Day eleven of the writing streak
Even though today was Tuesday, it felt like a Monday with how busy a day it was. As I write this post it’s currently 11:30 PM, and I am exhausted! So I will keep it short this time.
As I just mentioned, today was a really hectic day for me. I got many things done, but I finished quite late, and by the time I was done, all I wanted to do was to have dinner and go to bed.
The problem was that I hadn’t written anything today yet – I hadn’t had the time. But since I am currently on a writing streak that I am not ready to break, I knew that I absolutely had to write at least a little bit before going to sleep.
That’s why, after finishing my dinner and going out on a walk with my dogs, I turned on my laptop, opened up my Scrivener document, and set a timer for 30 minutes.
When I started I didn’t think I would get anything down this session, but that was underestimating myself. I actually wrote quite a lot during this half an hour. The problem was that my brain was already so tired that I had a lot of trouble making any decisions, meaning that I ended up writing, and erasing, and rewriting a lot. So overall I wrote a lot, even if my final word count for today might not show it.
I don’t think this was my most efficient writing session, and yet, with all this writing and rewriting, I may have figured out how to approach a scene that I was struggling with, in which case this wouldn’t have been too much of an unproductive session after all.
Alright, that’s where I’ll leave it for tonight because I have to go to sleep. I’m really looking forward to continuing writing tomorrow though. I feel like I’ve made real progress these past few sessions, and I’m really excited to see what comes next.
