1200 words this morning. Another 1300 this afternoon. Just when I was beginning to think I was going in the wrong direction, a “what-if” presented itself, and sent me in this new direction. I guess I’m back on track.
It’s another writing surge

Writing Every Day 
Great work! I’m big fan of the 4 pages/1000 words a day every day minimum.
I’m also into the idea of having a dedicated writing area and specific writing times every day.+
I believe that doing the same thing daily like going to the gym or making coffee. This physical repetition makes the process less challenging and becomes a habit.
Personally I like the morning hours. My brain is not full of useless news and information. Sleepy, yet fresh, the muse can enter at will. If not, i follow my outline into uncharted territory, being careful not to turn that annoying editor on that often squashes creativity, worrying about quotes and misspellings.
Thanks. It took me a long time (I’m talking years) to come around to the idea of writing first thing in the morning. But it really works.
That’s awesome! Congrats! Although I’ve been writing a lot of words lately, I realized this morning that I’ve written myself into a plot hole. That’s what I get from veering too far from my original outline, I suppose… and now I have to do some major decision making, and rewriting, before I can move forward again.
It’s great that you’re writing a lot. I wouldn’t feel too bad about veering from the outline; I think it’s more important to create the outline than to follow it. Best of luck getting past that nasty plot hole!
