January 9th: Happy New Year!

My goodness, it is 2013 already! And it is the 9th! Man, I have not posted since last year! šŸ˜‰Ā  Sorry about that, I just couldn’t resist.

Anyway back to business. This past week I have had days of success as well as … days-of-not success. On January 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th, I unfortunately wrote nothing at all. However, on January 4th I wrote 2,632 words, on January 7th I wrote 1,742 words, and on January 8th (today) I wrote 2,192 words. I have several poor excuses for why I did not write, which range from a terrible headache (okay excuse) to traveling on a bus for most of the day (good excuse) and having terrifying nightmares about physics next semester (bad excuse). I’m sure you finding this detail fascinating, but let me move on.

Today’s writing actually went horrendously slowly…. which is really only because I HATE the section I had to write today. IĀ  tried to get myself into a good “writing mood” by writing a short little other section before I returned to the terrible transition section I needed… but that did not really help. I eventually slogged through it… but I already pity myself, thinking about how I will have to edit it later. That is the one great thing about my WooWriMo/NaNoWriMo: once you write something, you are free of it. You do not have to worry about the past terrible sections you wrote. Well, you do, but you can push it off your plate for now. No reason to waste time agonizing over your own insecurity. Because obviously, with WooWriMo/NaNoWroMo, you have to just forget it and move on and write. Right now, I am quite happy because that I don’t have to look at that past transition section I wrote today for a long, long time. šŸ˜€

Unfortunately, I am busy tomorrow afternoon and evening, so I will have to write in the morning. And although I am an early riser, I don’t like writing in the morning for some strange reason. Hopefully this will not turn out to be too big of a problem because I really enjoy the section that I am currently writing. But still, wish me luck!
