I have the same mission tonight as I did last night, though tonight I have a little more time and fewer words to write which is always good because I can hit a wall at any time.
Not the wall on the story front, but the wall where after I hit, I dog it for the rest of the quarter and take forever to write to the objective.
Or fail to, because I've had plenty of days where I failed to reached some of my objectives, even if that failure was by fewer than 1 hundred words.
And yet here I be, your favourite millionist, like there's someone else trying to write a million first draft words in a year?
Obviously it's been done before, I even engaged with one of those people on twitter who did the millionizing of 2019, but how many people can have possibly done this even once, let alone tried to do it again?
Even if it's a thousand people who've done it, which I doubt, that's still a small number of people. And how many of them did it in back to back years?
Even fewer, if any.
And how many did it for 15 straight years as I am efforting now?
Zero.
That makes it even more special a doing.
I could have pvred both Amazing Spider-Man movies but I was conflicted and didn't set up the pvr when I had the chance.
Clearly didn't need the movies that badly.
And seeing as I've been hitting the paths of multiple stories since May, I don't need the lifting power of new movies to inspire me to the writing of stories like I have led myself to believe with the watching of a minimum of one movie for as months months as I did before the Virus COVID came into our lives.
I shouldn't say it, because that's just asking for everything to grind to a halt, but this quarter's harvest is easy and I still have two whole hours before I start to whinge about needing to write whatever amount of words I'll have to write by then.
But I did and while I haven't been to Mortuvhen for the second time, I also haven't had supper on Hamburger Saturuday which is going to eat into the good time.
Though the latest count has me short of the 3rd field harvested for the day by less than six rows.
I got this!
What I don't got, at lerast right now, is the ability to return to Mortuvhen.
Is this the much feared wall?
It's after nine and while I've written the latest part of the story so I've satisfied my ambition as far as Mortuvhen goes, I still haven't written near enough words to complete the harvest of the 3rd field.
Now that's not a problem because of the time, it's just a problem because of the day which I want to bring to a close in the next 20 minutes, if possible.
Of course, I was fool enough to choose a longer movie like the Last Action Hero, which I 've enjoyed in the past.
But I hadn't watched it as I was writing before I went out.
I liked it then and I still like it now, but the part where his second cousin died, was stupiid in its reading.
Or was it intentional because there was some points in the movie that could be pointed to as intentionally stupid?
What did you think of that movie? It wasn't critically acclaimed and didn't make enough money for a sequel, if there was ever even plans for one, as it was a movie from 25 years ago.
I don't think I saw it in theatres though.
And suddenly, I'm losing the flow of words and wishing that I had written harder during the movie or even earlier as I am this short of the 4 field harvest and if I had squeezed out a little more writing in the 3rd, I'd be done with the writing for the day, which I deserve to be done with at this time a couple nights a week.
Mind you, the only thing keeping me writing now is pride.
I don't have harvest the 3rd field to be standing in good stead as far as helping the ambition to write a million words for the second straight year.
I just want it for the aforementioned reason of pride, which is just one of the things that is fuelling this drive of mine to write, write and write some more.
Huzzah! I've just now harvested my third field of the day and don't care that I am nowhere near the bottom of the page on a night when it being this close to ten at night means I have less than two hours ahead of me to get some drawing done.
Be safe eh.
