Write Every Day, Day #14

[auroracloud]

Today's Writing

I've returned to a more regular daily schedule now, but I still took the opportunity to write after breakfast, before anything else, which was nice. I did some free-writing, which turned into brainstorming for the recent new story project I recently got that idea for; I should probably call it the Other Ambush Project or something until I have a better idea? Anyway, I ended up writing some notes for it on the computer as well. And I wrote a bit of something for Ambush Project Prime.

I meant to get to my bingo card prompts tonight, but it was one of those days when time management didn't work out.

I admire anyone who can be more productive in the morning than pulling on clothes, eating breakfast and managing not to trip on the way out the door. Mornings are terrible.

Almost three pages longhand re-writing the end of a scene to take out the melodrama but add a wee bit that will be... not important later, but is a small piece of a pattern that will be important later.

Next scene is a relic of the very different original draft of this thing and I originally shoved it in there with a sledgehammer. Now I need to clean up the mess (and take out even *more* melodrama).

For me, I tend to be really drowsy the first 1-1.5 hours and have trouble getting out of bed and getting myself together, but once I've got myself washed and dressed and have had my breakfast and, very importantly, my tea, and start to be properly awake - after that mornings are the most productive time of the day for me. Early-to mid evening is another good one. But currently I'm muchly helped by the fact that I don't actually have a fixed schedule and don't need to be anywhere. I am... in between jobs as they say, or maybe in between careers - a bit of a long-term project. When I was working full-time, it was hard to get in writing on the mornings of work days, because I had to get up earlier than was comfortable for me, and thus didn't really get over the drowsy phase before I had to get out.

That sounds like a productive day of writing - rewriting and adding things that contribute to important things is very good. Good luck with the next scene!
