find the discipline to write 1500 words a day

Apparently, insomnia is the only way I’m going to manage any real writing this summer. Not exactly what I’d intended to do with my time - I’d much rather sleep! - but since I just cranked out about 1,000 words after weeks of writer’s block, I’ll take what I can get.

I’d like to think I can work all this out before the kids are back in school or crossing fingers I’m working. I’m never going to get my novel revised at this rate. I can’t even LOOK at that manuscript again right now.

Anyway, let’s see if I can hack off more for this new story before I crash.

I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t settle. I think I’m just angsty, but in the interim, I managed to sit down and write 1063 words of a new fantasy story in about an hour. I haven’t a clue about a title or where it’s going, but I hear free-writing is helpful, and I’m always willing to try something at least once.

Now if I could just manage this every day!!
