Another late night...my production has dropped off dramatically. I've all but burned up the lead I generated in the first few days by writing more. This weekend the goal is to get to 20,000 words or better. I think I can get there.

Tonight I concentrated on being a bit more visual, and making sure I was including enough details about the surroundings and the look of the characters.

Next week is going to be an intense one at work, so I need to come up with a strategy that help me to baance writing time with work and family time. The work and family time haven't suffered, but the writing is getting pushed back farther and farther. If I wite when I'm fresher I'll have a much easier time hitting my target word count
