So! It's officially Day 14 of the 100 Words for 100 Days challenge. How am I doing, you ask? Do I have the good news that I have 1400 words so far?Well, you see... *insert lame excuse here*. I have been writing, and more so that in the last few months put together, but it's not at the 1400 word mark yet.
I found that writing in my notebook is a lot easier than writing in a Microsoft Word or Google drive document. I used to be against writing with pen and paper, because I felt like my mind was running so much faster than I could write and I was losing information as my pen scurried across the page in an effort to keep up. But something has changed. I write in my notebook and I don't feel pressured to get it right the first time. Because I know that I am going to just transfer all of this onto the computer eventually. I don't feel pressured to just write down garbled thoughts or doodles, either, because they might be useful down the road.
Even when I can't write actual story, I am working on the outline. Building the skeleton, jotting down ideas... and even if that isn't 1400 words, it still is progress. And I'm okay with that.
What about you? Are you taking the 100 Words for 100 Days challenge? Are you keeping up?
