The burning and the extinguishing--and the writing that suffers

Posts will be minimal this week while we work on some office logistics and other important tasks. It's tough enough keeping one's head in the game when one is kept from writing fiction by being busy working on material that is (generally) more utilitarian than creative. When tasks are completely non-writing in nature and are having to come first it becomes obvious that sometimes all a writer can do is stay the course mentally while putting out the proverbial fires of life.
