Year: 2011

For some reason, I write really really fast to Godspeed you black emperor.

As in: 1750 words in about 45 minutes.

Weird.

Now I’m worried I’ll get sick of it.

barely squeaking in before midnight!

I’d probably get more writing done if my writing sessions didn’t start with 30 minutes of noodling on the internet….

Would have liked a couple hundred more words today, but this is fine. Probably should try to catch up before I skip another day [or have another light day].

Two sessions. Still behind the count, but hit 20k at least.

Only afternoon session. Apparently I really needed sleep.

Probably will have to do session two by hand, won’t write up til after midnight, but just in case i get more done….

Mmm, theremin.

music: Godspeed you black emperor!

So Fridays apparently don’t work for me.

Or maybe it’s pep talks?

This week – for non-writing reasons – has not been good. It happens.

I was really excited about what i was going to write tonight – there was a great start, i really wanted to see where the story went. But I was drained. Tired. Just not up to it. I didn’t want to sit down at all, I wanted to curl up and read, or watch something stupid on netflix.

But writers write. That’s what you do. You write. There are no mental health days.

And sure, I may have not really written the scene – this should have been another 1k words, at least, but the last 250 was really just a bullet list of the sequence of events more than anything resembling story.

But I wrote.

ooh! plot twist! I love it when I just make up plot twists!

We get to the middle. Which to me is the muddle. So far, okay. We are moving.

edited to add: now only 1100 down. Was a bit over 2k down on Friday, so not bad.

Plot thing is really helping.

Now if I could just work on that pesky self-editing problem.
