Day 21!

I haven't written yet today, but today will be my 21st day of consistent fiction output since I started using Cory Doctorow's tips. I have written 250 words every day, but some days I have written much more.

Observations, so far:

1. 250 is a low bar, but on nights when I get home from a closing shift and all I want to do is eat then sleep, it can feel really out of reach. 
2. I do it anyway. 
3. Knowing I have to do it no matter what makes it easier. 
4. I want to start doing it in the morning, instead of at night, and I am considering how to make that a more comfortable habit.

ETA: Got today's words. 841 new tiny words of fiction, and all mine. :)  

Five Days in a Row!

I keep getting my words in JUST under the wire, which is okay, I guess, so long as the words are happening. I'm a little concerned that every night I get a little closer to the midnight cutoff. I find the story taking shape, but the three pages a time makes it feel choppy, in my head. I'm not sure what I could do to smooth that out now, given how the writing is coming about, but I am constantly mulling over how I might change what I'm doing. Tonight clocked in at just over 800 words. I've done 15 pages since I started. Wonder if any of them are readable?

Day One!

Covered with hives and after a long day at work, I sat down at the laptop to make with the words. I did it. :)

HDC!

One of the main purposes of the fresh blog was to recommit to daily pages as the best (probably the only) way to significantly improve my writing. Owing to outside factors--specifically studying to take the bar exam--the first day of that challenge is going to be July 29th, 2012, and I am going to undertake it as part of a hundred day chain of writing. Writing will most likely take place at 750words.com, and I will post links as I accomplish my daily tasks. This will be happening in conjunction with another HDC regarding exercise, and I am hopeful they will go well together. See you on the 29th, if not before!
