Write two projects at the same time. One more light-hearted, and the other one with light comedic undertones, but with the setting that will be resolved in the sequel. Today is the third day in a row, where I crank up 9k words. I don't know why, but I don't feel as tired after 9k and about 600 words on top, as I do after 10k, and about 600 words on top. Honestly, 5k written unceasingly are more tiring than 9k words. :sweating_profusely:

It also helps to split your writing sessions into 3k word ones. I watch What we do in the shadows (Vampire comedy) between the sessions.
Bah! Long live pulp and the novelette!
