which never really went down, may be getting worse. I'm going to have to get to the Garland Parkland, so I can start seeing my doctors again.

Okay... Three and a half minutes left, but I REALLY need to stop because the pain in my wrist is becoming unbearable.

Until tomorrow...
