I hit the end of week 2 of the couch to 5k today, and I also hit 50k words on my story today. It seems like the more I write, the larger the story becomes. I'm half way through a scene that I hadn't even thought up before it spilled out on the paper and now I'm at somewhat of a loss on what's happening. But the more I write the more comfortable I am with the story doing its own thing. It tends to be better than what I thought up. Its richer!
I just wish I were closer to being done and able to start on the next story. I thought I'd be done by the end of this month, but its not going to happen. Last week I eeked out nearly 8k words, and today I'm struggling to do 1k. I wish I could consistently hit 2k+. Maybe I need to take more time at home to get it done. I never write on the weekends, or if I do, its to revise stuff I have already done.
I have one more chapter to 'fix' that I wrote a couple years ago, and then I'll start letting my wife read through it and tell me what she thinks. I'm wondering if she will like it. It has some dark parts that I'm she'll not like much, but hopefully in the end she'll be intrigued enough to want to know what happens next in the story.
But that's it. Maybe I'll write a little more and get past this little detour and on to the big picture....
