Today I wrote 867 words.
Today I also went to work and then dawdled around Trader Joe's so long that several employees asked me if I was looking for anything particular. Then I made a wingless buffalo chicken pizza (great!), ate, cleaned up, and listened to Fresh Air. I discussed my opening scene with Trixie at length. She wasn't too impressed because I didn't include peanut butter or bacon. Then I worked on Week Four, Day Two of the one hundred pushups challenge (my arms are huge!).
I am thrilled because:
1) I am on schedule with the writing, day 1/1.
2) I am excited about what I have written so far. I think that I am using my authentic voice this time. The inciting problem has occurred. I know what crisis the characters are going to be involved in to push Act II into Act III already.
3) My other leisure activities were not neglected.

CONGRATS!!!
I'm jelous. My first day of writing left me with only 450 words and way more showing than telling. I'll probably scrap it and maybe come back to this beginning later. If nothing else, what I wrote will be a good resource for my character back story as I move forward.
Scratch that, reverse it. I did a ton of telling not showing.
