I'm a bit behind on the words but even more behind on the walkathon. I hadn't walked in a week and went for a mere 1.5 miles yesterday. I'm hoping to get in a longer walk today. I'm starting to think a treadmill might be a good investment, or at least the gym down the street. The weather is what really keeps me from walking more. Rain, cold, etc. I've also developed a repetitive stress injury from the writing. Last time I got one was preparing for my trip to NMC! So I may skip the walk and go get a massage to help with that. Enjoy Qatar and good luck with the writing! Heh, I know how you feel. I’m a bit behind on the words but even more behind on the walkathon.

Just when you think you’ve done a good run,.... sets you in a head down grunt up hill." I could understand that struggle. I like writing, so much that I didn't stop it nearly every day, in creating new posts... "My novel is mostly charted out in structure, but I’m still feeling vague of sharing a lot of detail to I can at least get the next quarter done. I will say it is not about dogs, not about technology, not really too connected to anything I write here (well there is some bicycle elements to the story– and the germ for it was started by thoughts about 10 years ago when I biked to work)." You have already started it, and I still haven't even laid my fingers on the stories that I dreamed to write yet! May be when you publish your stories, I really want to learn it, so I could write the next episode. :-) “I’m not saying I Hate Writing, but it is damn hard, especially when there is little time to be un-inpsired.
