In the comic Capote In Kansas, one writer tells Truman Capote he wrote six hundred words that day. Capote says he only wrote six, "but they were the right words."
That's excellent! A good sentence is always something to celebrate, whether it comes by itself or with a bunch of others.
It *is* the start of a brand new week. I'm going to write now. (and why am i always so filled with fear about that?) Twitter me and let me know how things are going.
One sentence. Writing one good sentence is a good thing. I keep reminding myself of this.
And so far the week has not been horrendous. (I know, it's only early afternoon on Monday, but I'll take what I can get.) I hope you're doing good writing today -- I don't think Twitter is being cooperative.

...And it's something I should remind myself of. Quantity doesn't matter so much as whether or not they're the right words.
