Write Every Day: Day #11
Jun. 11th, 2019 10:26 pmWhen I've posted this, I'm going to finally start watching Good Omens. I feel I'm so behind, but then again, this is me. The same person who discovered Doctor Who in 2015 and well, you've all seen the results.
I took today very easy, so I'm better now - though I took it easier than I meant to, as I've been weirdly dizzy and weak most of the day. I'm not sure what it is, but at least it's better now than it was earlier, so it's probably going to pass. It can't be heat, because the temperatures are back to reasonable levels.
I've lately been listening to the back episodes of a writing podcast called Write Brain, which deals with the psychology, thoughts and emotions of writing, rather than the craft itself. It's really interesting, the host uses her own experiences as (I assume) very honest examples, and the episodes are nicely bite-sized, with about 15-25 minutes for most of them, so it doesn't take a lot of commitment to listen to one.
I was going to ramble a bit about the topic of the latest one I listened to, but since I'm still not quite well, I'd better leave that for another day. Still, thought I'd drop the link to it here in the case any of you want to give it a listen.
Today's Writing
I did some research reading, and I wrote several hundreds of words of character notes for a side character. I noticed I felt uncomfortable about the storyline I've been thinking about related to that character, but I'm not sure if the discomfort is because it's the kind of thing the story needs exactly because of the reasons I don't like it, or if the discomfort means I shouldn't go that way. I suppose that'll become clear in time - at least writing the notes made me think about this more.
Later I also went through some of my unfinished or first-draft fanfics, and started polishing one of them, adding a bit over 100 new words in the process.
Tally
