I haven't been so disciplined with my writing over the past few days. My word count is currently 1,430, and I hope before bed tonight (very soon...) I'll at least hit 2,000.
In my defence it has, so far, been a pretty busy year. My niece (the first of her generation in the family) was born on the 31st, about an hour before the new year, and so my attention has been (quite willingly) directed towards her and my brother and sister-in-law instead of typing, as well as to my dad and stepmum (both are moving to Thailand, with my stepmum flying out yesterday and my dad to follow in several weeks), and my mum (who flew in from the UK yesterday to meet my niece and in preparation for my sister's baby to arrive, which should be in a little under two weeks). All of that, coupled with various shifts at work and some amount of trepidation over related opportunities to pursue my health-focused career in the US, hasn't left me with the greatest amount of energy or time to devote to getting word on page.
I remain hopeful that the rest of this week (today was Tuesday here) will allow me greater literary successes...but we'll see.
