Write Every Day: Day #2

[auroracloud]

Hello again! Here is the check-in post for the June Day #2 of Write Every Day. If you didn't see the previous post yet and are wondering what this is, I'm explaining it here.

Today, it was exciting because I went out on a research trip - nothing fancy, just travelling to a place where some of my novel is supposed to take place in, looking around, walking, taking many photos, guided museum tours, etc. As a result, I'm pretty drained now! So nothing fancy in today's post, I'm too sleepy already. But it was nice and useful. I was silly and forgot to take my sunglasses, though, and the sky cleared up in the afternoon, so I got a bit of a headache, but the painkiller has kicked in now, so I'm okay.

Today's Writing

In a way, today was all writing, since I was spending most of the time on stuff related to my novel project, but there weren't many words, though I took some research notes. But I also got ideas for some supporting characters that I'd known I should have, and I got ideas for names for characters, so at home I wrote some new character notes as well.

How was your writing today?

I do recommend getting out to do research, whether it's visiting a place or something else, like trying out an activity. Although there are a lot of good resources online these days, there's still a lot you can't learn and experience that way, and so getting out to try things and see things can make your writing more concrete and give you new ideas. Also, it's often fun. :-) Of course not everyone has the opportunity to go everywhere, but it's definitely useful to try something you can do. :-)

Congratulations for reaching your goal again! And getting another chapter to full first draft stage is awesome. :-)
