Write Every Day, April Day #26

[auroracloud]

Today's Writing

Not as much as I hoped, but I've been quite tired and listless today. I wrote a bit on the novel, and spent some time typing up things I'd written in my notebook for it. Didn't finish transcribing the whole scene, but at least I'm further along than I was before.

Just now I started a ficlet for one of the bingo cards, wrote 135 words in it and then my brain decided to freeze mid-sentence, so I guess I'm calling it a night.

Typed up some stuff from the other day, making edits as I went. Then I did a terrifying thing - grabbed the first 53 pages, cleaned out the notes to myself that were still hanging around (although I actually dealt with one or two of them as I did it) and emailed them as a PDF to a friend for reading. She knows that right now I am not in a space to hear anything other than "yes, keep going" or "for the sake of the world I am telling you to put down the laptop and go work on another story idea because No" but I am still terrified.
Somehow I got myself fixated on "when I get to this point I am giving it to other people" so I have done that and I will poke a couple other people about reading the same pdf. I still don't know *why* I wanted to do that and really let us hope I don't get feedback in the next few days because it's likely to make me stop writing for a bit when I get it.

Congratulations for taking the terrifying leap! I hope that the results will be useful for you. It's good that your friend knows that this isn't the time for any other feedback than whether she thinks you should keep writing it, and it's really good that you also know what kind of feedback you can handle at the moment. In the past I've had instances of both giving and receiving feedback that was the wrong kind for the moment, and it can be really difficult. Hopefully you've also been able to tell the other people what kind of feedback you feel up for at the moment?

My take on things is usually that if you believe in it yourself, you should keep writing. But I know sometimes one needs someone else's opinion.
