I’ve just finished writing my 500 words for the day.
Normally, I don’t deliberately stop at 500 if I still want to write more of the current scene. However, I haven’t yet built up my writing momentum, so from past experience I know that if I keep writing now until I finish this bit, I might not be able to pick it up as easily tomorrow. Right now, I’ll just finish the sentence then leave the rest until tomorrow. I know how I’m going to continue this scene, so I know that tomorrow I should have no problem with picking back up right where I left off. Like I’ve said before, writing is a momentum thing for me.
I’ve got some other creative things I want to do today, so this won’t be all the work I do — I want to mess around with my housemate’s SLR and take some random photos for me to use on here instead of stock pictures, I’ve gotta record the news headlines for the faux radio station I’m running alongside my current roleplaying game, and there’s one or two other little things I want to mess around with.
Right now, I’ve hit my 5000 word goal and I’m happy with that. It’s a good start, and I’ll check in again tomorrow.
