Weekly Word Count: 21.01. - 27.01. 2013

[eanor]

I have to admit that this week's word count not only isn't as impressive as last week's, it also fails to reach the weekly goal of 1400 words I've set myself. But hey. At least I got some writing done!

This week's word count is 900 words, most of which were written today. Apparently telling myself I need to write when I don't feel particularly

That is a really good idea. If you are not getting anything done on those days then there forcing yourself is not making a positive difference.

[eanor]

Yes, you're absolutely right! I think I just needed to figure it out for myself... This week is going slower on writing so far, but at least I don't feel stressed out by it. :-)

Stress is a creativity killer so less of it is a good thing.

I'm struggling to write at the moment too.I blame the weather and time of year.

*sending you some good writing vibes*

Yeah, I blame the weather, too! With it being so bleak and grey, it's hard to find motivation to do anything... But hopefully it'll get better soon! :-)

Yeah, I often find that the 200 words I forced myself to write while falling asleep are only fit for being deleted the next morning! Word count goals are mostly useful when I'm feeling both creative and lazy ;D

[eanor]

Haha, yes. However, I often feel like starting to write even when I have some free time feels like too much of an effort. So I thought if I had a nice manageable word count I might feel more motivated to write at least for a bit each day (or each second day maybe). But I really felt stressed out by the word count last week, so I'm taking it somehwat easier this week... ;-)
