20 pages in 3 days…

by Beth on December 4, 2007

…or, roughly 5200 words, for those keeping track. That’s what I finished, not what I’m hoping to accomplish. I’m really amazed by myself!

Started chapter 2 tonight, and it has three major sections. Ambitious Beth figured she could do twenty NEW pages tonight and whip out the whole chapter. Realistic Beth had dinner ready to go when the boys wanted it (pasta…oh so easy), went to school an hour early so she could leave an hour early and come home to weight-lift before writing (to alliviate that “I don’t have time to workout because I’m on deadline” guilt) and did take a short break to make some tea three hours into the writing session to avoid burnout.

And now Happy Beth is done. Even though this is my bedtime (yeah, so what? I get up before you even THINK about it!) I feel like I could eke out another half-section, but why burn my brain out? Tomorrow is another free evening, four solid hours of writing, but Weds. is yoga night and Thurs is camp-meeting night, so those will give me reprieve. Probably can do a few pages Thursday but with any luck, tomorrow night I can bang out the rest of chapter two and spend Thursday outlining three.

So way very cool. I love writing.
