One of the few downsides to being a writer is the rarity of having multiple days off in a row. Usually, if I have a day where I’m not supposed to do anything else, I write.
It is extremely rare for me to have any day that I’m not writing. To have two days in a row where I could be writing and consciously choose not to… yeah, that basically never happens. It could, theoretically, but it doesn’t.
So yesterday (Saturday) I didn’t have a laundry list of things that needed doing, which is unusual for a Saturday. So did I relax? Watch some shows? Perhaps play one of my favourite video games?
No. I wrote. And that’s okay! I broke 70K words, and today I hope to sail past 73K. I’m getting near to the almost-end of the novel (I think another 20K words for the first draft), and then a mountain of editing to remove sections that I don’t think make sense anymore or to add in sections that I should’ve included originally. A lot of work, but work I love.
So with another day that I can do stuff I want… what I really want to do is write. So I’m going to do that!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
