However, I do try to commit to things by forcing myself to write at least 100 words a few times a week on any project that's past the 12,000 word mark. This year, I had three different projects that I thought might be the next "big one" and they were all hovering around 8,000 words when I started something completely different, and it's the one that's moving forward, even thought I don't like all of it. <br />I like Marina's ideas on rewards for keeping goals.<br /><br />You can do this!

My problem isn't focusing on a WIP while I've got my hands in the first draft. No, I suffer from "what to do after it's done" itis. Like, do I go and revise it? But what if I ruin it? But it's crap and could be WAY better if I revise, and so on.<br /><br />I have faith in us though. We'll figure it out!<br /><br />Make sure to treat yourself for every 5 or 10K goal - heck, treat yourself for every writing day. I know with my last WIP I used watching Itazura na Kiss (I haven't seen the recent Jdorama adaptation) as the carrot driving me forward: I could watch 1-2 episode WHEN I reached my daily word count goal.Marna R.https://authormarnareed.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7571831716628489167.post-58631182515650007782016-04-25T15:08:11.707-07:002016-04-25T15:08:11.707-07:00Thank you for commenting and for the encouragement...Thank you for commenting and for the encouragement!
