Other Than Scriptwriting

Messed Up a Little Bit

Messed Up a Little Bit

It’s not as bad as this blog title reads. I didn’t mess up like I usually do. It may read like I did, but I didn’t. The only thing I messed up was the number of Sections I wanted to get written today. I wanted to get three Parts written today, but I only got two.

It is all my fault I only got two Sections written today on the second Short Story I’m writing this month. After I finished writing them, I automatically stopped working on this Short Story. Why did I do that? It’s because the goal for this Short Story was two Parts per day. I only thought of the third Section yesterday.

With only six Parts left before I finished writing this Short Story, I was planning on writing three Sections per day instead of two so that I would get it done a day early. Of course, that depended on whether I could write three Parts in one day. Today, I could have done that.

Tomorrow, I don’t know if I could have gotten the last three Sections written. But after today, I think I had a very good chance of doing it. Now it doesn’t matter since I messed up today. I have another decision to make now. Do I spend the next two days writing two Parts per day, do I try to get all four Sections tomorrow?

I also could try to get three Parts written tomorrow. That would only leave one on Monday. That’s what I may try to do. After all, my Mondays are often very busy. I often do not have too much time to finish doing what my brother and I need to do to get any writing done on Mondays.

Why didn’t I get the third Section written today? I had about two and a half hours left today to get that third Part written. So, I had plenty of time to write it. The reason I didn’t was because I forgot about the three Sections per day I was going to write today and tomorrow. I had about an hour left when I remembered to do it.

For once, it wasn’t a bad thing that I messed up on something regarding my writing. It’s usually an unforgivable mess up. At least it is in my eyes. Usually, my mess-ups involve my scriptwriting. Sometimes my mess ups are with my short stories. This time it was with my short stories.

I would like to write that this would never happen again. But I can’t write that. Hopefully, it won’t ever happen again, but I’m sure it will. All I can do is write that I will do everything in my favor to make sure it doesn’t happen again. And if and when it does, I hope it’s a long time before it happens again.
