Other Than Scriptwriting

Seven Only Now

Seven Only Now

A whole lot better than yesterday. Of course, a single word would have been better than yesterday. After all, I didn’t get any writing done on my WDC Short Story yesterday. Today wasn’t too much better, though. I only got about four hundred words written today. That’s better than yesterday. But it’s not that much better.

Why didn’t I get more written today? What is the usual reason why I don’t get more written in a day than I thought I should? That’s right, it’s because of what my brother and I had to do today. We were going to return to our old place yesterday. But we did it today instead.

Both days I had to get up early to return to our old place. But we had too much to do around our new place. So, we didn’t go there yesterday. Instead, we returned there today. unfortunately, we were there a lot longer than we usually are. As a result, I didn’t have too much time today to get any writing done.

How did my getting up early affect my writing today? It’s because yesterday morning I only got about six hours of sleep. That’s one reason I didn’t get any writing done yesterday on my WDC Short Story. Last night I only got about five hours of sleep.

With only about five hours of sleep, I’m kind of surprised I got about four hundred words written today. I didn’t feel sleepy or tired today. But I did have some problems with a lack of concentration. Most of the time, I knew what I wanted to write, but I didn’t know how to write it. That was another reason why I didn’t get more writing done today.

It wasn’t just knowing what I wanted to write or how to write it, though. Sometimes it was the way I wanted to write it. I had a lot of problems in that respect too. After all, I didn’t know how to write it so that it sounded good. Does that make any sense to anyone but me?

I was hoping that I would get at least three sections written today. But I only got two parts written. If I had another couple of hours, I probably would have gotten another section written today. All I had was about four hours of writing time today. But because of everything that happened the last couple of days, I didn’t get more written today.

Hopefully, I can do better tomorrow. I do know one thing though. No matter how many parts I get written tomorrow, I won’t get this Short Story finished before Monday or Tuesday. Of course, I could get it done this weekend. But I doubt I will be doing that.

The only way I could get these seven sections written this weekend is if I got three parts in one day and four in the other. I may get three sections written in one or both days. But I doubt I could get four parts. The only way I could do that is if I went Cold Turkey. And I don’t want to do that. It’s not that bad yet.
