Which line is it anyways?He pushed himself up and ran again.
Researched: No research! Bonus!
Notes: This was an experiment in allotting writing time. I work from home on projects for my day job for a minimum of 4-6 hours a day (and sometimes a lot more). I usually work on that until I hit the benchmarks I need to get those projects done by their due date, and then I switch to writing. My peak productive time for writing is in the afternoon, beginning 1-2 PM and ending around 6 (though I usually stop earlier to make dinner). So this time I experimented with stopping work on the day job project when I entered that peak writing zone, switching to writing until I hit my quota and finished writing out what unreeled there, and then switched back to the day job project, which inspiration and peak times do not really affect. I'll call it a success for writing (look at my wordcount!), even though I ended up not finishing my work stuff until about 9 PM. That last bit kinda sucked. But I did get an hour dinner break in there to relax, so it's not all bad. The experiment shall continue!
Other writingy stuff:
