Writing while on medication

It's far from easy.  Recently I had a bad problem with insomnia.  It got bad enough to affect me at work, and at home.  So I had no choice but to go see a doc about it.

I'm on a temporary medication while I work with the doctor to determine why it happened in the first place.  We figure it will take a bit of time to really understand why I couldn't sleep, but we'll be persistent and get it figured out.

In the meantime I'm still giving my best to writing.  But for the time being it feels sluggish.  I know exactly what I'm writing, and it's coming out like I want it to.  It's kind of like I went from typing about 70 words per minute to only typing 35 words per minute.

The hunt is continuing, and I am really liking how its coming out.  One word at a time, and pressing on.  I still can't give a timeline for the book because once I get through the draft there is still so much work to be done.  Once I have an idea on the timeline, I'll start posting it and giving updates.

In the meantime, I will slog through the medicine and keep pressing on.
