Camp NaNo, Day 8

Words Written: 980
Total: 9,784


Having a bad brain day today.

I honestly have no idea how I came this close to making word count for the day. I finished the scene in Seven Seas of Rhye I was working on, and though I'm only 20 words short of my daily goal, I don't have it in me. I keep thinking that all of this is garbage and there's no point in continuing it, but I keep slogging through anyway.

I can edit garbage. I need to remind myself of this. Until I get the entire story out, I can't move on to the next parts I really want to write (dragging the Rangers kicking and screaming into Infinity War). I know this. I just wish it was easier to make the emotional parts of my brain accept it.

Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I feel you on the bad brain day :\ I couldn't write for more than 20 minutes yesterday. And that's 100% ok because you and I have definitely had productive days, so it's possible - maybe just not right now.

AND DAMN STRAIGHT YOU CAN EDIT SHIT. What was it I told you a while back? Something about taking your shit and turning it into manure? Yeah, do that! You can't grow flowers if you got no foundation and stuff. Make that shit and let that shit be shitacular!

ok I'll stop now

Proud of your progress, bb. And you should be too! 💕
