Logorrhea

[elfs]

What is with me this week? I seem to be unable to start a story without it turning into a 20,000 word opus! My sequel to The Visitor, tentatively titled The Temple, is already 13,700 words! And I've only been working on it since last Wednesday.

If this keeps up, I'm going to burn out my wrists again...

Damn, and here I was hoping that older kids = kids entertain each other = more time to write (or play World of Warcraft, same thing).

Well, it is true that they do entertain each other. They also frustrate, annoy, provoke, argue, and conflict, and those interruptions are frequent, loud, and distracting. It also doesn't help that at six and eight, they're just now getting their social lives together, which eats an awful lot of the evening away.
