Yesterday was a bit crappy.
I got stuck in the story, then, as I always do, I changed up my ENTIRE routine, proclaimed all is lost blah blah, and binged on Gilmore Girls. But all was not lost: I was just stuck in the book, and had it worked out by the evening.
Day 2
0930 – 1000: 794. Finished chapter, then had a wee coffee break.
1015 – 1100: Reached the 2k mark. Then had to break to stretch and make more coffee. Had Legend of Ashitaka on repeat (naturally).
1130 – 1245: Wrote another chapter and hit 3800. Hands were getting cold because of poor circulation and broken muscles. Music changed to All the Strange, Strange Creatures from the third Doctor Who album. (That album got me through my final exams at university.)
Lunch and brain break, then started mapping out the next few chapters.
1500 – 1550. Hit 5k. Right hand ice-cold after a few minutes’ typing. Stupid broken body. I ended just as the scene got really exciting. I wanted to write on, but saved it for tomorrow so I start the day all enthusiastic and chirpy.
Nano total 5794.
Junk consumed: One can of diet Irn Bru. At least it was liquid…
Grown-up Writer Schedule: 9-4. Plus planning in the evening.
