Write Every Day - April Day #11

[auroracloud]

Despite having a great time last night, I unfortunately had quite a crash this afternoon, depression and anxiety things hitting me in a pretty bad way. I eventually got over it and am more or less okay now, just tired. But it meant I spent most of the evening in bed. Could use not having these kind of days, but well, nothing for it but dealing with them when they come.

On a plus note, I enjoyed some of the reading while in bed trying to rest and stuff. And I think that once I was well enough to consider writing, the writing made my mood better.

Today's Writing

I wrote a little over 300 words on my novel. I also finally got started organizing my fanfics! I took an idea from ysilme and created a Scrivener project where to put all the WIPs in one fandom in separate files, organized under folders by relationships or character, and marking whether they're an unfinished first draft, a draft being edited, or some random bits I'm not sure where they're going. Tonight I did this for Doctor Who. It was fun, and I really do have a lot of interesting stories I could continue working on. It seems I have 15 stories, altogether over 19,000 words. And that's just Doctor Who. Next I'll do Torchwood, and then assorted other fandoms. But that will have to wait until another day, because I'm tired.

Sorry to hear about your crash yesterday, but it's good to hear that you got something out of it at least, and managed to write a bit. Sometimes, the price to pay for good things is annoying, isn't it? *hugs* I'm happy to hear that I inspired you a helpful idea to organise your WIPs.
I worked a bit at my WIP yesterday, but was too distracted by other things to concentrate on finishing it. Instead, I wrote a bit over 1k for the new drawer novel - it's so relaxing to not care about anything and just write on. *g*

Thank you. *hugs back* Don't know if I had a bad day because I'd been active the previous evening or in spite of it - so hard to tell with these things. Could be either. At least it's good that I can still feel supremely good about things sometimes, because there have been weeks when that has seemed out of sight. But writing's good.

Yay for a lot of words on the drawer novel! Writing on without a care is relaxing indeed. :-)
