15 Minutes

Tonight was one of those nights when the last thing I wanted to do was go sit at my computer and write. We had a weekend (starting on Thursday) full of guests and travel, and I just wanted to go to bed.

I turned to emergency procedures. I went to bed with my computer and told myself I only had to write 15 minutes. Someone (maybe more than one someone) said that writing at least 15 minutes every day will at least keep the project fresh in your mind and probably lead to writing more than 15 minutes anyway.

Here I am in bed with my computer. My husband sleeps next to me with his back to the light my screen is producing. I wrote a little more than 15 minutes. I blogged. I won.
