Other Than Scriptwriting

Should Have Been At Least Three

Should Have Been
At Least Three

So far, I still haven’t gotten a prompt from the second Short Story contest I have been writing for whenever possible. That isn’t unusual for this contest. It can be a week before a prompt comes out. And there may not be a prompt for this month too.

As for the WDC Short Short Story contest this month, I got two sections/parts written for it today. It should have been at least three, though. After all, without a stolen car, I have the whole day to work on this Short Story. Why didn’t I get more parts/sections written today?

I think that it’s because of my car being stolen. It’s not a lack of sleep or what my brother and I needed to do today. My brother and I didn’t have anything to do today because our car was reprossed illegally. At least I think it was. I’m still very furious about that.

It's not a lack of sleep either. After all, I got about seven and a half hours of sleep last night. That should have been plenty of sleep. So, why did I have some problems staying awake today? I think it was because of a lack of concentration. What other reason could there be?

As soon as I got up today, I started working on this Short Story. I brought it up on my laptop. And I was ready to start working on it. But it took me about two hours to begin writing it. Why did it take me so long to get started? I think it was a form of a lack of concentration.

I knew what I wanted to write. but I had a lot of problems doing it. Sometimes I have a problem getting started with my short stories, sections/parts, Story Outlines and Scene Outlines for my scriptwriting, etc. This is one of those times. That was part of my problem today.

The main problem I had today was I couldn’t concentrate on my writing. I keep dozing off. And I don’t know why. The only thing that I can think of as to why is a lack of concentration. Hopefully, this won’t stay a problem. Then again, it might. After all, I’m still furious about my car.

That may be a problem for me not getting more parts/sections written for this Short Story today. I’m still furious about what happened to our car yesterday. I thought that I was getting over it. But I know I will never be over it. It’s something I will have to learn to live with.

Tomorrow is another day. Hopefully, I can get more writing done tomorrow than I did today. It all depends on how I feel tomorrow. Will it be like yesterday or more like today? Of course, I want it to be better than today. but I will be happy if it’s a duplicate of today.

Minus the problems I had today. I want to get as much writing as I can every day. Sometimes that’s easy to do. But usually, some problems prevent me from doing it. hopefully, I won’t have these problems or similar ones tomorrow and beyond. But I’m not counting on that.
