Hi Folks,
Well, today is actually a day off for me, such as it is. I did begin reading in my WIP where I left off yesterday. I made a little headway but I had a rough night last night so I didn’t get far.
Here’s the link again for the bundle of writing books just in case you are considering it but haven’t acted yet: https://storybundle.com/nano.
The Day
Rolled out right at 3, but I probably should have gone back to bed. Ugh.
Anyway, looking forward to sitting on the couch and watching football this afternoon. Since I was sitting up with my stomach last night anyway, I did watch one of the better college games I’ve seen in awhile, the Big 10 championship. It came down to the final 30 seconds when Michigan State beat undefeated Iowa for the crown.
Today it will be my Arizona Cardinals vs. the Rams, then the Broncos vs. the Chargers, and then the last hour of the Panthers vs. the Saints.
Definitely no walk today.
Today’s Writing
I can’t overemphasize the importance of the breakthrough on the novel yesterday. I’m calm again about the novel and I know it will flow to the ending now.
I needed that confidence today since I’m under the weather. That confidence is what enabled me not to screw with the story beyond my capabilities today. I know it’ll still be there tomorrow, and that it will still flow well when I get back to it in earnest.
So for today, I started out calling it a day off. Then I did what I was comfortable doing and no more. But I’m still gonna count it as a writing day below.
Should be back full strength tomorrow.
