Okay, so today I am supposed to post my new word count for my novel The Devil’s Playground. I am supposed to be 5,000 words richer. I am supposed to report that even though it was tough, I reached my word count. Well, that’s enough supposing for today. My word count has increased by only 170 words. I have writer’s fright. I know. I know. I’m supposed to just write. Not care about the words, for now, because it’s just a first draft. But I can’t help but think too much because I care too much about this project. So all week I stared at my computer screen hour after hour and nothing. Linda would never have this problem.
She wrote her book in a flash. Her agent loved it. Her editor loved it. And from the rankings on Amazon.com, readers love it. I have to stop comparing myself to her. Okay, I gotta go. I’m going to write.
4451 / 90000 words. 5% done!
