It's probably fitting for me to follow up a blog post on how I hate myself and my writing, my life etc. etc. with a blog post on hope.
I'm feeling hopeful.
I wrote around 4,000 words yesterday. They were doubtless not some of my best words, and I know I'll have to rewrite and rewrite until I go insane, but somehow, I'm more hopeful about this story now. I don't know if it'll be any good, or even if I'll want to rewrite it after I finish the first draft: but something in me says:
COMPLETE IT. One way or the other, finish it, and we'll see what happens in the end. Hopefully something good will come out of it.
I really, really believe this, and that's all I have to hold on to.
My goal for today: 13,295 words. :D That is a lot, considering my word count is around 6,000 at the time of writing this blog post. But I'm going to make it interesting somehow. And I will COMPLETE IT.

so, did you complete it? or do you have any further thoughts in hindsight? just curious

DeleteNot completed. Not given up, though.
13,000 words in a day?! WAHAT?
ReplyDeleteI didn't do it. But I didn't give up, either. Also, SO MANY COMMENTS. And I say that in the most joyful way possible.
DeleteI like comments.
