BIAW Words-to-date: 4225
BIAW Words till goal: 5775

Last night's goal was 2500 words, and I got very, very close (about 2200). My mom called, and I can't exactly brush off my mom (I actually like her), so that put the writing back a good hour. But hey, not bad says I, for losing a whole hour.

AND, I'm happy with what I wrote! There is definitely some clunky sentence structure that will get refined today, but the meat of the piece (setting, characterization, plot development) is as good as anything I've written--which isn't to say it can't be improved. I mean, I'm still learning sooo much. But yay! Double yay!!! And huge thanks to [livejournal.com profile] dark_geisha for thinking up this animal; I needed a little push.

It's funny. Every time I sit down at the computer, I'm afraid the words won't come, because they are NEVER there when I set out to write. But they do come, and the more I practice, the easier it is to take my brain to the writing place where my words are.

YAY! Getting the story down is whats important. Once down then you can do rewrites.

yep, you're absolutely right. It's a discipline. 100 lousy words translates to 50 really great ones the next day. But if you didn't write the icky 100, you never would have gotten the 50...

yay new friend!
