after a really stressy weekend, for various reasons, and not being able to write Fri or Sat, I got 5,000 words done yesterday. Not on what I really should be working on, but still.

Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

Rewrote the first things I wrote from my first novel today.  Dear gods did I suck back then.  Turned out to be about 1500 words long when done.  Feels much better.

Had to pause do to a double shift, those 16 hour work days don't leave a lot of time for writting!

141k down.

The little admiral is done making his impassioned plea to his current crew, and in the middle of a little verbal smack down on his first officer.  Truly the petty victories are the best.  Those pesky major ones are just too stomach churning.  hahahahah

142k down.

Another thousand words last night.  Not a huge amount, but they where words happening between the scenes that really interest me, and those are always the sections that are Work rather than Play.  Hard to get started on, hard to not find an excuse to indulge in some distraction (I need to know more about VEI 8 eruptions, the Siberian Traps, or cometary impacts!  I'm going to watch a documentary!  But it's research!)

When I'm on a scene that I'm excited about, I'll hammer through two or three thousand at a sitting while giggling and rolling my eyes like a mad prophet.

I'm reaching the end of my tale, but I fear it will turn into a novella rather than a full length novel. I know how the story ends and I don't see it going far past 40k. Sadly though now that I'm finally almost finished the world seems to be against me. I've only gotten maybe 2k words this week.

Now I don't feel so worried about my own behaviour.

Even one word in the right place is progress, Darkshore.

WTG TDK!

A little editing has happened. It was good.

All part of the service.

Seriously though... it's a good thing my apartment has a huge living room and a ginourmous sitting room connected because sometimes I'll hop up from my laptop and pace while juggling words, then scamper back and hammer some more.  Then hop up and pace again while talking to myself.

What can I say, some parts of writing are pretty damn fun.

Yup!
At least I don't feel so bad about freaking out the other bus passengers now.

I like to write in my free time, but can never seem to complete any of my stories.
