Pomodoros!
Hey guys, quick update!
My current priority is writing the bed branch of the new sex scene.  I worked on it last week, but by Friday my writing had slowed to a crawl.  
I woke up on Sat feeling listless and demoralised, so I decided to take the day off and see if rest would help.  I just took the fucking day off because I'm a maverick crab!
On Sunday I didn't feel any better, though.  If anything, I felt moar tired!  UH OH!  If resting a day didn't fix it, could anything fix it?  Was I burned out?  Had the well gone dry?
😬
Spoiler alert: no.  Anyway, I also took Sunday off.  (I think this was literally my first weekend off in two or three years.)
Warming my engines this morning took me a little longer than usual (I started work at around 0900, two hours later than planned).  But the good news is that I had a super productive day!
I decided to just go back to basics.  I worked for nine hours, putting in 8 pomodoros (focused 25-minute time-blocks) of solid writing today.*  And it felt great!  I blasted straight through the section I'd been struggling with on Thursday and Friday.  
I also squeezed in a run right after work and my plan now is to chill the fuck out for the rest of the evening.  Hopefully I'll have another greta day tomorrow!
If I can keep this pace up, the bed branch will be finished in three days or so.  We'll release 1.6.3 as soon as it's ready, then announce plans for 1.7.
Okay, that's it, just wanted to let you guys know I'm alive.  Update to follow soon!
