Goal today: 658 words (hopefully I can double that and lower my goal back down a little bit).
Right now my story is at an awful place so I'm going to create a new page and just write going forward. I can figure out how to connect and cut later.
UPDATE (11:35): So I just spent a couple of hours surfing other people's writing blogs. I really need to realize that the publishing stuff/information about contracts and self pubbing, etc. That all happens AFTER the novel is finished. An interesting point I read was that it takes about 10-20 novels in your list to start making a decent living at self-pubbing. That's pretty cool. Finally a goal to shoot for. Yup - me who has worked on one novel for about 10 years now is thinking someday I might have 10 finished. Not looking realistic at this point. But still one more little inspiration to finish the stupid thing already.
UPDATE 2 (11:51): Ok, so here's the goal. This story is only for me and my sister. Nobody else will read it. I just need to make sure I'm enjoying it. It doesn't need to be perfect or even any good at all. It can be the most boring thing on the planet. UGH, ok. not really. But NO more pressure allowed. This is just for me right now. SO WRITE SOMETHING ALREADY. Or even just stare at the blinking cursor like a good little pretend writer.
