Well, I'm Writing

amberfocusI took about a week off from writing because basically I wasn't doing anything other than banging my head against the wall. I found a prompt that really grabbed me from the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
then_theres_us ficathon, which is harder than it sounds. There's a few hundred prompts there and only one jumped me viciously, though I did have one that went kinda sorta maybe that I'll look at again when I finish this one. I woke up at five this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. That's not quite as bad as it sounds as I fell asleep before midnight for a change. It's the first day of school today so I didn't even try very long to get back to sleep. Instead I opened up a word document, looked at my prompt again and started to write. I think it's going to be too long to be comment fic. It almost is already and I'm just getting into it.
I'll write on it some more after I get my second kiddo off to school. I'll take him in about ten minutes. Then I'll write until it's time for my dentist appointment at 11:00. Hopefully I can finish it today and maybe work on LoF, although that's probably too much to ask. I feel in a much better place with writing, though. Maybe I'll never get back the ability to churn out 2000 words a day, but a couple short fics or chapters a week would be nice.
I started swimming again on Monday. I did 15 laps. 13 is 1/4 of a mile. It's nowhere near the 45 I was up to before I got hurt again, but it's a start and I can't push myself too hard. It's not even been two months since the surgery yet. I am going to try to swim every other day, but we'll have to see. My body felt better afterwards. Swimming really helps to loosen up the back.
I started a new diet this morning, too. So far so good and no food cravings. We'll see where I am at the end of the day.
