I can do this.
Feel free to envision me in some yoga pose practicing lamaze....
I keep stalling out on my WIP due to planning. And replanning. And planning again. I've got a killer outline, but practically not story at all on paper :/ So, clearly while OCD is the forerunner in my repertoire of character qualities, I thought I'd pull out my #2 and ace-up-the -sleeve.
You guessed it.... my pride.
Issue a challenge and wether I want to accept it or not, I have an uncontrollable urge to acquiesce. Don't worry, I don't plan on ever going to Vegas. My husband knows me too well.
This challenge is to state clear, measurable goals for my writing and actually (gasp)
....stick.....
......with....
....them.....
I know, I know. Way outside of my comfort zone. Right up there with publicly announcing I'm working on something. so here goes..
I hereby decide I will write 300 words a day, with the exception of one night a week, insurance against Murphy's Law. I also retain the right to count character development as progress toward this goal-- give an obsess-er a break here.
How will this workout? Heck if I know...
Hah! 597 words for tonight!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to RoW80!
ReplyDelete300 words is a great goal, and insurance against Murphy's Law is essential. Wishing you many words and lots of forward progress on your WIP!
Good luck with your goal! This is my first time doing ROW80 and I hope to finish my WIP once and for all. :)
