So the first day of "Butt in chair, treat writing as your job" didn't go so well yesterday. My other responsibilities (none of which I get paid for) kept intruding.
I ended up spending just 3 hours total actually writing. In that time I wrote 1,853 words.

Hey, you know that thing you wrote that you now think sucks?
1. It probably doesn't suck
2. Even if it really does suck, it served a purpose
Every word you write is growth. Never stop.

I have made the (likely insane) decision to rewrite the first five chapters of Asylum in 1st person POV.
