Woke up around 1030, ate breakfast. Dilly dallied around until 1PM. Not sure how many hours I wrote for, I re-outlined on notecards and rewrote more than anything.

Day 9
Day nueve.
Almost didn't check in.
Today: Slept from 2 till 7. Breakfast from 7AM until 8AM. Slept/messed around on the internet till 1030AM. At the beach/eating lunch till 330PM. Yoga from 330-5PM. Dicked around on internet from 5PM-640PM. Dinner from 640PM-9PM.
Total Writing Time: 2 hrs?
Tomorrow: Time to go back to outline phase and make some decisions. Work off an outline and don't deviate. You don't have time.
Strategy for day ten is same as yesterday. You didnt follow it. You have to follow it tomorrow if you want any chance of finishing.
1. Mac Freedom
2. Writing blocks with countdown on I-pad
Repeat this three times.
Again, here's the strategy for tomorrow:
A: Breakfast
B: Yoga
then
1. Initiate Mac Freedom for 4 hours
2. Finish Outline first. On word, then on note card.
3. Write scenes. Don't rewrite anymore. There's no time.

Day 8
Day Ocho.
Slept for 10 hours and woke up at 11AM. Ate breakfast, went for a swim/hot tub, showered and departed for Owais's place at 1PM. Watched the game from 130PM-5PM. Lions lost. Re-recorded the pilot episode of the Shin Show from 5PM-7PM. Didn't have the same authentic magic from the first recording but it went well. Drove back to the hotel, picked up the rents, went to dinner, shopped at H-mart until 915PM. From 915PM till 11PM, surfed the net, cleaned, etc.
Exercise: swam 4 laps in hotel pool
Writing: Fail.
Total writing time: Fail.
Strategy for day nine:
1. Mac Freedom
2. Writing blocks with countdown on I-pad
Repeat this three times.
WRITING (Always the priority)
- Figure out how much of Trey's game to show. Do we need Vanessa to be intro'd in this scene? Can we get away with not showing the actual fight/incident that gets Trey in trouble?
- Finish Boris in car with Mike (Vanessa calls)
You no longer get credit for updating this. You've created a habit where you do, one that's ingrained in you so the takeaway is that new habits can be formed. Time to form them for the only thing that matters right now: writing.

Day 2
Day 2. You're posting this on Day 3, but hey, no one's perfect. Let's get in the habit of posting before we go to sleep. Yep, I mean tonight.
Day 2 Recap.
Woke up at noon. Watched 2 hours of The Americans.
No yoga/workout. On the plus side, no AFF/Tind.
Did one hour of re-writing opening scene of Legacy.
Left to pick up Jana at 715PM. Din Tai Fung, Shopping, Birdman. Slept at 430ish.
Thoughts: didn't follow up on writing first thing in the morning or Mac Freedom/1-hour workblocks. Never too late to try again.
Total Writing: 1 hour.
Today's goals: Finish re-writing opening sequence of legacy, outline next five scenes. Do so with focused one-hour work blocks.

Day 1
Oh. Hey. This is the first entry of your process journal.
This is how it's going to work.
You're going to write a new entry everyday. Some days it might be a sentence, somedays it might be a page. The objective at this point is not the content of the post, but the consistency of actually posting. Don't worry about the quality of the content. No one else is ever going to see this. And if they do, it'll be extremely boring for them.
Let this be your unedited freewrite.
Today: 12-22-14 (Sunday)
Woke up at 245PM. That's embarrassing.
P90 Yoga: 630 - 8PM. Need to start this earlier but felt great.
What happened between 245-630? TV, food, nap. Need to fill this time better.
Spent 6 hours at the junction. Surfed web, dicked around on AFF/Tinder.
Solution: Mac Freedom + 1 hour workblocks
Tomorrow's goals: write the opening scene to Legacy. Do it first thing in the morning.
