sherryillkNo one showed up at the write-in today. :(
There was a fair amount of interest so I thought at the very least someone would come but in the end, it was just me, alone. I did get some writing done at a time when I generally am not awake so that's always good but it's not settling well. Usually I come out of a write-in all jazzed about writing. I do writing there, I do writing afterward at home, I usually do a bit of writing before I go to sleep the night before just in case the write-in is less about writing and more about talking about our writing... That usually adds to a lot of writing.
I've written just shy of 2000 words. I say just shy because I'm not like six words under 2000. I like going for 2000 every day; it's my unofficial quota by which I judge whether or not I've written enough. If I get 1667, the official daily quota, that is my bare minimum. I am accomplished for that day if I push it to 2000 words. If I get beyond it, it's been a great day for writing. But if I get below 1667, I completely and absolutely FAILED on that day. So far, it has yet to happen.
I feel like I should still be writing. I'm six words short of 2000, why am I not writing those six words now and not this LJ entry? But even though my time at Starbucks spent writing was nice (although, the barista did get one of my drinks wrong and my hair smells like coffee now), I feel out of sorts. I showed up. I did my writing. Now I don't want to do anything but lay in bed, not doing anything at all. I'm not even tired right now... I feel a bit manic but that's because of the caffeine and it's making it hard to concentrate on things, like watching TV or reading fanfics. I've also been playing the new Puzzle Quest game based on the Marvel universe... It frustrates me because I don't have enough hero points to buy more cover slots and I don't know who I should keep or who I should sell... Someone needs to tell how I'm supposed to be playing this game because I get the feeling I'm playing it wrong...
Ugh, I feel restless and out of sorts. And here I thought today would be a good day... I saw a rainbow as I was driving to the write-in that wasn't to be and it really cheered me up. And the heavens decided to open up and started trying to drown us. :\
The calendar doesn't look bad. And I know I could bang out 200 more words easily if I just put pen to the paper and start writing again. I was in the middle of a scene that's part of a series of scenes so I know what I want to be happening for the next couple of thousand words so it's not like I have no idea where my story is heading. Still...it sounds so easy and yet is so hard...
Why isn't it Sunday? At least I would have had some good TV to look forward to if it was tomorrow instead of today. Today, there's just nothing. It feels like a nothing day. *sigh*
