"Yes!" It took me less than an hour. The word count read 1,258. Fifty-four minutes to be exact. I know, because I set a timer to try to prod myself onward today. At the thirty minute mark, I was in the six-hundreds somewhere, and before another thirty passed, I was ready to be done for the day.
I was really nervous about the 1,000 words a day thing. It seemed like it might be a bit of a reach, maybe a bit too much just yet. But the last two days haven't been bad at all.
And seriously, if I can't dedicate an hour a day to something that I want to dedicate my life to, that I want to do for a living, then I probably ought to stop saying I want to be a writer. I think that might be a paraphrase of something Dean Wesley Smith said about whiny would-be writers like me. I'm finally taking his advice.
So, here's what my chart looks like today:
Day two under my belt.
Oh, and I finished another chapter in Sunny & Gray today too. That's eight finished chapters now. Giddy up!
