auroracloudToday's Writing
I had this moment of epiphany and motivation today which I'm too tired to describe now, but... it made me write. Look, it made me start my novel. For real. I started writing the first scenes and steadily wrote over 2,500 words (in Finnish, which is probably equivalent to about 3,000 in English). I loved it so much. It will surely need much editing, of course - I have a tendency to write too much which needs to be cut out, but hey, that's first drafts for you, and the main thing is I'm writing it and it feels so awesome.

Date: 2018-04-08 12:08 pm (UTC)Jossing my chapter yesterday actually meant I had a lot to work on today, so I put away 1200 words on that.
I have big horrible dentistry planned for tomorrow, so I will probably take a hiatus for that. (First I will be in a fear coma, and then hopefully I will be drunk.)

Ooh, my sympathies for the horrible dentistry! Hope it's not too bad and you feel better as soon after that as possible. But planning for a hiatus in advance is probably a good idea, so you don't strain yourself trying to do more than you can - then if you do feel like writing after all, that's an extra bonus, but no problem if you don't because you didn't expect to. :-)
