Is the Logjam Broken?

I may have broken the months-long logjam this weekend. I'd hate to jinx it by talking about it, but I was finally able to get in three or four hours of uninterrupted writing on Saturday. There was a lot going on in the house, so I don't know how it happened (I usually get frustrated with the constant interruption and just give up). But there was three or four hours of pecking away on the late '40s Underwood typewriter on a short story for a competition.

If I can get this finished and submitted in the next several days, I might have gotten enough momentum built up to get back to the novel in earnest.

I know they say that you have to write whether you feel like it or not if you expect to accomplish anything as a writer. That may, in fact, be true. But it does feel good to just flat-out write. It feels wonderful to find out you're at the end of the page and pop another sheet into the typewriter and after several hours, it feels even better to start typing page numbers with more than one digit!

Wish me luck…
