Get Your Words Out!!

I actually managed to pull it off. Since 1/2/14 I've written 500+ words. 58 days... Don't break the damn chain! (It's the only one of my many chains that I didn't break! )

It's interesting. Supposedly it's like 21 days to make a habit? Not sure if that number is true but I can really feel it now. Before my resting state when not wanting to write or edit was just don't do it. Now my resting state is to zero draft. 500 words has kind of become easy. Editing is still a pain. My favorite kind of pain, but a pain nonetheless.

I finished the second draft of the horribly painful chapter 3 on Wednesday and so I've been a bit brain dead. It's now 700 words longer than it was when I started and more fleshed out so I'm calling a minor win. For the past two days I've written on the next story as a bit of a mental break. Between all of my editing breaks I've wracked up 3500 words on the first chapter of the next story :-). Still not sure which of the two next ones will truly come next but this one seems to be wanting to be written at the moment.

Tomorrow I start on the 4th chapter edit. I'm a bit daunted already, the last two chapters are the longest of the bunch so I've got a long way to go. I seem to fall into the habit of "sexy time, gear noodling dump" at the end, so the last 2 chapters are 50% of the story! I'm still feeling shaky on the whole thing (I still don't feel like I have the motivations as solid as I want to be) so I think I'll have to throw it over the wall to see if it's anywhere near coherent. I have a reader lined up. I hope to not disappoint her. It could go either way. She is brutally honest in the best of ways. I need brutally honest...

I really don't know if this is truly good or not, if like in May I'll burn out an take up pottery or something, but as percygranger puts it. I hate zeros. Get your words out.
