Today was a damn good day.

                  I was worried when I woke up and pulled out my laptop that I had completely lost the momentum I had boasted about yesterday. But it honestly turned into the best writing day I’ve had in a long time.

                  I hit my goal early on in the day and gave myself permission to work on a “fun” project on my lunch break at work. By fun I mean the project I’m not currently forcing myself to write and therefore has no pressure surrounding it.

                  But the funny thing is, I worked on that fun project…and then went back to Project Prophecy. I realized that I should just be writing the things I know I need to put in the story given the knowledge I now have at over 40k words. Growing that word count can happen in multiple ways. Some write from start to finish. I, however, am highly chaotic and write whatever scene is in my head at the moment.

                  The scene I just finished is one I realized I needed because of what happened in a scene yesterday. This will likely go somewhere around the 20k mark…even though I’m now almost at 50k.

                  It’s just how my brain works and was part of the reason I had to try so many different writing software before I found the right one that let me split my work into chapters and reorganize them as I was writing. There was a moment where I was so overwhelmed by my word document that I just stopped writing my epic and turned to my comedy.

                  I guess plus side because I’m super excited to get back to that project but it sucked for a while there.

                  I’m crossing my fingers that I can keep this momentum going. I know that a great deal of what success is based on is showing up even when you don’t want to. So, I’ll need to write even on the days there’s no more words in my head.

                  But luckily today was not that day!

Word Counts

Project Prophecy (I’ll give one word of the title…”In”…that’s all you’re getting):48,401

Project Funsies (this has a title but I feel like gatekeeping so…):435

Anyways, stay writing, stay golden, and be a pony boy (that’s how that book quote goes, right?)
