writing and it is hard to keep writing once I start. Which is harder? My writing concentration muscles are weak. Doing it for about an hour (which isn’t even writing that whole time, a lot of it is spent goofing off) is about my limit at the moment. I would like to make my writing muscles stronger. I would like to practice having the thought to google something and not acting on it. I would like to practice not obsessively checking my word count in Scrivener during the writing process. I would like done or not done for the day to have some other indicator, not just word count — and not just time. A sense of inner completeness, perhaps, or getting the characters through certain passages that I planned out beforehand. Having a word count goal seems like weighing myself on the scale. Not always such a good indicator of fitness or how at home I feel in my body. I want to be at home in this book and in this process for the duration.
