Been a struggle to write lately. (Especially with a nine month old.) Finally back on track. Hoping to hit 50k today. Been rewriting this project for years now. It's amazing to see how far it has come.

Been a while. Life has been messy. My writing has been...faint. But it's getting a pulse again.
Word count: 47,391.
Goal for finishing draft #2 has been pushed back. I'm not rushing this one.

My writing may be a WIP but at least it isn't as bad as this line from a PUBLISHED book.
"She ran like she was running from something."
I feel better. I hope you do too. Keep writing.

Sometimes you just have to delete what you have and replot the entire chapter.
As they say, if you, the writer, are bored writing it, so will be the reader.
I'm finally able to write after nearly three weeks of being stuck.

Well. Today took a depressive turn. I think I'll skip this chapter and write one in which I can get out my anger on my MC. You know...cause that's a healthy cooping mechanism. 🥴

My advice is, if you are stuck on writing a chapter, read over your entire project. Put it on your kindle. Read it like it's someone else's work. Kicks writer's block in the butt every time for me.

Haven't written in a few days. It's been a nice break but now I'm sitting here wanting nothing more than to plot my next project instead.

Rage cleaning is done...I guess I need to work on that really emotional chapter now. In less...no. No. I'll go write.

Had about four and half hours of sleep. Guess I'm channeling my poor insomniac MC today. Should be a fun writing session.

My last project didn't get an agent, however I acquired some amazing feedback. I've been using that feedback to better this project and after reading over this second draft, I'm amazed how much better it sounds vs my old project at this point. Feedback is more vulnerable than gold.

The fact that writers can use various combinations of 26 letters to make me care about people who never existed and then destroy me emotionally by making them suffer is the weirdest, most unfair, and wonderful of magics

I like imperfect characters. Give me the self-doubt, guilt, trauma. People making mistakes and growing from them. Moments of chaotic madness and feral behaviors. I want the seething anger. The overwhelming sadness. Being out of control of situations. Give me flawed.

Writing a story based off German folklore has given me a unique approach to learning about my heritage.
(Aka I've learned lots of new swear words.)

Sitting at 42k and doubting my POV. Again. What's new? Do you prefer first or third for fiction?

When writing you have to constantly stop, stare at your phone for no given amount of time, then type a sentence. Repeat. Coffee. Proceed to pet cat. Type another few sentences and somehow now a book is your hand and you're half way into a high fantasy with names you can't pronounce.
