Daily Check-in 5/9/08

Woo woo! I succeeded in getting up at 6:00 AM all five mornings this work week--the first step in my new writing routine. A baby step, sure, but a step nonetheless... and in the right direction.

Worked on my idea for another hour this morning. Spent time organizing some of the week's thoughts into an extremely preliminary outline of story events. Don't know which events will end up in the actual story, or if the ones that do will be plot or flashback or back story. It all feels like a game right now and that's good. The object of the game at this stage in the process is to be creative while avoiding the self-censorship traps (i.e. I'm not allowed to decide an idea sucks before I write it down and explore its potential).
