Plumbers

Strictly speaking this post does not relate to my book, except in a vague way relating to opportunity and time management. I wake up wanting to work on my book and spend as much time as possible on it every day. Typically there aren't any major distractions, and things can move along at a pace I'm satisfied with. Once in a while, however, an event occurs which more or less prevents me from making any progress on it, and that was the case yesterday. Plumbers are using a jackhammer in my basement to break up concrete--directly beneath my office. To say this is distracting would be something of an understatement. Not wanting to lose an entire day--and it not being possible to leave my house--I ended up doing a lot of reading, which is okay because research is crucial. Today they should be done with the jackhammer before lunch. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I have analysed a lot of movies and can't wait to add them to my book.
