Commitment

Yesterday I made a commitment: I will write 1.5 pages a day.

Kristin Gore inspired me. She writes 6 pages a day, but she doesn't have a job. My hope is that I will be able to push myself to meet my goal every day, and that on some days, it will be the start of page after page after page of beautiful prose that needs little editing...And then, JFK Jr. will reveal that he's been hiding from the paparrazzi all these years and wants to marry me.

Anyway, I met my goal yesterday. I'm not sure how to handle revising. Since I write short stories (for now), maybe I will write a draft, then revise it (same rate, during the revision phase?). My plan is to use this blog as a journal. Am I meeting my goal, and also as a record. Soon, I will start submitting, and then the rejections will come. That will be progress.

The next step is rejection…more on that when I get some…

So, 1.5 pages, every day...
