We have a new mall here in the Reno area,  The Legends at Sparks Marina –  it opened a few weekends ago and Val and I have not been out there, so we thought that we would check it out.  They have quite a few new stores so that is exciting.

My initial writing goal of 200 pages by Sunday (today) is pretty unreasonable at this point  I may have set the bar a little high.  Last night I cranked out 500 words and hit 50,000 total words.  I am up to page 170.  That is not as great as I would have imagined but at least I am writing.

I am amending my goal.  It is simply this:  Today I will write.

Now that I can do regardless of whatever else I am doing.  Sometimes I get all hyped up and lose my focus.  The most important thing is that write, every single day, period.  It doesnt matter how much and I have found that when I set a page quota or goal I usually have trouble hitting it whereas if I just sit down with the intention of doing as much as I can do…as much as flows out of me it usually ends up meeting or exceeding any goal I would have set.  Funny how the mind works eh?

I am tired today but I feel good, I feel positive and satisfied with my progress.  I will get there but I can’t beat myself up or try to force it that is the quickest way to failure.

So until next time – “don’t worry, be happy!”
