It was one of my favorite icons from your last set and so accurate for how I currently feel ♥
Then don't! Set a smaller goal for yourself, whether that's "finish one story" or a lower word count goal. It's all fucking arbitrary anyway, and though I like accomplishing the 50k, I also know it's going to be 50k overall, not 50k on a single project. I am amazed I was able to do that in April, and my writing pace was insane for what I normally do. I'll settle for 50k and forward progress on my current project, whatever it is I decide to do then.
Thanks bb! ♥ I mean... the hour a day I spend editing is on the paper copy. When I transfer the edits into Scrivener, that's when I get to my "wtf? were you asleep when you wrote this?" thoughts XD I promise I'm taking care of myself. I had been pushing like hell on my breaks to write, write, write, and I need to stop that.
It's fun so far! This year was the year I learned I love fic exchanges, lol. I hope the recipient likes what I've come up with as well :3 I hope the Octopath muses leave you alone long enough to get your projects finished!
And yessssss. There are a lot of ideas for scenes that don't "fit" with any of the novel plotlines, but are still really great character building/things I want to write. So I made a separate Scrivener file for them, separated by what point they occur in the timeline. I figure I can post them all as a series and keep a master post somewhere. The tone of the novels don't (at this point anyway) lend themselves to including straight up smut, but I'm still gonna write it. ;)
*snugs for you too bb* Yeah, being an adult with responsibilities sucks. I could whine about it here, but it's done now and I'm on vacation starting next weekend, so I'll focus on that instead. Trying to focus on putting out good energy where I can and let shit go if I can't. Until then, I'm gonna write the things that make me happy and fuck everyone who doesn't like it.
