Watched a funny horror flick with Liz’s Hollywood Fam tonight called Ready Or Not.
It was fun! A bit safe for a horror flick, but still very fun and funny, and jump scary in the right parts.
Solid day at work. Great day for writing. I’m wrestling with a scene but I’m, like, actually wrestling with it. Like, making headway. Having good ideas.
The shift, honestly? Two things: first, I’m meditating before every writing session now. Every one. It calms me the fuck down. I can feel my brain slow. Like, the pattern of thoughts change. It’s crazy. Kind of like falling asleep, I guess, except it’s not sleep…
Second, I’m not setting goals of any kind other than just putting in the time. I’ve tried to do that before and failed. Not this time. This time, for whatever reason, it’s sticking. Not even a page count. I just work for the time I’m supposed to work. And, the writing is happening. Pretty sure I wrote another 1,600 or so words today, which is about an entire chapter. Even with rewrites.
It’s a revelation.
Great week. Feels like a big step forward.
