3600 words today!
I had time today. But at first I didn’t know how to move forward. I had to make sure a central concept was clear in my mind. So I looked through my notes for a couple hours, wrote down notes to hopefully clarify it to myself more....
I had to start writing. That helps sometimes. Because I was watching my niece later. I wanted to end on sentence that I could take off from next time. But I just kept writing. And Jocie did her own thing so I could keep writing! And I wasn’t even hungry for lunch, so I wrote until past 2. I might have been able to write more, but I thought I should have lunch and do something with Jocie (basically watched shows... had a loonng afternoon lunch.... made her lunch... spilled on the couch... anyway). Hot outside and I was tired from being too hot last night so the time just flew.
when writing, the words were just flowing. That’s what I want-- to be living in real time within the story, and writing along as I see the things happening. That’s the best. Other times it happens slower, and maybe it’s what built it to this point, but it’s not the best writing or the funnest.... I think. Hopefully I can move forward with writing this and it’ll make sense.
it works when you know the basics but your mind fills in cool details as you’re writing and you just spontaneously add them-- they have the potential to feel real
