keeping the momentum

I wasn’t able to meet my goal yesterday, which actually would have made up for what I missed on Friday and Saturday as WELL as Sunday’s goal.  I had lots of plans for yesterday, including cleaning part of the apartment, going to the grocery store, writing, and hanging out with friends.  I got as far as a shower and some writing, thanks to being felled by a mid-afternoon migraine.  Thankfully I felt better by about 7, but I am so tired post-migraine that it’s hard for me to do much else.  I have under 2,000 more words to write to catch up, which I feel confident that I can do tonight.

The important thing to me was that I had written something.  I feel a lot better having only written a little rather than not writing at all.  I really want to buckle down and get a bunch done this week, because I know that this weekend I’m going to be in happy new iPhone owner land, going out on a date with my husband, hanging out with friends and generally relaxing.  I have to keep the momentum going through the week to make my August goal.

working through my weekend goals

I only managed 265 words last night before my Friday night plans intruded on my writing, but I plan on making up the rest of the goal today in addition to my Saturday goal.  It’s really not that much more.  I just feel good about writing even a little yesterday, so that I don’t break my stride.  I really like seeing my writing counts progress in the sidebar of this blog, and it goes away if I miss a day!

I’ve got some actual blogging planned for this weekend as well…I set up a great day planner system that I want to share (it has a writing bent, I swear!), I’ve got some new writing software I’m trying out, and I’m starting to get excited for NaNoWriMo 2008!  Stay tuned.

motivation is a number

I met (and slightly exceeded) my word count goal for today.  I didn’t really feel like writing but I did it anyway, and it was a lot more fun that I thought it would be.  I’m tired, I don’t feel well, but I got my word count.  I love seeing that number go up!
