There is a beauty in being stuck. Yeah, it sucks most days, but sometimes, it allows you to find what it feels like to write without expectations.
For the past few weeks, I have been trying to be perfect in creating. Taking the right amount of time to draft each chapter. But now, I feel like there is no right amount of time to write the perfect chapter.
In fact, I am trying to work on not being perfect all the time.
Today, I woke up with the heavy feeling of not being enough. I had worked so hard to write a certain amount of words each day and keep up with everything else.
This was not helpful and made me really stress out about writing. I got stuck at 15,000 words for a bit. But now I feel like I can face my insecurity.
So what did I do today?
I took the time to journal about my feelings and made sure I had a lot of time between each moment. I would sit down to write, and they get up and lay down for a few minutes to an hour.
After posting this, I am going to have floor time. Just taking a moment to listen to some music while laying on the floor.
I did get in about 2,000 words today.
So, yay me!
Word count: 19,483 words
See you tomorrow, friends.
