Got stuck writing this morning. Then I got distracted by work during non-work hours. Then I got distracted by the lovely weather. Then had a meeting about some new freelance work, which was great, but now I’m feeling off course for the rest of the day and still haven’t written my total 1,000 words. I need to get back on track.

So I ran around the high school track for a bit to gather my thoughts for what comes next in my chapter — at a bit of a transition stage and having trouble getting it to move smoothly. I never could really write late at night. Even during college, I never pulled an all-nighter. I always made sure my papers were done by 9 at the latest. I just feel dumbed down a bit at night. Can’t concentrate after 10. Not sure I’ll be able to meet my goal today, but will try.

Right now.

Today I woke up with the sinking feeling that everything I’ve written so far is awful. It took everything in my power not to go back and read and edit. I wonder if these self-doubts about ever being good enough to write will ever go away.

Oh well. Keep writing. No stopping.

Let’s go.
