Writing Journal 27 March 2024: Slow week as I got used to a new place

For me at the moment, long-term plans are a bit of a contradiction in terms.

My son is out of the hospital now and in a physical and cognitive rehab facility in the Des Moines area. I wanted to check up on him through the week, so I decided to stay at his apartment through the week to keep him company.

How long that’s going to last is up in the air. By the time this posts, we may have heard he will be headed home in a few days or a week. Then I might be in another place altogether.

This has not necessarily been good for my writing consistency. It sort of bites, actually:

At this point in my writing development, anything less than 3,000 words a week is an unacceptable week, and anything above 4,000 is minimally acceptable. I think I have a chance to make this month be a bigger turnaround for me as far as productivity goes, but it’s not guaranteed. The (electronic) page awaits.
