Day Two

Keep writing from the perspective of the protagonist and answer the following questions:
  1. You would never know this by looking at me, but . . .
  2. Every time I think I'm going to get what I want, it seems that . . .
  3. I need to be forgiven for . . .
  4. The worst day of my life was the day that . . .
  5. I struggle with . . .
  6. I cannot tolerate . . .
I got another three pages written.  I feel like most of what I am writing is drawn from my own life/self, but I guess that's okay.  I can really "relate" to my protagonist!  :-)

This day focuses on self doubt.  Watt says, "we may need to hack our way through some old ideas before we hit the truth."  I am reminded of those wonderful days of The Artist's Way with Carol and Lynne, and I think even just the act of writing is so important.  It's hard to do, but once done, it's like going to the gym.  You are so glad after you've finished.

  1. I'm so proud of you! Once again, I have been swamped w/ kids' homework all night (after 2.5 hours of running around w/ them). Wish me luck for tomorrow b/c I really am going to make time!

  2. You can do this. Even if it's just for 30 minutes, please do this for yourself. Remember, if not now, when? We will always be too tired, to busy, and have to many demands.
