May. 18th, 2010 10:57 pmPersistence, baby. And a reinforcement of yesterday's lesson. To wit: that my feelings about the novel have nothing to do with the objective quality of the work. Yesterday I was feeling pretty good about it. Today? Not so much. And I got bogged down, and only managed to produce about 2,000 words.
Until just now. I planted my butt in front of my computer and kept writing until I reached 3,000 words for the day. Go me!
Heinlein's Rule # 1 at work: You must write! I have writ! And I am pleased by that.
Another 20,000 words or so and I'll have this baby ready to give a good going-over before letting my lovely and talented wife read it and tell me what she thinks.
