I let the 'committee' (what I call those tricky little voices) get me for a couple of days and now I have to fight my way back. If you have a moment guys, think a good thought for me.

I'm not used to pen & paper writing (except for jotting notes). It felt really unfamiliar and strange, which was good, but next time I'm bringing my laptop...<br /><br />Says Natasha who wants tea too badly to "waste" time signing in...(but apparently, will write an entire paragraph on how busy she is..)

I thankfully got my word count for the day at the meeting (1700) which was good because I couldn't really think afterward. <br /><br />I wrote some fun stuff tonight, but it was pretty hard to start. For some reason I'm getting some resonant "no one's ever going to read this" backtalk from myself, and it's hard to argue with sometimes. I guess everyone faces it at some point, just an ongoing battle to try and beat out the self-criticism. <br /><br />31,483 words.

I thought we were going to be all just sitting there types/writing like crazy with no talking or anything at all.<br /><br />Today on the other hand was a write-off (no pun intended). I didn't get much writing done at all. Funeral in the morning, and wasted my afternoon at what was advertized as a job fair, but turned out to be a recruiting fair for various schools.<br /><br />**** Day 18 **** +850 = 35223 Words ****Howard Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975714295148969227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661017298692970144.post-82349194701445191072011-11-18T15:06:38.037-07:002011-11-18T15:06:38.037-07:00I had a blast even though I couldn't move my h...I had a blast even though I couldn't move my hand afterward.
