Nothing
Today the headache was strong and the body was weak. And because I have to work at an hour early in the morning I will reserve the writing for tomorrow. Unfortunately, today is defeat. Though I did jot down a few ideas for improving my current work. So I'll take it as a penny in the jar...

Two
Despite how little I did today my word quota was fulfilled. Managed to doodle out another thousand words to a previous work, which feels pretty good. Though they may be empty words at least it's progression.
Overall though my day revolved around the desire to be destructive. And when I say destructive I'd put it like this, folding my lovely laptop close and then smashing it into my forehead until I bleed out the bad ideas and the good are left to settle to the surface.
This is why I don't necessarily enjoy having a wide variety of ideas to write about. All it seems to lead to is jumping from impulse to impulse. And such a trait is what unfortunately defines this Timothy. Though I've been curving these wandering thoughts better than ever, as if I've hired a shepherd or some sort of systematic construction to sort out what goes where and when, along with some surprising prioritization.
I know...I've definitely conflicted with myself in that simple paragraph.
You see!
The sporadic mind strikes again!

Day One Success
So on the first day of the New Year I subconsciously hit a decent beginning to my 2014. Although having the day off of work was a help as well. So, without even trying, I hit 1,000 words on the dot for the day's worth of writing.
I returned to a prior book and spruced up the beginning upon recommendation of my reader. The story still has bits and pieces to smooth out and two more beta readers to hear from, but hey! It's progress.
Meanwhile I'm continually struggling with the decision of which story to take up next. Initially one of my thirty-nine goals is to stick with one book and see it through to the end; but as always, it's proving to be a hard bud to snip.
So in response I'm going to let tomorrow worry about itself like a true procrastinator.
Peace out, peps!
