There is very definite value to being in solitude in order to get a jump start on writing: during the past 12 days Katherine has been in China, I have generated over 28,000 words of what will be a 40-45,000 word book.
The physical and emotional wear and tear upon one to generate so much, trying to create sense and humor out of documentation that does anything but make sense and is the antithesis of humor could only be done in my sloppiness and solitude, and tomorrow will be my last 'intense' day, because Katherine returns on Sunday!!!! But do the maths: if the book is going to run 40-45,000 words and I'm going to 'close' tomorrow with approximately 30,000 words, then the pressure is off and 1,000 words a day between Monday and the 24th of January will be a veritable 'piece of cake'!
So pressure-free that I started a new article, today, for Tax Analysts and I will have no problem working on it, daily.......
