Day 52 since starting this project. Page 42.
Days outlining:15
Days drafting:11
Total days writing: 26
Days not writing: 26
Okay, I was going to have the day off, but couldn't help doing a bit more.
And it really felt like the Curse of Four Pages kicked in. Or maybe I should say the Curse of More than Four Pages. Whenever I write more than four pages in a day I seem to pay for it the next day. Was hoping I'd gotten over that, but maybe not. Was feeling really uninspired and semi-braindead. Managed to crank out today's four pages with sheer sweat and rugged determination (think Hugh Jackman in Australia... Gaah. Maybe not.) Clint Eastwood? Not that he seems to sweat. Now there's a role model to aspire to.
Could I be screenwriting's Clint Eastwood? All effortless cool and inscrutable gaze? Well, actually, almost certainly not. But I liked asking the question. As though the answer could be yes.

Was it the curse of 5 pages? Or was it the curse of planning to have a day off and then trying to force yourself to write instead?
No idea. How'm I supposed to work that out?
It didn't feel like 'trying to force' until I was actually sat down doing it. I was looking forward to getting back into it... till then.
