Five-Hundred Word Challenge 1484: Try Again Today

So this week just past I decided to try and get ten posts up in one day. I think I’ve done this before, though it may have been nine, but I thought I’d try. Didn’t work out. Might try to do nine today.

There’s no good reason for me to do this, especially when I have a lot of other stuff I need to be taking care of, but I thought it would post a nice challenge. Failed, might succeed today.

What I’ve learned from this is that I am not too functional in the afternoon. The morning, I’m good. I’m able to get a lot of things done. Well, so long as I actually get moving on things I am. The afternoon? Not so much. Perhaps I’m burning too much energy early in the day. Don’t know if that’s why, don’t care to know why. Do know that I’m being a bit lazy now, but I need to get on with it. There really is a lot to do today and so I need to start getting stuff done.

Some of that stuff will be writing. The first thing I’m doing this morning is churning out a bunch of things. I’ll take a step back after and then get back to it a bit later, but might space things out a bit. That way I don’t burn out too much… hopefully.

Why am I even writing about this? Surely there are other, far more interesting and important things to cover. Surely I can think of other ways to go with this bit of writing. I guess I could get a bit more into the why I’m talking about this thing I attempted this week, but that… I don’t know.

Really, what else is there to say? Or rather, what else is there that I could want to say? I’ve covered it all. I’ve said all there is for me to say at the moment.

Sometimes I wonder why I try to do some things. It’s not exactly an ambitious thing to achieve, this particular one, but I still wonder as to why I set out… sometimes. I don’t always. It is good to wonder at times. It helps with the brain juices, but it’s not always good… maybe. I don’t know.

At least, for now, I know what I’ll be doing today. I also know that it almost is the afternoon and if I don’t finish this now, then I won’t be able to claim that I started this morning, and that will be some sort of disaster, or something. Maybe. Who knows.

So I’m going to try again today. I’m going to see if I can do it at the present moment. I’m sure I can, and I will if I work on it, but I do need to work on it. I need to actually go ahead and try, and keep trying, and try some more. Once done? I might just try again during the coming week.

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 06:20:19

Some stumbling, but got there in the end.

Written at home.
