You know, sometimes I wish authors had the guts to make their main characters in a romance story downright assholes instead of trying to paint them as good guys by making the other love interest have some serious issue.
People may complain about the lack of linearity and things not mattering in open worlds but I love open-world games because I can randomly stroll around, enjoy the nice view, discover some random hidden caves, and talk to the NPCs out there while ignoring the main story.
Also, yes, I did edit four chapters today and am proud of myself. Now, it's time to write ~
I apparently can't do anything without giving myself some extrinsic motivation so now I have a multiple-step plan with checklists and everything to catch up to the chapters I should have written last month. I have 7 days to get everything done but I can do this!
Watched some YouTube video and wondered if it made sense to get Elden Ring as a casual and admittedly not-very-good gamer because it looked nice. Then I saw the price tag and decided it didn't matter
I don't know how to fucking write *sigh* Ten years of writing and for once, I am actually staring at an empty page, know what needs to happen next, but somehow can't pick up the headset to actually draft the chapters. Mental health can go and fuck itself for all I care
Spent time writing chapters for a story I'm not even posting yet and made a cover for it. Yeah, I see why I'm behind my editing schedule all the time ... It was fun though
Finished my wordcount for the month just in time with a couple of minutes to go ~ Still behind on edits but whatever. I didn't even think I could do this so this is awesome!
Okay, I guess it's time to officially panic now. 41k words to go until the end of the month with no focus or motivation to speak of. Thank you very much, depression, that was really what I needed to feel better
The problem with making up for a backlog is that each day, two or three new chapters need to be written and edited as well. The risk of the backlog getting bigger is so huge Or in other words: My backlog is still 12 chapters long, they just happen to all be of the same project now
Managed to hit my word count goal last month but at what cost? Now, there are 12 chapters left to edit which roughly comes up to 15k words and they all read like MTL thanks to speech-to-text screwing me over
That moment when you check your word count and realize you have to write 7k words each day until the end of the month to still make your goal It'd be easier if I didn't still have other work to do and wasn't feeling like shit but I guess I can only try to write as much as I can today ...
If you pay for the Amazon Prime subscription, you get the great opportunity to borrow movies from the shop for just a dollar. How awesome! I mean, it's not like I'm already paying for the subscription or anything ...
