  • I can shelve a thought for now, or I can shelve a thought for later (time).

    It means the exact same thing.

    I feel like that just depends on personal and cultural tendencies though? Objectively, they both mean you're putting something off for an undefined period of time.

    I personally don't feel that difference.

    i never heard someone vocally say either phrases IRL so super weird to me.

    Yeah that's a little bit more literary. Not something you'd hear everyday, especially when speaking casually.
    I think that checking your word count is the shortest way to lowering your writing speed.

    Maybe it was just my personal problem, but since switching to a different program that doesn't show the word count, I am doing fairly consistent 2k words a day. Compared to the time before, when I rarely did more than 1,5k in a day, that's a massive improvement.
    Possibly bad idea: make a program using GPT that spits out tags for the story you feed it, so you don't need to search through the whole list to find the matching ones.

    Or, actually, I wonder if it wouldn't be enough to ask directly.
    Today I truly understood why some people write 10k words long chapters.

    I wrote 7,3k words in a single chapter (not in one day, I'm not that far gone), still got a lot of things to say but it's high time I went to bed, and I've no idea how to divide it into smaller chunks without brutally cutting it apart and ruining the pacing.
    On January 11th, at 6pm, I started writing a new story of mine, wanting to try my hand at some soft LitRPG. I wrote ten chapters, totalling over 27k words, all edited, in slightly more than 5 days.

    ...Don't ask me how I did that.
