Yesterday, I arbitrarily set a goal to hit 20,000 words by the end of the day. I was very pumped up to do just that and I had a wonderful scene in plan for what I wanted to write. I did a few household chores instead because I knew that I could easily spend all day writing and I was expecting Sarah and Fay to be coming over. Meanwhile, I had some rather unpleasant personal events go down and they put me in quite a funk and pretty much killed my desire to write at all. After our outing at the park and all, I was in a much better mood. But whether it’s the change in time or the long walk at the park or both, I was exhausted by 7:30 and so while I did attempt to reach my goal the tired won out and I didn’t.
So this morning I woke up with the full intention of not only getting my 20,000 words but shooting right passed that and heading full on to 25,000! So, I am quite proud of myself. I am pleased with how the story is evolving at this point and I’m also very confident in my ability to finish this year’s Nano. (Which, admittedly hasn’t been too much of an issue for me in the past.}
And now that I’m all done with that — and my wrist is starting to ache a bit — I am off for the night. More as it comes. :-)
[EDIT: I am aware that the word count meters aren't showing up. It's not me, it's the sites they're from. Can't do much about that until they recover.]
