Write Every Day, Day #8

I'm not yet doing all that great yet at following the more reasonable schedule I set for myself, like going to bed early and not leaving writing and posting until I'm half asleep. But hey, at least thinking about it and stuff is a step in the right direction. On the upside, I slept okay last night and I wasn't particularly cranky today. I was awfully tired, though; in the evening, when I was done with everything else, I just kind of hid under the covers for an hour and a half. You wouldn't think just staying home is so exhausting, but when you're still making yourself plenty busy on most days, it turns out it is... I may need to actually take a bit of an Easter break, rather than just the regular two days of weekend. Anyway, nothing more profound today, as I need to go to bed!

Today's Writing

I didn't manage to make time for writing in the morning, so I've just written some in the evening. No new manuscript words this time, but I did some planning work around the novel: I went to the character files of the project and took a look at what I had on certain supporting characters, and changed quite a bit and added things. It seems my thoughts about some of these characters have developed a lot, and that's good!

Eveything is exhausting right now because of stress. Glad you had a better night.

I made good progress in the garden, it was a hot day but I was mostly in the shade. I cut back the last bit I needed to remove from an overgrown shrub; had to take a saw to it, so it's gone from about 14 feet tall to maybe 6 feet at the tallest part. It'll grow several feet this year with the new shoots, but come next spring I'll cut it back further. Too late to do that this year. I think that was sufficient exercise for today though...

April 8th - 901 words. Started a new challenge fic which I hope to finish tomorrow, and wrote a 150 word drabble. Quite pleased with both.

Today while writing I have realised that one of my characters doesn't know how to cook and the other one is a shitty cook and this has derailed my expected scene from 'wait how can we get out of here' to 'wtf you don't know what pasta is?' but it's fun, so I don't mind at all.

I also wrote a couple hundred words exploring an idea for an exchange fic, but I dunno if I'm going to continue on that idea or save it for some other non-exchange fic.
