Write Every Day, August Day #30

[auroracloud]

Not a very good day today, and I was so tired when I got home that I fell into bed and slept for an hour. Once I managed to wake up, the evening has passed in reading and making soup, mainly. I think I should go to sleep again.

Writing

I was glad I managed to write almost 150 words on my Femslash Exchange fic, despite only going for a couple of sentences. I enjoy writing the story so far, so that was pleasant. I'll need to do some canon review at some point, but I'm glad I've already been able to get started.

Sounds like my day yesterday... I am still tired today, but I managed to sit down in the morning, which is always better for me.

I got 180 words in less than half an hour, so that was great. I failed to write it straight down from start to finish for four days, so I decided to just write down all the dialogue snippets I can think of and see where it takes me. Seems to work so far! :D I have no idea if any of this will be usable in the end, but it has definitely unblocked my muse, and I am having a lot more fun now.

Glad you found your writing muse again! I've been trying not writing things in a linear fashion this year, and it's actually very good for my productivity and creativity. Because by writing whatever comes to mind or what I can write now, I get to know the story better, I get some bits written, and eventually it becomes easier to write things that are missing. I know many writers prefer linear writing, but I've noticed that for me it helps if I sometimes skip a difficult part and just write the parts that I know I can write; or just write snippets and let the story fill out gradually in between.

Cool! Neery always tells me that she does that, too.

I can't really do it very well, I much prefer writing something from start to finish. Mostly because I don't do outlines and never know where I want my story to go. That's what keeps my muse going.

But I've been so busy this month that it bugs me when I can't write down an idea I've had, just because it's out of sequence - so I decided to write those down and try and make sense of the order later.

I have no idea if it's going to work for me or not, but it's the best I can do right now. :)

p.s.: thank you so much for hosting August, it's been such a treat to have you follow my return to writing this year! <3

[shopfront]

Congrats on getting some words done despite everything! I'm terrible about being productive around naps.

I managed to knock out my second fandomgiftbox whoo.

[auroracloud]

Yeah, sleeping in the middle of the day/evening can really take it out of you... Mostly it's the exhaustion that makes it hard, though!

Yay, congrats on being done with that one, too!

[miss_morland]

Worked on my application again, and then wrote a sentence or two of drawerfic.

[auroracloud]

Good work!

[sylvanwitch]

I was back to work today, and I didn't get much sleep last night, so I'm pretty drained, but I did manage 189 words of Tony and Steve being sweetly awkward together, so that was nice. :-)

I'm really sorry to hear that you had a bad day, and I hope rest brings you a better tomorrow.

[auroracloud]

Sweet awkwardness sounds nice! And it's super hard to be productive on the first day back after the holidays, especially if you haven't slept much, so congrats for getting that much done!

Thank you, it wasn't a much better day unfortunately, but at least my sleep was better. :-)

I managed 2k of origfic and edited about a page of my slavefic. And then I looked at a flat with a friend, ugh, flat hunting is always so awful. I can't wait for it to be over.

[auroracloud]

Well done! And I feel for you, flat hunting is so stressful! Whenever I want to move away from my current home, I remind myself of how stressful it is to find a new one. I've moved lots of times and it really isn't on my favourite things list... Good luck at finding a flat!
