The first day I hit it pretty easily. The second day was rough. But a day like that is exactly why I need a word count because when I pushed myself I FINALLY got it. Granted, it was 10:30 at night. But I got it. Yesterday I had my 2000 by 11am. So it just kind of depends. I decided to tell family and friends about my commitment and that has really helped. I didn't do that before because I think I was afraid that I would have to REALLY do it, no matter what. So, once I got out of my own way... things are going nicely.
I am trying to read a lot lately, which I really believe helps with my writing. I read a large variety of genres and authors, and that helps a lot too. I'm in a book club and this month's book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, which surprisingly I haven't read and I'm excited about. I have also started next month's book, Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare because I am moderating next month, so want to be ready. For my psychological thriller, I'm reading Thr3e by Ted Decker.
I also try to watch good movies, and I find that I pick up on different things from doing that. On Sunday my husband and I watched The Godfather. I hadn't seen it, which is unacceptable. Fantastic movie, of course. I'm excited to see the next two. Yesterday for my lunch break, I watched "The Machinist," with Christian Bale. I can't believe how much weight he lost for the part! Holy hell, he was skin and bones- literally. Crazy movie!
I swear its good for me to be exposed to a lot of books and movies while I'm writing. Yes, for my job, I get to read lots of great books and watch movies, all in the name of research. :)
A MONTH OF OBSESSION... continues.....
