Yesterday I wrote over 6,000 words. That’s a lot! It took me the majority of the day, but it was a nice reminder that sometimes I can just put my head down and write.
I’m editing it today, and while many of those words will end up on the cutting room floor, I feel like the majority it actually pretty good. For a short story it hits all the major beats, and I’m looking forward to recording it either tonight or later this week. And then editing that recording… the moral of the story is that I have a lot of editing coming my way in the near future!
But yeah, it was really nice to get so much work done over the weekend. I still miss my cat, but the ability to focus and get things done and not be pulled away every twenty minutes to check if she’s eating, drinking, napping… I feel a little guilty about being so relieved, but we were on hospice care with Koko for a long, long time, and it’s kind of a relief that I can put that energy back into my writing.
So on that note, I’m going to get back to editing!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
