It’s a long, looonngggg day writing 20 pages, man. Takes it out of me. Which, I suppose is to say that I’m still getting used to it.

It’s five hours of work. A solid five so as not to be rushing. If I try to rush, try to push, I start forcing things and that takes me out of it. But, I have to say I haven’t been falling into the trap, lately. I feel a bit like a zombie and out of it in between writing sprints, but that’s because I give myself enough time to stress out and wonder if I’m messing up or going too fast.

I wrote some fun stuff today. And I’m about to get into some fun stuff tomorrow. The manuscript will be at 240 pages by Friday (I’ll need a bit of a make-up day on Friday since I missed my target by five pages yesterday…but that’s nothing. About an hour of writing). Half way! Ish. Book will be somewhere between 500 and 600 pages.

Shits about to start going down. For real.

Whew. I am exhausted. Time for bed. Very, very proud of myself for hitting 20 pages today. It’s the first time I’ve done that twice in a week. I’m starting to get the hang of this!
