Yesterday I spent a lot of time editing and re-editing what I'd written before breakfast, and felt a lot calmer about the whole process.
In the evening I 'treated myself' by typing up one of the conversations I'd made pencilled notes on some weeks ago; one which took place a couple of years after the activities I'd been writing about yesterday, and when I woke this morning it was this conversation I had in my head, and the freshly-revived knowledge of what happened then has stymied* my ability to continue with the chronological 'official' account which I am trying to stick to so as to keep control.
I may have to do things differently, because in an hour I have added just 23 words.
*stymied - I used this without thinking, then thought to check it - apparently it derives from a golfing term and has to do with the necessary negotiating if an opponent's ball is in the way of one's own shot - I live and learn!
