What do you worry about more when you’re writing? The
quality of the words you’re putting down or the quantity? Or perhaps even the
time? My goal, so far, has always been to hit the 1,000-day mark, no matter the
quality of the words I’m writing. I can always go back and fix later, right?
But lately, I’ve found that if the quality of my words is good, I find it
easier to go back and finish the scene, the chapter, the story. If the quality
is bad, I beat myself up about how incredibly shit I am at writing fiction and
that I’ll never amount to anything when it comes to novels.
So a good writing day for me is one in which I’ve made a substantial dent in my word count but I’ve also written good words.
It was a good writing day today. Not a large amount of words written, but I like them. I’ll keep them. They remind me that writing is a process and that the more I do it, the better I’ll get at it. The 60,000-word mark is so close now, I can almost touch it. I’d be thrilled if I could get there by the end of this week. Stay tuned!
