Part II (man, I'm prolific):

As for new writing, it hasn't happened today - a bad book experience, coupled with a plan foiled this afternoon and an ill-advised nap that's made me all groggy have conspired against it . I don't want to force anything, the moment is delicate; particularly as it dawned on me (I that thought I had such a complete plan) last night that something pivotal which I can't tell you about needs to happen at the end of Dreaded Chapter Four. I don't want to go doing pivotal scenes a disservice by writing when I'm out of sorts, now do I?

Still - the fact that I'm worrying about doing scenes a disservice is, in itself, quite probably a good sign. Is that a writing zest I see before me, on yond pomegranate tree ?
