A Missed Day

Yesterday was the first time since I started writing that I missed a day. I didn't mean to, but the inspiration was missing, and even though I kept telling myself I would get to it, other work beckoned, and well, it didn't happen.

Don't worry, I chastised myself enough for all of you. 

That's the one thing I'm going to try and avoid at every cost-- the missing of days. I know very well how easily a missed day can become two missed days, how two become four, and how one day you wake up, a year has passed, and you're still hoping to write fiction someday. 

I don't want to write fiction someday. I want to write fiction now. 

I've finished my words for today. Since the 800 came really easily this evening, I'm going to see if I can sit down and crank out another 800 to compensate for yesterday.
