Sadly, I had a smaller bout of Writers Block

Again, I had writers block for the week. It was very small, and went on and off, but all through the week, when I could write, it wasn't at the super-speed it was at before, therefore, I only got to about 13,000 words. All this means is that tomorrow, after I finish my homework, I will have to continue to try to write a lot. If my mini-writers-block continues for the next whole week, I will lower my goals until I have another day off at school. my next extra day off of school is 2 mondays from now, and then that week we also have tuesday off...I'm guessing I may get to 30,000 by the sunday of that week. Just maybe. For now, I will make my next goal still be 30,000 and try to reach it next sunday.

WOOHOOO!

Yaaay! I made my goal! I kinda forgot about it until 8:30, an hour ago, and had about 1k words left, a little more, but I was really happy because I had a writing rush and finished writing that 1k+ in 60 minutes! YAAAY! I'm SUPER happy!! I also just finished ch. 2. :D I'm making a new goal for myself too.:

IF my writing rush continues for the next week, I want to write another 10k words, and reach about 20k, by next Sunday at 10:00. BUT if I have a lot of homework to do, I'll understand if I get 7.5k words done. My penalty(my mom gave me this idea to give myself a penalty or punishment for not reaching my goal) Will be to try to reach 30k by the weekend after next, if I don't reach 20k this weekend.

Summary: I'm gonna try to write 10k words a week. If I don't, I'm going to try to catch up over the next week. but, if my writing rush ends, I'll slow down or take a break. I don't wanna slow down though! I wanna keep myself writing!

BECAUSE I reached my goal and have, now that it's about 9:40, another 20 minutes to write, I will try to get ahead and write another few hundred words. However ahead I get in my writing will never affect my next word goal. Even if I just need to write another 100 words by the time I reach the week where I'm trying to get 40k words, I'll do it. BUT if I get to a point where my next goal is complete before I have to start working on it, lets say that I get to 50k that weekend that I have to write 40k, my next goal WON'T be 50k, since I kinda already completed it. INSTEAD, my goal for the next weekend will be 60k. wow...when I reach 70k(if it gets that high) I'll be 5k words longer than my last draft! YAY!

NOW I will write-write-write!

Awww...have to stop.

I have to go somewhere now, but so far I've finished another 1,600 or so words. at about 7,600. I'll try to write more tonight but I may not get a chance. If not, I'll continue after a club I'm going to and before my friend comes. I PROMISE myself that I'll get to 10k by Sunday!

This is gonna take a while...

So, I'm almost done rewriting the first chapter. and it's a total of 4,000 words than it originally was!! After deleting un-needed areas as I'm rewriting, I think my book will be at least 70,000 words long, if not 80,000. I'm kinda hoping it'll be 100,000 words though!! I'm going to get back to writing, because now that I just reached 6,000 words, I hope to make it to 10,000 tonight, if I don't get destracted. that'd be half of what I'd have written on the second copy, written in a night! (and a tenth of what I WANT to write for the rewrite...). It'll probably take just another 500 0r 700 words to finish the first chapter.

AAAHHHH! PROCRASTINATION HAS TAKEN A HOLD OF MEEEE!!

AAAAH! I'm procrastinating. Not by writing this. By playing Sims. and doing homework. but really, homework isn't procrastinating. anyway, I've decided one thing. I WILL finish writing chapter one(in the first books timeline) TONIGHT! I promise to myself that I will write and write and write and STOP being a procrastinator like I am. Eh, or at least I'll try to be LESS of one. I'm downloading pictures onto the Sims site because I write a legacy there, but it's long from finishing, so I'll probably have no time to write the leg chapter and hopefully finish the books chapter. I think I'm already close to done anyway...for the first chapter. I'd tell you where I am but you're not allowed to read it. I'll give all of you...the few of you that read this...the prologue though!! It's just a small thing but hey, it's something! And if you like the prologue, PLEASE have your friends and others read it. Try to get me some hopefully-future-book-buyers! anyway, here's the prologue of the second draft, as of now:

Loss haunts. The pain of loss, of losing him, after losing so many people dear to my heart before is too strong. I couldn’t deal with it if that happened to me again. He wasn’t perfect, no one was, but he was close enough for me. I can’t imagine never seeing those amazingly green eyes smiling at me, those full, beautiful, lips showing white, perfect, teeth through a wide smile.

Without him, life wouldn’t be life, it’d be an empty shell consisting of passing time, events I couldn’t care less about, and sadness, unless I decided to end my life soon after his.

how do you like it? please post a comment!!
