Pre-Writing Notes: Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope neeeeeeewp. There are a dozen other things I’d rather be doing (or procrastinating on doing) than sitting here and being “creative” and “exciting.” I have no energy. I just want to kind of blah-out and do nothing. I REEEEEEALLY don’t want to write now, given it’s before Bug’s bedtime, but I know it’ll be nice to just kick back and relax later with the hubby without having to squeeze this in and delay hang-out until 10PM. BUT BUT BUT BUUUUUUUT…I don’t know what I’m writing tonight. I don’t know where I’m going. I don’t want to just sit around and write some extended description simply to hit 1k…even though that’s probably what I’ll do. And maybe that’ll be useful sometime, who knows. BUT MEH. I’d rather do just about anything else…
Made better progress than I’d anticipated, though I was extremely aware of the growing word count and counting down to throw myself over the 1k mark. Still, while there was some description, it actually took on more life than I thought it might, and that’s got me a little more excited about tomorrow’s session. Still making solid progress, at any rate. 1k is definitely seeming to be a do-able goal for me each weeknight, though it’s always a bit of a push. Still, I can’t be upset with that steadily growing word count total. We’re getting there, bit by bit.
