Everything was chugging along just fine and I almost missed a day of writing my daily post here, but I slipped in just before it had to go live and threw together a post explaining my last minute post.
But those sparks must have been the foreboding of the imminent derailment which has now left me not writing for some four days.
Momentum is a bizarre thing. It’s hard to get momentum up to speed, but once you're at top speed, it’s pretty easy to keep pounding away. It’s very easy to take your eye off the task at hand and lose that momentum, though. Then you have to get to work hard building momentum again.
If you don’t work to build that momentum again, it’s only harder and harder to get going back up to speed.
So I’m cutting the head off the snake before he grows too much larger. Four missed days of writing are enough and it’s hard even banging out these few words today. But I’ve done it and I’m getting back up to speed.
