I had a plan for today.
Aiming for 3, 7, 7, 3 x 21, 300 words every 21 m
Then I realized I was getting started much later than I needed to for my original plan to work the way I wanted. It’s 11:03 am.
I need a new plan.
I’m going to stick with the 4 blocks but swap up the number of sessions for each one.
5 | 1,500 |
5 | 1,500 |
5 | 1,500 |
5 | 1,500 |
Aiming for: | 6,000 |
This is both a challenge and an experiment. 21 minute sessions seem to be a good length for me and doing a few of them in a row doesn’t feel like a push I can’t handle. Doing four blocks of them might be, but I’m not going to know if I don’t try. I really want to reach this 6,000 words in a day milestone.
In fact, it’s part of a bigger challenge I want to set to finish this book I’m working on in 9 days. Today is the test to see if I’m anywhere near ready to take on something like that.
I’d say I need to work up to it, but I binge write and take very long breaks between books, so it just isn’t realistic to expect me to work up to it by writing every day a little more than the day before. I’m ready to accept this about myself and try to make the most of my ability to dive into something wholeheartedly and become a little obsessed until I’m done. That’s my real strength and I’m ready to work with it instead of against it. :)
My next post will contain my updates on today’s challenge.
