Trying To Write
/I thought I would have plotted out my story
by the end of this week but instead,
I’ve trailed off into other things.
I still want to reach my goal in the word count for this week
but I’m not sure if I’ll even be able to do that much.
My story is a bit of a mess.
I’m still not sure about a few things
but I’m glad that I found some new and interesting things
to add to the story.
And there are a few things that need to be changed too.
I wanted to write a novel-sized story last month
but making a complete short story would be as great as well.
My laptop is acting slow and
I think I’m close to my word count goal
but the site that I’m using to keep track of
how close I am to my goal is taking forever to load.
I have about two hundred words to go before I reach my goal.
I wish it all went to the story idea
but at least most of the writing I did this week went to that.
It takes longer to reach the goal that's just a few words away. Why is that?
Probably because I’m writing aimlessly now.
I wrote every other day this week.
My goal was 14000 words, which was double last week's goal.
I should have written two hundred words a day to make it easier for me.
But this sort of worked out anyway.
