I woke up this morning an hour early to get some writing done, and I managed to add a whopping 25 words to my work in progress. My writing session spreadsheet now has a column for “Comments” and next to today’s session it says “WOW great job.” I should probably change it to sarcasm font.
I think the real problem is that for the past few days, I have been obsessed with a short story that I wrote in mid-2010. I looked at it for the first time in forever on Monday, thinking it would suck and I would probably delete it. But I kinda fell in love with it again and started editing and polishing it. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing–any time spent writing is good in my opinion. But it does nothing to help further my goal of finishing the first draft of my WIP. And due to the personal nature of the short story in question, I would never consider even trying to get it published anywhere. So it’s kind of a waste of time. I need to get my head out of that story and back into my WIP.
Oh how I wish I had spent that hour this morning sleeping!!

I think the Ryan Gosling “Hey girl” meme is getting a little played out, but the new YA-related one is pretty amusing.
Yeah, that is pretty much every main character I will ever write about. Times infinity.
