Sat Progress

Too early to tell but this juggling between multiple, completely separate projects may also be killing some of the Perfect impulse. Book no longer needs to be Event because if this one fails, I've got 3 others in various stages that have potential.

Just a thought. I hope it stays true for me because I hate having to physically force myself to write the next sentence...blood poring out of every pore... no Gabby--really--you won't actually die if the next word you type is not the perfect choice, I promise.

Major goal today
  • Write 2 scenes for my new WIP- scene 3 and 4.
Backup goals today:
  • If not burned out, write 2 more scenes on WIP (I need to get ahead on some of my goals this week as I won't have much time for writing in a couple weeks.)
  • Rewrite previous short story to see if I can upgrade it to a keeper
  • Plot next short story. Need unique situation with solid hook and good opening.
Now time to dive into the world of my MC and enjoy the process.

*** Update 11:48: something's wrong. I read the scene and now I'm surfing the web. I have no idea what happens next. Hopefully Muse is musing on it... off to get a few chores done and then I'll give the scene another try.

*** Update 2:20pm: 1 scene down. 838 words. Good stuff. Explains a lot that will happen later in the book. So excited. Now I need to write the next scene so I can be caught up through the weekend.

*** Update 4:29pm: 407 words on scene four but my attention is flagging. Time for a break and then I think I'll switch gears to the short stories for awhile.
