I’m going to say this not to deter anyone from taking on this craft as their life’s work but because it’s a hard truth for any passion that anyone can have.

Sometimes you have to choose to write.

It’s also showing that the days ebb and flow. Yesterday I was over joyous, ready to conquer the entire world. Today, getting up was the most ultimate of battles.

I woke up feeling, for no better way to put it, so not in the mood. I didn’t want to write. I didn’t want to do extra work knowing there was plenty of that I’d be doing today. But I still showed up because I have a dream and a passion, as insane as it sometimes feels to have that for this craft.

I imagine, although I’ve yet to be married but my parents have had a long one, that writing is much like marriage. Some days you choose to continue to love your spouse because you made those bloody vows so you’re gonna force it today. But if they breath in your direction one more time there might just be some hell to pay.

Sometimes you’ll need to force yourself to write because you know you love it, it’s just hard to see that in the moment.

I’m glad I did force myself because today I learned a great deal about one of my characters and what are some of his motives. (I also don’t want to toot my own horn, but I wrote a killer prophecy rife with rhymes and foreshadowing)

Some days suck, and that’s just life honey bunches so suck it up, rub some dirt on it, and get back to the keyboard.

Now for the word count update!

Project Prophecy:58,237

I wrote 1k today, which is more than usual despite how I felt when I woke up. And I’m very happy I started this blog because I likely wouldn’t have done that if it weren’t for the fact I am now addicted to people liking these posts…

Any what its… stay writing so you have a reason to get out of bed every day.
