Got My Third One Today

Got My Third One Today

Unfortunately, this third section/part I got written today for my WDC Short Story Contest is the only part/section I got done today. It should have been the third one I got written yesterday. But it wasn’t. And I don’t know why it wasn’t for either day.

It wasn’t due to a lack of sleep. I slept well last night. Seven and a half to eight hours of sleep should have been enough for me, and it was. It wasn’t due to a lack of concentration, either. At least I don’t think it was a lack of concentration.

I think it was our stolen car problem. Even though we got some hopeful news about us supposedly getting it back, we didn’t know about it until toward the end of the day. My brother and I have been worrying about that all day. That may be the reason why I only got one section/part written today. I just didn’t feel like doing it.

Speaking of feelings, I did open this Short Story on my laptop when I got up this morning. But that’s all I did. I couldn’t bring myself to write anything on it. At least I couldn’t until I went Cold Turkey before I started writing this blog entry. If I hadn’t gone Cold Turkey, I wouldn’t have gotten any more parts/sections written today.

Hopefully, I will do better starting tomorrow. With only seven sections/parts left, until I finish writing this WDC Short Story, I still could get it done by the end of this weekend. It’s unlikely I will be able to do it. But it is possible if I can do two or three per day.

My brother and I don’t know when or if we will get our stolen car back. It should be coming back. But we don’t know when or how. Since they are the ones who stole it, they should bring it back. That’s what should happen. But knowing them they will probably want us to come and get it.

We can’t go and get our car because we don’t have the money to go get it. Besides, they shouldn’t have taken it anyway. They should be the ones to bring it back. Whether they bring it back or we are forced to go get it somehow, we don’t know when we will get it back. It could be a couple of days to several days or a week or more.

When and if my brother and I get our car back may affect my feelings about my writing. I’m going to try to get at least two or three parts/sections written per day. But I don’t know if I can do that because of our stolen car problem. If they bring it back, it may be okay, but if we have to go get it somehow, I probably won’t get it finished this weekend.
