When You Haven't Written in A Week and You Have To Write 3000 Words A Day to Finish

Expectations:

Reality:

So I'm writing my story in three parts. Would it be too jarring if the first two parts were 3rd person restricted of one character and the last part was focused on a different character? because like he was the main character but now she wants to take over the show and...

writing is starting to feel like pulling teeth. i am ripping the words from my brain...and they're shit

[schenkl-blog]

33000

Been having the hardest time the last few days getting word count and today was especially wrought with distractions, but a change of scenery and now i've flown and written over 2,000 words in the past 2 hours.

32000 words!!!!!!!!!!!!!! huzzah, reached my goal and now am back on track! So here's an excerpt. my character's got into a fight without consulting me and this is the end.

my characters are getting out of hand and making up new plot points without consulting me!

Do you ever write something and think it sounds...so stupid!

perspective

Okay so now my issue is not writing other character's thoughts. I chose my perspective to be third person restricted, focused on my main character, but I keep writing other people's thoughts!! and ugh.

omg how to writer's do it. am i cut out for this? I always thought it was the beginning of a story that was hard, but like i'm 50% of the way through this "novel" and it just keeps getting crappier and crappier!!! siighh. i can only focus on it for like two sentences at a time. i'm falling behind on my goals. and my story is shit. ranty rant rant. see look at me not having the attention span to write my story, but i sure can complain about it. 29,800 words uggggh wanted to be at 32000 by the end of the night!! ugh. 

[schenkl-blog]

so last night i was writing, and falling asleep at the keys. today i open my story to start working again, and find this paragraph, I have no memory of the highlighted parts...Like the last two sentences: What Even?
