Day 5 - Whoops

I did it already. I already skipped a day and I'm what...now 5 days in. I'm so disappointed in myself but I know it's not enough. I don't want to do it again, I can't miss a day of writing at the moment, I need to get this first draft finished, I need to know where the story is going and right now...I'm not to sure. Although with every word comes more information but with every words comes another question I'm going to have to answer. And the thing is, you have to answer the question fast or your story has a dead end, a mystery with no conclusion, because if the writer doesn't know where it is going, how is the reader going meant to have any clue?

Yesterday I was on the train and a girl was running from the transit officers and I was upset to think that nowadays we couldn't even spend the $2 to catch the train but we had to lie a deceive for something so small. I was ashamed to say that we were somewhat the same people. I just wish that wasn't where our generation is going but yet again, what can just one person do? Nothing.

I have come to the conclusion that the best thing I have learnt about writing is that when you read something good you have to ask yourself what is good about it? What makes it good? I know that when I read something I like I can instantly pick out the good things and for that I am glad. Glad that at least some writing courses has done some good.

So tonight I wrote, I wrote about the beginning, how it all started and I think I am starting to see where it is going. Which is exciting and scary at the same time. I have to write down everything inside of my head before it goes missing or plays a new tune, I just wish my hands had a better connection to my brain and could work faster...ah if only. I'll continue to write and keep you posted...all you people out there, if there is any of you that is. :)
