Lesson learned
Since I haven't been writing much I have completely forgot what my writing pace tends to be. Here's such an idea as writing pace? If not, I'm making it one. let's call it WP from now on.
I know each story/writing task will be different but I like data and want an average of how much time I take to write for instance 1000 words.
From now on, I'll time myself.
In the meantime, I'm sure that for every hour I send writing, 45 of those minutes is spent second, third and fourth guessing myself.
Long story short, I should have never given myself only a week to write a first draft of a short story. Maybe I can crank that out in a few months after I'm back in the habit of writing (and quite possibly funemployed) but at the moment, that's way to aggressive.
