The Imperfect Perfectionist

Today's word count: 1019!!
Words to date: 1019

YES! It's about time, isn't it? May seem like an insignificant number, but to me I feel... accomplished. I've past the initial 1000 word "slow period." Symptoms include: lack of ideas (or rather, lack of good ideas) and a pessimistic attitude where I alternate between deciding to give up, or brutally picking apart my writing so much that I give up. And that's the vicious cycle. The point IS that things might go a little smoother from now on because I am no longer wracking my brain for ideas while staring at a blank page. It's quite daunting in my opinion. Thats why I just try to write stuff down, no matter how crappy, just so I don't have to look at that empty page. Anyone else have that problem?

I am writing this now at 3am so as much as I want to ramble on about my sudden inspiration for this story and what I am planning, I'm gonna have to cut this short, with a promise that I will write a shitload of stuff tomorrow. :)
I actually wish I could stay up all night to continue writing the story because now that the creative juices are flowing I just want to get it all out. -Just so you know, that sentence wasn't meant to be as dirty as it sounded.

But alas, I have to get up early tomorrow and should eventually get to bed. It's funny because I am in NO way a morning person, but so far I've been consistant in posting after 12am. I just don't learn.

Tonight I just wouldn't let myself sleep until I hit the thousand word mark. It's all for you. Blogging is quite the motivational driver. Even though people may or may not be reading this, it feels like I am writing for something, or someone important. Yes, of course that includes you Scarlet, the world's best Motivator.

Right now my story is unedited and I will not post an excerpt until I have worked my editing magic, because right now I am sleep deprived I would bet that there are a shitload of grammatical errors. I'm even disappointed in my post tonight because I'm afraid everything I'm saying is coming out the wrong way...

I figure I should wrap this up considering my head keeps swaying towards the keyboard when I pause to think of what to type. Something that is not an innuendo.

So feel free to send me congratulatory comments for getting my ass into gear. :) I'm kidding... kind of.
Details on my plan for my story will be up tomorrow. And possibly an excerpt just because I'm a giving person.

Good Night!
