still slow going


it's still slowing going (hence the image of the less-than-energized sunflower) but i did draft a pretty decent version of the service section today. 412 words. not that i'm counting. as much as i hate not working in an orderly top-down fashion, and as much as i hate not finishing up with whatever i've started the previous day (i.e., in this case, the research section), i am hoping that working out of order, skipping back and forth from section to section if need be, will, at least in this case, help me pick up the pace a bit. there's nothing worse than starting an a.m. work session by opening a file with, say, 285 words in it and finding that you are left with a file containing 230 words by the end of that same work session. especially when you've not yet gone into revising/tweaking/rearranging mode.
