The week before the week before NaNoWriMo

Sunday through Tuesday, I worked hard on the outline for my NaNoWriMo 2020 novel. I'm pleased with my progress and with how the week had been going in general, but then today I suddenly was tired, sleepy, listless, and generally had difficulty motivating myself. I even took a nap despite having gotten a very sound night's sleep, and my plan to move my sleep schedule in advance of winter clock/losing DST.

Yesterday I had prepared a reasonable list of tasks that needed doing today, hoping to get to them in the morning, when I was fresh. I'm trying out Scrivener for the first time, for example. I also have a big, nasty bug in the TC beta that I need to solve, and it requires hours of debug and testing. Not that I didn't do anything today, but I'm definitely not making as much of a dent in the old to-do list as I'd hoped.

I did go out to run errands and got some oranges, my first batch of the winter. Had one for lunch.
