27 Update – Word Count: 0. Progress: Vast and far-reaching

DAY 138 – (October 17, 2016) – Not a single word today and it was probably one of the more significant days of work on this novel so far. After a full day feeling the total lack of inspiration each and every time I set myself to write, I went to bed. Throughout the evening I had not read a word, either. In fact, I’m reading less and less these days and watching more television series (Westworld, The Exorcist, American Horror Story, to name a few) and movies. Feeling guilty about this, as reading is a part of writing, tied together forevermore, I lay awake in bed trying to figure out why the sudden shift in my interest had occurred. An hour later I had no answer but I did have a breakthrough for both the structure and direction of Book Three of 27. It’s a risk, so I know I’m on the write path. I’ll likely fail, but, if I don’t, it might be good. Either way, it’s a major breakthrough and the that reminds me that the writing of a novel isn’t only about word count. Word count: 0. Progress: Vast and far-reaching.
