How Can Someone With No Particular Job...

be so busy?

I have two main writing projects, and I alternate between them. My serial fiction project, Arvil Bren's Journal (link is over there---->) sort of sets the pace, since it gets an installment published every day. I work on it until I get a good number of installments 'in the bank', and then work on my book until the bank gets low again. Last week I made a mistake.

I made good progress on the book, I still had five days of AB's Journal 'in the bank', and I took a day off to play a computer game that I'd had for about a month without taking time to play. Well, I took a few days off. Okay, I took pretty much the week off. Then I figured out that the last day that I had for AB's Journal wasn't actually written, it was just notes. I have been scrambling ever since.

Trip to Oakland to get Jack, my mom's computer crisis, my usual care and maintenance at my parent's house; just a lot of stuff going on it seems...and I just can't get ahead on this thing. When I had days in the bank I could knock out three or four in a day, this week it has been a battle just to publish on time every day. What is it about playing catch up that makes everything seem to go so slow?
