So, I have been trying to create each day. Seeing this certain pattern which, I'm still not sure what it means. Seems like I can't keep a steady habit from month to month. Anyways, the goal right now is 5 pages per week. 4 pages for one short story, and 1 page for some piece of flash fiction. So far it ends up being Monday I battle the depression leftover by the weekend, Tuesday I begin to recover and become engaged, energized, and Wednesday I manically write 4 pages for fear of my literary life, Thursday tie up the loose-ends but ultimately a notebook day, and Friday struggle to put out the weekend mindset in order to force out one stupid little page of writing. It's a beautiful life.
Which makes me appreciate the statement of David Foster Wallace that the year he had planned to spend on writing would entail eight hours a day of self-tortue over not writing, and one hour of actual writing.
