Day Three

I ended my writing last night at 3755 words and went to bed with a headache. When I woke up this morning, I wanted to start writing again but I didn't want to get out of bed. I'm thinking of keeping my laptop near my bed instead of under my computer desk, but the problem with that is, I will still need to pack it up every night. My kitty has already chewed part of the power cord to it, so I have to keep it away from her when she is unsupervised.

This morning when I finally got out of bed, I showered and sat down at my desk to a coffee. I opened my little notebook and started scribbling again about my story, using a "Chung Hwa" Chinese drawing pencil, which actually isn't good enough to draw seriously with, but I bought it because I love the little Chinese writing on it. Now it finally has a use, after two years of sitting unused in my tin pencil case.

My goal for today is 5000 words, I have no doubt that I will be able to pass it.

Today is so hard for me. My goal is 5547, but I just can't get my attention.
