I definitely hit that wall today. Big time.
But…it didn’t completely ruin me, and here I am tonight feeling rather much better, thank you very much.
I wrote 1,300 words today. Definitely shy of 3,000…but I’m going to say I’m okay with this. I’ll make it up at some point, I know I will. And they were GOOD words today. Thank you baby jesus, they were good words today. Those good words, interestingly, came at the end of my day. After walking the pups, after having languished through a daylight-time filled with a floating anxiety that I rarely, RARELY get. But those good words did finally come. I calmed the fuck down. Got my feet back on the ground.
Writing this second novel is going to be hard, guys. I don’t know why, but it is. Until, hopefully, it isn’t. At some point, I’m hoping a switch will be thrown, and I’ll ride that groove to the end. But, we’ll see. I’ve never written a “second novel” before.
Anywho…one new thing that happened today was I downloaded a bunch of Star Trek comics…and I loaded them onto my iPad to read. I can’t imagine they’re that spectacular…but I think I’m really going to enjoy them for their nostalgia factor. And some of the artwork is so fun.
I also had time tonight to play one of my new games: Battlefront. That’s the Star Wars game. Aaannnddd…I don’t think it’s really for me. Thankfully it was only $10 when I bought it. It’s beautiful, don’t get me wrong…but it’s just a bunch of battle arenas. There’s no storyline, no adventure, no levels…it’s just not my kind of game to play for hours on end. Maybe every now and then, but I don’t think it will be much. We’ll see. It is very pretty.
Coco’s paw is nearly completely healed. I still didn’t take her on a full walk tonight, but I did take her on a quick little one, and she did fine. It still looks good after all that. It hasn’t split back open, and there is no sign of any infection. Telling y’all…neosporin is magical, magical stuff.
Anywho…tomorrow is going to be a kick ass day on the writing front. Wish me luck! 🙂
