Writing everyday really hurts me to do. I don’t know why this is, but I find it really very difficult. I find the idea of sitting down to write something for 10 minutes really, really difficult. I find the goal of 1,667 words really difficult (and I rarely make it) and I find this challenge as a whole really, really difficult.
I really do find it very hard to churn out more than one hundred words on any given subject. Even now I am struggling to think of something to further this subject beyond what I have here already. 1,667 words per day is very hard. I am thinking of lowering my standards to 1,000 words per day to see what that does for me, if anything.
The real thing I have to do, is just do it. I have to sit down and say, write. You can’t eat, sleep or move until you write, gosh darn it. I have to give myself tough love. Anything worth doing, is worth doing, and writing is worth doing. I would like to make money writing, and I can’t make money writing if I never write. I can’t do anything with writing if I never write.
I have an intricately planned out film in my head. I have had this film in my head since the summer, and I started to write it, I did, but then I just stopped, because writing is hard. The reason writing is hard is because I just do not do it. Ever!
I think a new years resolution is a stupid thing, but I am about to make one. I will try, not just try like I’ve been doing now, but legitimately try to write my screenplay so that it can be shot at GIFTS in the spring/fall. That is thing number one. Thing number 2 is I will try, above amount of trying, to write 1,000 words per day. With that amount of words, it’s still hard, but it is easier. On top of that, failing to reach 1,000 per day, I will be trying my absolute best to write 500 words per day, which is not hard. It’s hard to sit down and do it, but simply thinking of 500 words to write is not hard, so I will be doing my best to write those 500 words every day.
There will be some days where I fail this task, but I am going to try to not let the failing part happen for more than 2 consecutive days. The only reason where this failing is acceptable, will be travel and even when traveling happens, I should be able to write on the bus, in the airport, on the plane, on the train, using my computer, a notepad, my iPod, or the back of my hand. I will find a way to do it.
I also think that accountability would help, but I don’t think people would be interested in my rambling on about things every day for the entirety of 2010. I think people would unfollow, unfriend and unsubscribe from me. I will keep it to myself and make sure that I am only posting the things that are actually interesting, unlike this which is obviously the most interesting thing I have ever posted.
