Days Worked On: A grand total of 1
Morale: Err, good or something?!
Total Word Count: 99,902
Thoughts: Well . . . despite not really writing at all for the last forever, there are some good things to report:
- I am finally done moving. No more 12-hour car rides from hell. No more lugging boxes up and down stairs and into 60 mph winds. No more sleeping on a sofa bed.
- I finally have internet again. Yes. Full-fledged internet access where pages load quickly and where I can actually access Blogger to reply to your comments and where I can abuse Spotify to my heart's content.
- There is no three, but the list seemed incomplete with only two items. Let's just say that with the advent one one and two, life is better.
Anyway, you also may have noticed how I am, uhh, one day past my self-imposed goal of doom. This is because I failed. Not only did I fail, I failed pretty miserably. The original goal was to edit my entire WIP by March 6th at 11:59 PM so I could have taken less than a year to edit it. Because, umm, it's super depressing to consider how slow I am. Unfortunately . . . I edited about a third of it. Less than a third.
HOWEVER. Something good did come of this failed experiment:
I have edited 18,209-ish words of my WIP!
And I did cut 3,657 words out of that stuff I edited!
And there are only 79,735-ish words left to edit!
*tosses confetti*
Yay for the bright side! I think I might keep up these WIP Wednesday posts until I actually make the freaking goal. It seems fitting. And I like to pretend that you guys are holding me accountable or something. I doubt anyone really is . . . but I feel bad whenever I have to write the "I suck and didn't write this week" posts. SO BRING ON THE GUILT.
Now tell me, have any of you failed a writing goal before? Was it because the goal in itself was outlandish, or was it because life reared its ugly head? Tell me what happened in the comments!
