do whatever i want
The other day I thought to myself after reading a good amount of novels on this abundant, delightful holiday break: "Hey what if I write a story of my own?". So it began, the process was easy since I had a lot of resources in my head until I found out that a novel manuscript entails 70,000 to 100,000 word count. Meanwhile I'm still at 2000 words (and still counting) andI can feel the despair already. It feels an insurmountable task to reach that elusive word count, hell I don't think I can reach 10,000.
This despair left me stuck (not exactly writer's block) because my mind was entirely occupied with figuring how the hell I was going to reach that elusive word count. But on a second thought, I thought how funny how a goal as simple as 'writing a story' can quickly turn into 'writing a novel'. Like, my life is too short indulging to such worries. If my story concludes with 5000 words so be it. If my blog post ends here so be it.
