Don’t want a fourth

I’ve somehow managed to turn my early start today into a slow start—or more accurately, a no start—and I need a quick turnaround. Since I don’t want a fourth day of inadequate fiction ramblings, I guess I’m going to have to get to work.

First up, one 48 minute session.

Goal: at least 500 words.

So, limited editing. I’m just going to have to figure this scene out and do it in a hurry. I need 500 words.

I have a new rule to end my days at 9 PM so I can stop staying up late and start feeling better. I’m going to stick by that. And that means I can’t wait until 9 PM to start writing.

Update: Honesty is the best policy, right? Yeah. I didn’t do this writing. In fact, for the first time in a while, I had a zero word day.

Just three of those days?

Yeah, it’s a streak.

Definitely not the good kind.

I set out yesterday to write early, and I did. But I also quit early and then didn’t restart. My one 48 minute session was all I did and my word count for day 16 of my 500 words a day effort was 230 words.

Today, on the other hand, is going to be great.

I got more sleep last night, albeit just a little; however, it was enough to make me feel better and I feel like I can get back on track today.

First things first: I have to trim the fingernails. It’s time. Then I’m going to sit back down and write for as long as I can today, in 48 minute blocks. There’s a reason I picked 48 minutes and I might explain later. Right now I just need to get started before I waste the morning.
