Astronomers are wrong. The world actually revolves around cats and cheezburgerz.

My new goal, since I'm now going into the second half of the Tower!Guy story novel is to get at least 2000 words hammered out each and every day. I need to make more consistent progress and while being able to do a 5000 word burst is impressive, when you go three or four days of only getting a few hundred, those bursts mean much less.

So I decided to make myself my own kind of motivational poster.

You thought I was kidding about the macro thing didn't you? I wasn't.

2000 is a good goal! When I do it, I try to break it up into 4 sessions of 500 words each.

Thanks, btw, for that picture of my novel you posted awhile back to my lj --- I have to dig it up and display it! I appreciate it.

That seems like a good suggestion, although sometimes I find that if I sit a little longer I can stretch a bit further.

And you're welcome for the picture. If you want a quick reference URL, btw, here it is (so you don't have to dig so deep!).

Well, I purposely looked for your book because I thought, "Yanno, I can't say that I've ever met, talked with, or been in a writing group with anyone who's ever been published before. Plus, I bet it might make Sandra's day."

I'm glad it did!
