So this is what July looks like. For the most part, I'm not impressed, although I'll admit it's a hell of a lot better than the last July we had. Or even the one before that. Still, for a July to impress me it'll have to be a lot more dreary than this - cool, rainy, cloudy. This July is, of course, none of those things, and it doesn't look like it ever will be.

So this is my current state, I am thinking about what to do next and indeed what to do now with myself. I have given up on catching up with writing, have stopped punishing myself for getting behind, and now I need to concentrate on moving forward so that I can get some momentum going. Because without momentum is stagnation, and that is the enemy of all progress, positive or neutral or otherwise.

I had a nap this afternoon. I'm one of those people for whom naps work really well. I feel rested and energized and ready to deal with just about anything. Like writing. Right now, in fact.
