mini_nanowrimo day 5: 1200 words!

No drabbles today , but I know I still owe a few, and a couple at least are Pros.
Will try and get to those tomorrow :)

But, word count for today is good: 1200 words, and a finished ficlet!
More Nexus stuff, will post it after beta-editing.

I feel so good about this daily writing.
Not that I don't write often enough anyway, but giving it a certain type of priority makes a HUGE difference, and I love it. Also, it's good practice for starting to write my thesis once again, when I decide to. Daily writing is paramount for that. *nods*

*is happy*

ETA: ficlet finished with today's words posted here: Nexus Hobbes and Pinocchio's First Time. Kind of.

I feel...it's like a switch in my head. I don't feel guilty because I'm writing and not doing something else - there is always something else to do...I'm telling myself, my writing is important, therefore it comes first. I committed to only 300 words for mini_nano, and I managed to go way over that count each day but one, until now...and I've been wanting to be able, to allow myself to write for quite some time now, so...yes, I find it liberating.

It's a commitment to myself, more than anything else. I don't pretend to have something finished every day, though it has happened for now, but i have so much stuff that I've been wanting to write for a while now...and I haven't yet started on big nano! OPS! *G*

I like it. I love it, in fact. Doing this to prove myself that I can do it, and..I love it.
At least for now, LOL :)

(sorry, a bit sleepy, not much lucid ;)

	it's good practice for starting to write my thesis once again, when I decide to. Daily writing is paramount for that I so never thought of this before, but you're so right! rushes off to change priorities quickly Hope it's still going well two days later, too!

	Yesterday was a blah day, but I'll make up for it today. :) crosses fingers And I really mean and hope that about my thesis, that this exercise will spring up some discipline in me to accomplish that :) (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
