alexandraerinTHE DAILY REPORT
Yesterday I went back and tagged every post I've made since early January that mentions a day's word count with that count rounded down to the nearest 500, with an additional tag for days over 5,000 words.
Now, the goal of writing is not to write the most words, of course. It's to write good words, the right words... or at the very least entertaining words. But with few exceptions, the things I'm most proud of writing came about on days when the words were flowing like water. If I'm struggling to string things together it will generally show in the end results. Of course, some of the things I'm least proud of or that have no real use also come on the "words flowing like water" days. But that's just how it goes. The fear of writing something useless or horrible just gets in the way of writing anything that isn't.
STATE OF THE ME
Doing okay. Some random leg pain.
DREAMS FROM LAST NIGHT
None memorable.
PLANS FOR TODAY
I'd like to have tomorrow's MU chapter finished today. I need to post a flash story. I'm not sure what I'm in the mood to write this morning but I'm looking forward to finding out.
