The wins:
- I've been spending time in some lovely places, and really enjoyed myself! Like this cafe in Hufelandstrasse, Prenzlauer Berg. Also, a treehouse in a children's playground, and my writing desk at home (pic below).
- I worked my way through 4 chapters (about a quarter of the novel) - so I now I know I have to allow 300 more hours!
- I kept running, and ran 10K
- I've lost a stone. Only minor bad behaviour with a bag of nuts and a box of chocolates in the final days
The hurdles:
- We haven't had any internet connection at home, or phone line, and so I've become hopelessly disconnected from everyone - apologies
- I've forgotten all the German I learnt before this month started
- Too many espresso macchiatos
Now I know a few more things about the creative process, and can plan the next one better! (Two weeks, then a healthy week, then two more - that's as long as I can last before entering caffeine hyperspace)
