In a perfect world Doug would've gotten bored. Reflected on things. Maybe while looking out the window and enjoying that first cup of coffee watching the birds. Suddenly he would've remembered how his old coworker always talked about them damn birds. This would've made him miss the poor schmuck. He...
It wasn't Godot's number. It was a name. Someone from his old office he wasn't close enough to in order to memorize the number like he had with Godot. One thing he didn't do was pick up the phone unless he had gotten his daily call with Godot in. So...
The chime sounded and the gas pump symbol lit up. 50 miles to E he thought.
Normally this thought would have scared him, made him worry. But he added and subtracted and even if he put 15$ into the tank he'd still have enough to deposit...
We have transcended discipline. And neither of us have the desire to publish great works.
Neither do we write anything close to three hours a day lol.
The reason we are consistent is because we keep in touch by writing stories together. Some people send each other texts or do video calls. Some people decide those are too superficial and instead only talk once a year or so in order to "keep it real".
I write story snippets on here as my fun thing whereas a normal person might go watch a

A lot of people I know, including myself, either imagine the worst case scenario or make a calculated evaluation of time.

We got comfortable with the fact that we were being paid to do whatever we wanted -- so long as it took place at our workdesk -- eight hours a day. Still... we never got so fat and entitled to the point where we began expecting it to last forever....
We had three supervisors at the phone bank. Each bringing at least a year's experience.

I honestly can't claim any horizon projects because I'm not working on anything at the moment that I have outcome based expectations for yet.
I do have general expectations for continuing to develop the world of
Westcity
and the characters within it... which I'm doing in the "I found the diaries of Greco" series, but even with that I see it more as practice than a thing I'm horizoning.
Let me know if I'm thinking of horizon projects different than you. I'm interpreting it as the biggest, active project that you are planning to complete.

Similarly to the saving hte best part for later fallacy that writers make, I think you should just write it through. Write it through because then the real part begins. Finding what's wrong with it and why it sucks.
Most writers seem to do a better job with fixing bad writing then creating bad writing. Most writers refuse to write bad stuff so they sit with their phone in their hands staring at

or
Twitter
or motiviational
Youtube
videos instead.
Trust me, your story's going to suck really bad. No matter how great you think it is in your head. So get it out and then let's make it good.
