The high word count goal

really worked for me today. It got me moving out of bed, because I knew that I needed to focus on it if it was going to happen. It kept me moving during the writing, I knew I didn’t have time to think about anything else or quick check email or that one thread on the forum. I let myself WANT it to happen, I let myself believe for a little while that I could do this every day and that I could have a whole novel (draft) in a month if I committed. I am scared to commit to this. I have broken such a commitment so many times before. Yet, I need more of a commitment than just saying I will get up and do this again tomorrow. What if I say that I commit to writing 2000 words a day for the next three days? That will also give me practice on getting up on the weekends to do it. 90 minutes of writing didn’t kill me. It felt good to get that immersed in the writing, I almost never let myself go for that long, I don’t know why. I am scared all the time I guess.
