Despite the holidays, I manged to complete my goal on December 24th by writing 1,679 words. Unfortunately due to the holidays, I wrote nothing at all on December 25th. Not very consistent. But like I said in one of my previous posts, I’m just trying to take it day by day and not feel bad when I miss day, because I want this to be a positive, fun experience!
Today I wrote 1,724 words. Yay I reached my goal! While I was writing today I got a little stuck. I just felt no motivation to write a little boring transition section between two different parts of my story. So after a while of just sitting there wasting time, I decided to move on to write the next interesting section and come back to the boring transition section. Afterwards, I found it easy to return to the boring transition section of my story. Although in retrospect this seems not that revolutionary, I think this will help get me into a proper “writing mood” faster.
During this whole experience thus far, I have found that I write best in the late hours, from 11pm to 2am. This is weird because I am an early riser. But on the other hand, it makes sense. I feel a real sense of pressure because I need to go to bed, yet I’m also super focused because there really is no other reason I should be up late alone in my room on my computer.
p.s. it’s SNOWING. 😀
