Today ended up being rather hijacked as well, unfortunately…but I feel better tonight.
Last night, my mind was racing. Tonight, I’m just tired. Tired I can handle. It’s being worked up that’s difficult.
We did a lot of building stuff today, and then I dealt with more personal stuff…but guys: I just sat down and cranked out 500 words in less than a half hour. The chain has not been broken. Not today. And I can feel it in me that tomorrow is going to be a good day. I have to just tell myself that it is not hard to sit down and write. I may have convinced myself that it is, but it is not. And I still have time to make some truly significant headway in writing this baby.
My brother Scott is visiting in just over a week’s time. I have enough days and hours to nearly finish this manuscript outright. I can DO that. I can, I really, really can. It will take a lot out of me, but it doesn’t have to be HARD. It can be wonderful and enjoyable. I had a good time tonight just describing a simple scene, a scene designed to set a place and build tension as to what was coming around the corner.
Anywho…cutting this one off here, tonight. But I am 1,500 words away from being 1/3 done with this book! At 90,000 pages. Which is GREAT. It means that the real meat of the story is starting to kick in, and I could not be happier or more ready for that shit. Oh, the hijinx! I hope this book is fun. I really, really do.
It’s time for me to get some shut-eye. Wake up tomorrow bright and early, ready to kick some ass. Who’s with me?!
