So the horse show this weekend was put on by the barn where I work. While I didn’t get sick this time, I got home at 5:30 (the show ended early because there were so few people there due to the unseasonably cold weather), took a shower, ate pizza while finishing the last hour of the Pride and Prejudice mini-series, and then went to sleep until 7 the next morning.
I woke up still exhausted and after shopping for Wrestlemania (which is tonight for you non-wrestling people), I tried another nap that got me up to a functional level. So I didn’t get any writing done the past two days, which is why there was no post yesterday.
However! Before that I had a good week. I went back to the Cinderella storyline to add a piece there which took off beautifully, and I’m very happy with it. Added to a little bit of character back-story I then realized that I didn’t need the second Cinderella scene at all.
I’m not sure whether I’m happy about that or not. On one hand, it wasn’t working all that well to begin with, so this may be a blessing, on the other hand, I now have even less of an idea what I’m doing with the second half of the book.
I continue to be stressed about my apparent inability to create a full story. I even considered giving up on writing this book entirely for a while, but then I realized I couldn’t stop being a writer. It’s too ingrained in who I am for that, so the only course of action is to figure out what my malfunction is and fix it. Luckily I have another coaching call with Gabriela coming up, so maybe she will be able to shed some light on it.
Specific measurable result for the coming week: 750 words a day barring a complete change of plans that may or may not come about from the coaching call.
