Update

I completely fell off the writing wagon. I think I hit my head as I fell. When I awoke, the wagon was gone and I was lost in the darkness. I have not written anything in a couple of weeks - since the day before my last blog post in fact. Apparently my muse stayed on the wagon and now I have lost her (or him - I'm not really sure.)

I am not overly stressed about this. Technically I'm a month ahead of schedule for my 100 words per day.

So I'm just going to wait for my muse to show back up with the wagon. Surely they will realize I am gone eventually.

In the mean time, I have been reading and doing some modeling. Perhaps I will post some of that eventually.

Tonight I'm going to try something new

This is probably a bad idea.

In fact the more I think about it the worse the idea sounds.

I was thinking about stepping back from my main writing project and working on a little short story I started writing a while back. I came across it and liked what I had written. It made me feel good and that was a nice feeling since I've been thinking about how shitty my writing is lately.

However, as I type this I know its not a good idea. I need to push through with my novella and not get distracted. So no matter what, I'm going to continue to get my 100 words per day written on that.

Maybe I can use this like a reward system. Like, I can only work on the short story if I have already done my 100 words of novella writing. That might work.

It was nice to reread something I had written and feel good about writing it though. I need more moments like that.

Reading update: I'm currently in the middle of two of the books on the list. In the mornings at the gym I am listening to The Last Unicorn on Audible. At night I am reading The Guns of Avalon (book two of the Chronicles of Amber).
