Who Makes the Rules Around Here?

I definitely should have started this earlier - and thought of a topic - because once again, I’m pressed for time and won’t be able to write a vignette. Now I’m beginning to wonder if it ‘counts’ to just write down a few sentences and call it ‘a writing’.


Since there were no real rules laid out at the beginning of this, I suppose I can include whatever I want and call it ‘a session’ - which is what I’m about to do. 
 Still, there’s some niggling bit of discomfort about it that tells me it’s wrong; that a ‘real’ entry consists of something more than just typing out a few sentences.


At the same time, I don’t think I want to alter anything at the moment, rule-wise, as I’m having enough trouble just keeping my commitment to do this every day. If I add the additional pressure of having to actually write a vignette, I may cause myself to skip a day out of sheer frustration - or worse - panic. The last thing I need is to discourage myself from sitting down here and putting at least something down - anything, really.


How long ago was it that I suggested (to myself) that I needed to build up a supply of possible subjects on which to write, alleviating at least some portion of the difficulty? I don’t remember. But I haven't done it yet and I need to do it soon.  What I do know is that my time has run out and I must run. Pity. As I was just beginning to warm up…
