Maeve Binchy sets goals and deadlines and then either rewards herself or pusnishes herself accordingly. Sounds a little masochistic to me but yesterday, I told myself it was either 1500 words or 15 km.
Guess who on her bike after her second cup of coffee this morning.
On the bright side, I woke up with a storyline and ideas for characters and a plot for my book writing course. I spent a few hours before cycling jotting down ideas in a spiral notebook and chapter ideas on index cards.
After cycling, I went for a visit at my friend, Hélène's, and asked for a pen and paper. I had actually heard a tree fall while cycling through the trail in the forest and saw two falcons fly off as I was searching for the fallen tree. Then, I started getting all sorts of ideas for the novel. I wish that I'd brought my mp3 player so that I could record all of my thoughts. I managed to jot down most of my ideas, I hope, as we chatted and had breakfast together with her daughter and son-in-law.
Actual wordcount today so far? Zero, but I may not punish myself since I jotted down some fabulous ideas.
