Day 2,841: 6,500 words, 25 pages
I count my progress in pages while I’m drafting a new book. Some people use words, but counting words is a little hard for me to wrap my head around. Not sure why, exactly. Page count has always made sense to me. It might be because I spent several years learning to...
Day 2,840: Peak Lasso
Season 2 of Ted Lasso just got real, y’all. Third episode. So good. First two episodes were fine, don’t get me wrong. Loved them both. Third episode was razor sharp. Peak Lasso. I…had a solid day today. I finished my outlining. What I built to gave me chills. It’s...
Day 2,839: Blur
You know…when you’ve written every day for this long, the entries truly do start to become a blur. This is the closest I will ever come to being able to conceptualize what two thousand eight hundred and thirty nine days actually feels like…and it’s not very close. I...
Day 2,838: Oh Boy Oh Boy
Making this a quick one because it is WAY past bed time… As Josh would say: I’m gonna sleep in tomorrow. We casted. We watched Return of the Jedi and it was glorious. RotJ is not a perfect movie by any means, but it does stick the landing. It is a raucous good time,...
Day 2,837: Not Stellar
Not a stellar day on the writing front. I’ve hit a patch where there’s some indecision. I’m introducing a new character, one that I’ve kind of written myself into a hole as someone who swoops in and saves the day, and I want that to makes sense, be believable, etc...
Day 2,836: Carrying Capacity
I only wrote 6 pages today, I think…but between yesterday and today, it evens out to 10 apiece, and I am absolutely fine with that. That feels like the normal flow of things. I’m thinking about adjusting my work schedule. Already! It might be better to do 15 pages a...
Day 2,835: I’m Back
I’m back. Found the writing groove. Wrote 14 pages today and didn’t even break a sweat. I did that in about 2 hours and 45 minutes, actually. Not even my full scheduled writing session. AND got some podcast stuff done. What a relief. I got up on time. The words...
Day 2,834: Here’s Hoping
Today was better! Not the badass day I wanted…but better. I’m reminded today that I need to outline before I can write. And I need to walk before I can run. I really WANT to just get running again…but first must come walking. So, today I walked. I outlined. Tomorrow,...
Day 2,833: But Was There WiFi?
It was hard today. I’ve been in a funk, lately. Not wanting to write. Really close to finishing, and feeling a metric shit ton of resistance. But…I wrote. And it was hard. And I don’t know if I love what I wrote, but I did it. Tomorrow, I think will probably be more...
Day 2,832: A Good Week
Looking forward to a good week this coming week. I need it. The pressure is on to finish my book. Gotta do it. I *can* do it. Gonna crank on it tomorrow and the next day and the next until I finish the damn thing. It is within my GRASP! It’s going to be a solid book....
