Went to Moe's and found some well priced books of poetry by William Blake and John Donne - two great metaphysical poets - for inspiration.

Tomorrow is the long haul drive - 600 miles from Berkeley to Newport - will stop for 2 hours to attend a write-in in Ashland.

Doing fine on the word count but behind my personal goal. Really need to stop traveling and just plant myself somewhere and write. Should probably be patting myself on the back for getting off to a strong start amidst all the craziness - but I think I'll just feel immensely better when I finally reach the house tomorrow night.
