fuck, forgot to post, forgot my brain

I forgot to post this yesterday when I wrote it, which means when I say yesterday (next time I say yesterday) I mean Wednesday, when today is Friday, and the day I wrote this was Thursday:

I felt like writing twice yesterday, and both times I didn’t DO it… then when I finally sat down to, I was horribly depressed and couldn’t remember what I’d wanted to write about earlier. Finally around midnight Laura reminded me that the point is to just write it, and not care about whether it’s going to ultimately “work”. I wish she’d told me that around 10:30, when I sat down to do it and would rather have put a gun in my mouth. So I began writing in earnest around midnight. The whole day I was thinking that day’s 2K would be a breeze, but I only ended up getting just under one.

I was also surfing around on other people’s novel pages (for those of you asking how the hell I could only have gotten 1000 pages in over two hours), and there are some really good ones out there. This guy, DrFrag who has apparently already written over 51K (but has only posted excerpts) is absolutely fucking hilarious. I really want to read his novel. I wonder if I emailed him if he’d want to share it with me. I really just want to see if the whole thing is as good as his excerpts.

It’s pretty insane how many people have already finished. I have this feeling that if I were making a living writing, I’d have to be writing over 5K per day as well. (That’s one way you could have already finished.) It actually doesn’t seem that implausible. When I’m “on a roll” I can easily whip out 2K in a couple of hours. If I had all day… well, hopefully I’d be “on a roll” more often… like two or three times a day.
