Day One
Well, I didn’t hit my 20 pages. I really didn’t know what to expect, and I had a little trouble turning off the internal editor, but I really tried to just let go.
I worked for about an hour and a half in the afternoon while my kids were playing video games and then another hour and a half after they went to bed after I had dinner. I’m going to stop now so I’m fresh for tomorrow. Tomorrow is one of my writing days. The little one is in Mother’s Day Out from 9-2, so minus pick-up and drop-off time, I get about four hours, give or take. Then I can squeeze in more time after dinner tomorrow too, so I’m hoping to make up for being short today.
Today I wrote a little over 13 pages! And I actually think I’ll be able to use a decent amount! I’m still hoping for that stream of consciousness stuff that slowly morphs from drivel to brilliant, but I’ll take whatever I can get.
Either way, I wrote 13 pages that I can fix and tweak and edit. That’s definitely something!
Thanks to everyone for their good wishes! I really appreciate the support!

That’s awesome! I’m inspired
Better to aim for 20 pages and end up with 13 then to think, “Gee, I should probably do some writing today” and end up with, “But then again, there’s always tomorrow…”
Good job!
