Another Month Down
ANOTHER MONTH DOWN
For those of you who have been following along with my writing adventures over the last 34 months (986 days in a row or so), you know that this May was my worst month by far writing fiction in all that time.
My worst month before was just under 30,000 words. This crushed the old record, and it was all purposeful. My focus and energy went to starting up our new store and I had a blast doing that.
So I did what I advise others to do, when the focus is elsewhere, don’t force the writing, let the writing remain a fun place, not a place of pressure. And I did that.
Now tomorrow, back at it at full speed on the writing and I am looking forward to it. See my topic of the night for that and some structures on how to do that.
