Well, how's your first day of writing gone so far?

I've hit goal, just feel off about my style again. Kind of clunky and rough. Granted, I expect some of that just because I've been on a hiatus since my mythos story was finished a couple months ago. (Holy crap already it's been a few months.)

Honestly I should just jump back into reading more. I did just finish a short story but the writing was pretty plain and uninspiring. Not sure why the reviewers thought it was super impressive, but I digress. Guess it's time for more Rothfuss!

Dude archery ftw. Sorry your brownies weren't more fabulous. Red velvet can be hard to make taste unique I've noticed--either too much like straight sugar or like nothing at all. :/


Bacon or ham?

To be fair, almost anything is bigger than you are, Hobbit-child. :p

And naw, it's not bigger than you are. You just aren't familiar with it yet. Like GGRM's A Dance with Dragons or Rothfuss's Wise Man's Fear, their size could be intimidating at first. But if you ease yourself into it, and stay brave, you'll work through it easy enough. Ignore the hell out of that dumb voice. You got this. The entire thing is a marvelous journey, however it works out.

Lol, to be fair, the telenovela-esque Cutlers are their own species of story. You're allowed to like the characters, no matter the context they were in. They were your creations, after all.

Laptop keyboard, so long as it has a 10 key and the ability to turn off the damn touchpad.

I am (although you knew that already). Mostly because I like to be insane and see if I can't do it just to get the dang rough draft down. Last year was rough with work (oh the holidays...they can die in retail...) but this year shouldn't be as bad. Granted not feeling time pressure may be my undoing.

I've tried using an app to help with progress and I recommend Writeometer (Android, not sure which versions support it). You put in your goal and how much time you can dedicate, then set it up to remind you on certain days. Every time you reach your goal for the day, it gifts you a guava (don't ask, I don't know why they chose guavas). You can put in rewards for yourself for a certain amount of guavas. I might end up putting in something like 2 guavas = 1 hour of game time because it's something I will want to do and will help me from getting burned out too early. It can update you on your progress, how many words you need for every day to reach your goal, and so on. Kinda neat. It helped me finish my story-that-wasn't-supposed-to-be-a-story-but-it-ended-up-that-way. 

Honestly, winging it gives you the freedom to make mistakes. Whether or not those are bad mistakes or good mistakes is all up to you. It's one of the biggest points I took from college--writing something then scrapping it later wasn't a waste. Rather, you had to write it in order to find out it didn't work. And that is progress. It's so easy to get down on your writing and on yourself, thinking one or the other isn't good enough. Especially so when you're pressed for time and things aren't working out quite right. Knowing that every word written is progress forward--always forward!--helps calm your mind down enough and gives you the ability to say and mean "I can do it!"

At least, that's how it is for me.

So there's...no...magic...in real life...?
