528.
tonight's writing session was not much of a writing session, even though i did manage to make my goal of writing 500 words tonight. my initial thought is that 500 words isn't a hard enough goal to reach. i know. i know. i always expect way too much of myself. but to be honest, once i got to 500 words, i felt like it was okay to stop working. and i did stop working. i did nothing for the hour that followed me reaching that 500 word goal. the good thing is that i added 500 words. the better thing is that the 500 words i did add will go a long way to focusing the next section of this chapter. the negative is that i would have written more if i had set my word count goal higher. this wasn't one of those nights where i came to the office not wanting to work but did some work and some work is better than no work at all. on the other hand, when i came to the office i wasn't really sure what i was going to write. so maybe even though i felt like tonight's goal was too easy, the positive that i should take away is that at least when i write tomorrow, i'll have some idea of what i need to accomplish.
one additional positive outcome of tonight's work session is that i got an essay graded. that is an unexpected check mark on the to-do list. i don't yet feel overwhelmed by my teaching responsibilities and that is definitely a plus.
so tomorrow hopefully i will write another 500 words and be that much closer to having a full first draft for this chapter.
