Mmm, day 2. I was hoping to be on a roll today but the words just aren’t flowing. Inspiration and motivation have decided to take a day off and leave me stranded at my desk trying to string a few words together to make a sentence, then a paragraph, then a query letter.
Do I feel deterred? Completely.
Am I going to give up? No F(*&ing way.
The morning was slow. I researched two ideas relating to health & fitness as that’s what I want to specialise in. All I wanted to do was surf the net. But no, I researched, I made notes. Wrote down new words to add to my expanding vocabulary, and persevered just a little bit.
Writing is about showing up, putting ass in chair and getting the words written. Yes, they are probably going to be shit to begin with but at least there’s something to edit later on. Much better than staring at a blank page. The next day it’s going to get better and will keep on improving until you are content. But no doubt, there are still going to be shit days.
Shit writing days are much better than non writing days.
The afternoon was a write off (no pun intended). Family friends birthday lunch and organising stuff at home. That’s ok. A break is healthy and besides it is Sunday. Some fun is highly recommended.
J went to work this afternoon so I had the house to myself that means time to write. Time to meet those extreme goals of writing 31 queries in 31 days. So what did I do?
I didn’t go home. I stayed at the birthday lunch and my brother drove me home later in the evening. By that stage I was exhausted and with no hope of sending any queries out.
