This was part of the GYWO's group I've talked about here, for those who don't know--it is a whole slew of writers who decided to join in together, for a year long commitment, devoting themselves to writing. We had to choose a word count goal, and knowing deep down I am totally capable of this, I chose the 300k.
Until today, I was sure I'd seriously messed up. Mind you, I've had a mighty struggle settling into something. My heart longs to write X, but I know I am not ready yet to tackle it. And then, there is Y and Z too, you know? Too many, too many, and I am rusty at best as a writer, not having written seriously in way too long.
Today's word wars therefore were immensely important to me. (In recognition of just how tired I am, I couldn't figure out how to spell 'immensely' without looking it up. Geesh.) Anyway, the word wars proved to be exactly what I needed. And once I post this, I am passing out, and without excuse. I am zoning, bad, but so happy I could soar through the clouds. So goodnight all, those of you in GYWO who are debating the word wars, DO IT! BELIEVE! I set myself the task of doing each and every one of them, eight of the little bastards, and I did it. I did it! How well, you ask? LOOK!
