Well, this week marks a pretty great milestone. This is the week I wrote a couple of paragraphs and it didn’t feel like pulling teeth.
I know I have this story to tell, and I know what the points are that I need to tell, but previous weeks’ writing has involved a terrible mashup of email-checking, blog-surfing, painful sentence writing and obsessive word-count-checking (argh, after an hour of working SO HARD at avoidance, all I’ve got is 20 more words???).
So yesterday, I sat down and, well, I only wrote like 600 words, but they were 600 words I enjoyed writing. 600 words where I didn’t notice the time passing. Where I came to a point that required me to research something (horses), and after surfing a bit I thought, “I don’t want to waste time doing this. I want to get back into the story”. So some of the details are still sketchy, but the plot is moving. Yay!
