So far, so good

[vr_trakowski]

Since Tuesday, I have been trying to write at least 500 words for my novel. So far, so good--I've managed more than that except for yesterday, which was only about 260 or so. Mind you, I've discarded some, but the idea is to keep moving.

This does not sound like much, except it's more than I've managed on a regular basis for way too long now. It may end up being only a habit on working days--sometimes my weekends are not condusive to writing at all--but if it does become a workable habit I'll be delighted.

Besides, I'm curious to see where my heroine is going.

hey, writing habits are good to get into, and I'm equally curious to see where she goes!

I've thought that maybe setting one or two days aside a week specifically for original fic might be a good way to keep the forward motion going--for myself, but if it works for you too, why not? The gentle cheerleading from a faithful reader does a lot to help as well, and I'll be there for you!

That sounds like a great idea, but I'm not sure it would work for me--sometimes all that gets me through 500 words is the promise of being able to write fic afterwards. But if you want to try it, I'll definitely cheer! *waves pompons*
