It... does not feel like Day Three. I'm not sure how okay I am with it only being Day Three. (breathes)
Today's problems were... myriad. First, there was Work. Normally, work is nice and smooth, but today I got an assignment that had me wishing for Tylenol. I really don't like taking 'most anything in a pill format, so that should tell you how big my headache got. The Boss of my Boss, in his genius, asked me to compare two things that don't exist. Yeah. Ouch. And the people at a certain office were asking for Flash Files in a paper format? I don't know what they think a flash file is, but... @.@ Oi.
Then there was simply that I didn't want to write lol. It started smoothly. Very smoothly, actually. But then I got into parts that, when reading, would make me slap the back button so quickly you'd think I'd seen my grandparent's sex tape. At one point, I was crying over this lol. People kept poking their heads into my office to make sure I was okay, and I had to explain that I was fine, I just had to look this thing up and I'm being mean to my characters and BAAAAW.
It was kind of awesome, in a "I will never live this down" kind of way.
The really amusing thing is that I finally opened my plan back up, and according to it I am on...
(dramatic pause)
...Scene Two.
See, both of the things I focused on today weren't in the plan. I absolutely had no intention of putting them to the page. But then I realized that I couldn't do what I'm doing and not have them. It technically worked for the plot, but it was pretty unsatisfying and, bluntly, a cop-out. So I sucked it up and wrote what I really didn't want to write.
However! The blood, sweat, tears and Google paid off. Today's total is 8,340, which means I have written 3,291 since yesterday. Seeing as tomorrow's quota is 6,668, I'm creeping ahead of schedule. *\o/*
Since you all got two days of writing again, I will give you two scenes again. Once more! Spoilers!
