Sat down today to write trying to be strict with myself. Whenever I stood for any reason or did anything other than writing, I refused to count the time toward my 50-hour goal. After I finished, I had 3 1/2 hours under my belt for the day, my best day this month.
As I see it now, I failed to notice that I was actually making two goals. The obvious one was to write 50 hours of fiction. So far, I am almost at the halfway point with 23 hours and 45 minutes completed.
To be on pace to hit 50, I should be at 21 hours and 40 minutes. So I'm doing all right on that front.
The other goal was the match beer consumption with my writing. The so-called "beer-hour." That goal was going jusssst fiiiiiine . . . until I went to the pool party at the Hilton on Thursday night.
So now I really have to focus on finishing 50 hours this morning or the whole thing will be a big bucket of failure.
On the bright side, while writing chapter 2 I started working on a character that I really like. The best part is I'm not sure whether this guy is good or evil or neutral. I like not knowing.
Oh, and I saw a movie called "Arbitrage" starring Richard Gere. Quite a good flick! Without a doubt, it was the best movie that has been in the UAE since early September. Then again, that's not saying much.
