Write Every Day, April Day #20
Apr. 20th, 2020 11:31 pmI'm slowly trying to edge my way towards an earlier posting time, so I'll get around to going to bed earlier as well. Today I'm all of five minutes earlier than yesterday!
Today's Writing
I took some time during the day to work on my novel a bit. I continued writing a chapter I'd started last week. I'm not sure how happy I'm with the voice in it, but well, I'll be feeling it out, I guess! Plus, it's always easier to edit something that has been written than something not written.
I had thoughts about writing more on the characters and plot of Ambush Project #2, but I never managed to make time for it. I did think about it, though, so maybe I'll get to set those thoughts down on another day.

April 20th - 1119 words, 5 double drabbles and some editing.

That sounds great! The kind of writing that becomes as a surprise but in a good way can be one of the best kinds of writing. :-)

There are worse forms of research! :-)
And yay for having someone to message about story problems/thoughts! It can be so helpful to have a sounding board. :-)

Date: 2020-04-21 11:35 am (UTC)No fic writing for me yesterday, as my voluntary job sucked me in again, but I wrote a couple of hundred words about writing during a pandemic as a comment to somebody and will shamelessly count that, also because it gave me a plot bunny. A PLOT BUNNY! They aren't extinct after all! *sobs with relief*
no subject
Date: 2020-04-21 07:30 pm (UTC)That sounds terribly familiar. The Daylight Saving Time doesn't help either - basically I've already done the work of moving my schedule one hour earlier than it was in the winter to go to bed at the same time, yet I know it would be better if I went to bed still earlier... But it's hard especially because I tend to get a peak in activity in the evening, so it's hard to calm down. And then at a certain level of tiredness my initiative shuts down, so I'm kind of too tired to make myself go to bed...
Sorry you didn't have time to do fic writing, but yay for still getting in some form of writing! You count what you want to count, I say - and if it gave you a plot bunny, then it clearly was, you know, writing research or brainstorming or something. Yay for encountering a living plot bunny in the wild! (I seem to be some kind of a plot bunny attractor, since I've always got way too many bouncing around, but only some of them lead to proper stories...)

no subject
Date: 2020-04-21 07:36 pm (UTC)Ahahah, I see you have one of those Very Helpful Cats. I suppose there are upsides to my not having a pet. *longingly pets cat from distance*
My family had a dog for a long time, and while he didn't tend to go sit on my writing (we didn't let him on the furniture and he mostly knew that), if I ever tried to read a newspaper on the floor (they were broadsheet-sized back then so it was easier to find the space that way), he would decide that was the most excellent place for a furry dog to lie down in his "pet me" pose.
no subject
Date: 2020-04-21 08:18 pm (UTC)Hee! Silly puppy! I can't really blame them: you are very obviously focusing your attention there, so obvs the best way to get your attention is to place themselves at its focal point! Very sound logic, everybody wins! \o/
no subject
Date: 2020-04-22 07:57 am (UTC)Yes, the doggo logic was very sound. He got petted, I got to pet a dog, and it's not like the newspaper has any feelings. No losers in the scenario!
