I had my eye appointment today. Everything looked good with my retinas, and I now have a prescription for new glasses! Yay!
I tried to start my novel. I got 455 words in, and I thought to myself, "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing." I felt unprepared, and I felt like a fraud. Some part of it is my internal editor saying, "This isn't as good as so-and-so's first novel, and he wrote it at age twenty-three!" Another part was that I'm really not prepared. I had a very loose outline in my head, but it wasn't enough to get me to finish even one scene.
Cat seems to have had better luck so far, though he's been collecting notes for many months now. I think I need to do that.
