Daily Writing Journal - my urban lit African American romance. - #14 Progress - but need to space out the time. New Synopsis
Wow! I did some writing but I suspect it's much harder because of the expectations I have for myself. Writing for publication means I need to hit a minimum standard so I'm going to work at it. Really work at it.
Right now I'm still in the club so maybe it will have to be a scene a week. I have 60 scenes. This means it will take me over a YEAR! OH my! OVER A YEAR but I want to write something decent.
I guess it's looking at things realistically. Work is 7-to-5 averaging about 35-40 hours a week. Then travel time so basically in the day I probably only have about an hour free for writing. All writing.
This doesn't take into consideration other stuff. So an hour a day. I need to set this time. Weekends I have probably do about two hours so in total I have about 9-10 hours a week to commit to writing or free time. What if I have other things I want to do? Okay keep this blog update at 15 minutes only. Which means no prep, no thing.
But with quality writing (for me), I also need to do practice drills to keep the craft up. This include plotting, description and characterisation plus scene planning.
WHAT TIME? I need to LOCK myself down to a TIME....I'll try evenings 7.30pm to 8.30pm unless I have an evening event then I'll do something in the morning. I always feel a bit restricted tying myself down to a time but it's only a target and it can be flexed. Once I meet the hour a day.
NO SOCIAL MEDIA! This is going to be hard - but needs must. I need to write something I'll be okay publishing. Maybe I can do a Saturday morning catchup?
Let's roll with the synopsis. I've been a bit slack with that at present.
