I’ve written several posts over the last few days and ended up deleting all of them while still in the draft stage. They were really just a way to get out some feelings I’ve been having about writing and I don’t want them cluttering up my view when I look back through what I’ve posted. ;)
All that needs to be said is that I’ve been giving some thought to my writing speed and a few other aspects of my writing and I’ve concluded that I am firmly stuck with a critic on my shoulder and a lack of confidence in my ability to tell an interesting story. Which is interesting, because I really didn’t think that was true until now.
The sad fact is that I thought I’d improve after having these realizations. That hasn’t been the case. :(
Today’s word counts fall in line with the word counts of the day before and the day before that. Here’s my words per hour numbers for the last 19 days.

Sigh. Sometimes knowing something isn’t enough. Now I have to figure out how to fix it.
