1208 was about writing and flow.
1209 was about spending time with my family.
WC: 37.895

Worked on a pay the bills thing last night instead.

1300 words. 1300 fun words. I’m having so much fun writing the climatic scene.
My lead character can be a real douchebag.
It’s fun to write in the voice of douchebag.

almost forgot to record yesterday.
about 1,000 words leading up to a really crucial point and I stopped because I really had to step back and think about it and now it is 12/06 and i’m done thinking about and going to write.

I took the day off from work yesterday and realized that I write so much better during the day than I do at night.
Unfortunately, writing during weekdays is rarely an option. But, at least I got the story flowing again at a point where I thought the flow had stopped.
That makes me think of a tampon analogy so I’ll stop there.

Rewriting, moving stuff around, deleting, replacing, working things out. About two hours of that.

I only wrote 585 words.
It’s a combination of a shitty week at work that’s leaving me drained, plus the fact that I’m at a point in the story where I need to start tying things together. This isn’t the same free flow writing of the first 35,000 words and I’m definitely having trouble.
I guess 585 words is better than zero.

Having issues. Will force myself to get back in creative mode tonight.
1130
nada. zilch. zero. nothing.
Is it ironic that I didn’t write anything at all on 1130?
I just didn’t have anything last night. I could have tried and maybe vomited up some gibberish that could have been spun into gold later, but who the hell has ever spun vomit into gold?
Instead, I watched Intervention and went to bed at 10. Sometimes, that’s a successful night.
