extra small baby steps.

There are nights when I can eat whole chapters of the novel at a time, and there are nights when I have to say, this eensy weensy effort will have to be enough. It took me a while to move past the "stuck" (relatively speaking, a day or so of semi-writer's block is hardly a true getting stuck) and now that I have, I'm exhausted, realizing it's tomorrow already (again). So, tonight's goal- get over 34K. It's not as big a chunk as the last few nights but it's still progress and it's still forward, so it'll do.

I have my novel-in-progress printed out and it's in a fat 3-ring binder, which is about half-full... that is my "see, you're doing it" my "don't give up now, look how far you've come in just 2 weeks!" it helps, to see the hefty stack.

I'm off to rattle off another 400 words or so and then I'll get myself to bed.

Till then.
