I didn’t write on Sunday for a variety of reasons — one of them being because I accidentally dropped my cell phone in a toilet Saturday night and spent Sunday morning at Circuit City buying a new one. Yes, though I couldn’t afford it, I went ahead and got the Chocolate phone from Verizon. Which meant that I spent much of Sunday playing with the new toy configuring the phone, loading music onto it, etc.
I didn’t write Monday morning because of lack of time, more than anything else. I had PT at a *very* early hour, and it ran long, so I could be in traction for a full 20 minutes.
But I told myself that I could go write Monday night if I wanted to. And for some odd reason only beknownst to my brain, that suddenly became this huge treat. I found myself looking forward to it all day, like a promised trip to an amusement park or something.
“I get to write tonight!” I found myself thinking. Not that I had to write, or that I should write, but that I had an exciting opportunity to write. And it’s not like I’m writing out the next chapter — no, I’m rewriting and existing chapter, doing massive changes to it.
Today/tonight was the same way. I cleaned and paid bills this morning (which I *really* needed to do.) This afternoon I cleaned more. Then I went out, met with friends at a coffee shop, and we all wrote together. It was really good. I finished the initial rewrites of chapter three. Tomorrow I’ll try to finish the rewrites for chapter two so I can send it out on Thursday.
Then I’ll need to actually sit down and type up chapter four. And figure out what happens in chapter five and six. I know the first two scenes of chapter five, and at least one scene of chapter six. Need to figure out more though.
Did I mention that I’m still really looking forward to doing this? Looking forward to more brainstorming and playing the “What happens next?” game? Because I am. So very, very much. I’m really enjoying this messy version of a process, one day writing, the next day rewriting, the day after that brainstorming, lather, rinse, repeat.
Onto the stats!
