Two Nights in a Row!

[queenoftheskies]

Okay, this is just plain strange. Two nights in a row, I've ended up with an even word count--the SAME word count--without even trying. Sure, I could write more, but since it's a nice, even number, I think I'll call it quits for the night and try to get some sleep. Heaven knows I can use the sleep.

At some point, I need to try to figure out exactly what it is that bad work days does to my writing...or to me. I've been able to write quite a bit, but I haven't necessarily been happy with it. And, yet, at the same time, I can't pick anything definite out that makes it crap.

Sure, it's rough draft. It needs fixing. Most rough draft work needs fixing. It needs more mood and more detail. I can do that later. So, why don't I feel good about it? Why don't I feel like I accomplished anything today?

My only answer is that I had a really awful day at work. It started out good, but deteriorated by afternoon and then I ended up having to work an hour overtime on top of that. I came home tired and burned out and really frustrated.

So, the only thing I can think of is that I'm taking my rotten day out on my writing, since I can't really take it out on the people who frustrated me. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe I just wrote crap. Guess I'll find out on the rewrite, huh?
