Minor Update: Progress Made!

Today, I actually wrote something.  Or well, half of something.  I wrote half of the first "chapter."  Tomorrow, I will write the next half.  

Whether or I write half of a chapter or a whole chapter, I'm trying to follow some techniques of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.  Csikszentmihalyi writes about "flow."  One of the factors I shoot for is clear, immediate goals.  With that previous nano success,  I knew what I was going write the next day.  I think that is one of the reasons why I succeeded.  It helped me get into the flow of writing.

That is what I am hoping to do here.  Find that flow.  I will specify tomorrow's goal more in the morning, before I start writing.  I have the vague concept for the back burner of my mind to play with for now.
