Write Every Day, Day #5

[auroracloud]

Today's kind of gotten away with me, but I suppose weekends can do that. I meant to do more writing, and I really need to get around to some non-WED posting in my journal again, but might be too tired for that tonight. I generally meant to do more things, but I was rather tired. On the other hand, I did a fair amount of walking again, I did grocery shopping (with appropriate hygienic precautions), and I cooked. A delicious pasta sauce that is even further improved by the fact that I found it in a delicious piece of fanfic. Yes, for real. Fandoms are amazing.

Today's Writing

Another day when I did my writing fairly early, and that felt good. I did some more free-writing, which then segued into some surprise poetry, and writing down notes/ideas for a novel idea I've been nursing for a while. After that I did some more writing on the current novel, again longhand in the notebook. I'm thinking I should soon go through what I've actually got in the notebook and type it up, or at least the parts that feel like I can use them.

Yay for productive days! They are tiring though...

I got a couple more hours out in the garden, but first I got some writing done, then did a bit more after I came in again.

April 5th - 987 words. Two double drabbles, finished the fic I started yesterday, worked on the fic I started the day before (still needs a bit of work before posting), and started another random ficlet. Actually, it was supposed to be a drabble or a double drabble, but then it was 401 words and not finished, so that's another WiP to add to the pile I already have... I mentioned to someone else it's easier to start writing something than it is to finish.

It's surprising how tiring it is to just manage your life from day to day! I don't feel as though I did a lot yesterday, but I guess it did add up.

Sounds great that you're getting in both writing and gardening!

It's a juggling act and I'm so tired all the time, but I enjoy working in the garden and there's a lot needs doing out there, so I'll do as much as I can while the weather's dry. It won't last.

Life sees even more tiring than usual at the moment. I suppose all te extra stress isn't helping.
