Fail.

NOT a great day, for many reasons.

Words didn’t want to come, it was like pulling teeth. It doesn’t help that I (as you know) write in segments and join them up, and often when I’m joining up it doesn’t really mesh together because I’ve written something later that needs to be retro-fitted earlier, so I’ve been back and forth like Dr Who in the limited time span of the book today. I think people will like the narrator, but I’m not sure about the main protagonist – and no, they aren’t one and the same person. I’m still happy, but today I really wanted to kick it, hard. Dad had good advice “shut it down and try again tomorrow,” but I still feel that 300 words (and that’s just within what I already wrote, not new stuff) is a big fat fail.

300 is waaaaaay better than zero.

I know it's silly of me - but now I'm doing this full time, and being subsidised so much, I feel that if I don't reach my target, I'm letting myself down - over a day's writing 1000 words should be so easy - you'd think!
