Sprinting to 2024 Challenge - Day 3, Day 4, and Day 5 Reporting
Behind, but improving
Day 3 Report - A Day Late
Good news - our house came back on the grid Wednesday morning!
Bad news - not a single word of fiction was written on Wednesday. I had a lot to catch up on with the two jobs and just ran out of time to get to my study. Couple that with my two year old struggling to sleep at a decent time (poor guy finally passed out at 3AM). Oh well. No sense in dwelling in missed targets. We press on.
Day 4 Report - Thursday
I went to my study around 10pm and was able to get around 322 words on the page before my two year old started screaming for me. I got up from my desk and went to comfort him. He didn’t go back to sleep until midnight. called it a night.
Day 5 Report - Friday
Got up earlier than usual, went to my study, and cranked out 450 words before work. I’ll take it! Things are slowly adding up.
The day is young so I may send out another report this evening with the total amount.
‘Till next time.
Good on you, Frank, three time: for getting what you can on the page, for knowing missed goals don't count because another one begins tomorrow, and for recognizing what matters most.
Oh man I recall those days when I was in Writing School and one of the little guys was sick and I had a deadline with nothing written. But you get through it. Keeping it going Frank!
