Today, I am about to start my 100th day of writing Bryony's Market. That's 100 days of writing, not 100 days since I started. If I count the number of days since I actually began the story, we're looking at... carry the one... 789 days. (That's not a very good record, but that's not my point.)
The point is what it is possible to accomplish in a little more than three months of daily effort. And not a great deal of daily effort. Each day gets me a little bit further than I was the day before, until suddenly, I'm more than 160k down the road.
I look forward to a time that I no longer doubt that I'm making progress, when I write for the sake of writing, and I don't have to worry about pushing myself past the questioning voice that asks if I'm really accomplishing anything. And I think the best way of getting past that voice is one day at a time.
So now, back to the story.
