My rhythm

Right now, I am working 2-3 hours a day on writing, and producing 150-200 words in each hour. You string together a few days like that, and pretty soon you have a nice chunk of a chapter written. I am doing one hour at a time. Aside from that, I am listening to relevant music related to my project.  

I am also playing piano for about the same time:2-3 hours. Each hour I devote to a different task, usually playing walking bass-lines for the first hour.

I came up with a super-obvious idea yesterday. I was listening to PI, and I noticed what his melodies actually consisted of.  It is obvious, but I didn't actually make note of it until I asked myself the right questions.

Here is my productivity report for the past few days:
