Pretty much as I expected, I didn’t make the 100 pages. Â However, I more than doubled my attempt from 2009. Â I have, what I consider, 28 very solid pages. Â I really enjoyed working on this and am going to continue because I want to see it through.
One thing I’ve heard of other people doing that I have decided to start myself is what is called “Morning Pages”. Â Essentially, most people are better at planning in the early part of the day before conflicts and new items can screw up your plans, so you write three pages a day in the early morning to get them done. Â Seeing as how these days I tend to get up at 6 A.M. but don’t go to work until 8 A.M. I’ve got time I currently spend reading message boards and watching TV. Â Writing would be a better use of my time.
If I had done this throughout April, I might have been able to hit the 100 page mark. Â There’s always next year.
