Today was not the most productive writing day in terms of adding to the total word count, but I did delete a whole big section and start over, so I had to make up for that and so any advance beyond it is success.

I also rearranged a bunch of stuff, chapter-wise to reflect my new approach. Chapter 1 needs to be significantly beefed up compared to Chapter 2, but I can do that.

I'm growing in to the idea I can write this novel.

Another good thing is that this is the first week in a LONG time that I've kept to my M-W-F schedule. Which, I know, isn't "Write Every Day," but it's what I can do without burning out.

I may write some tomorrow, depending, but three days a week is what I aim for.

@trpeal "write every day" is silly advice. Much better to have a schedule that works for you! 💜

@rowyn @trpeal Just like physical exercise, the brain needs break days too 😁

@inkblitz @rowyn I do have to try keeping a schedule, because otherwise - like physical exercise - it becomes real easy to just stop. So I aim to alternate days writing and exercising. ;)

@trpeal @inkblitz Yeah, I think "make writing part of a routine, in whatever way works for you" is much better advice. 💜
