Keeping up the momentum

Last night I finally got back to writing in the third novel after a week off.  It's not that I didn't want to write or have plot developments I wanted to explore.  It was simply that I let everything else in my life take precedence for a week.  That's what happened with my swimming also, because I did that stupid thing which is trying to synchronize my workouts with someone else.  No matter how much I love them it always messes up what I'm trying to do.  Which forces me to reexamine what I'm trying to do and the vicious cycle repeats, arhhh!
