types of writing sessions
got on computer, looked at document, was like “fuck this shit” and got off
wrote like 150 words that consist of bloating the existing useless conversation or scene even more
wrote SO MANY WORDS but it was because you were so desperate to escape the Bad Part
wrote SO MANY WORDS but it was because you were so desperate to get closer to the Good Part
got on your document, ran into research issue, spent like an hour on Wikipedia, ah shit
the somewhat satisfying “fixing everything I hated about the scene I wrote the day before” session
decent amount of progress that took like 3x longer than it should have because you were repeatedly distracted
In The Zone and completely absorbed, just BLAZING through a few thousand words, probably close to the ending, probably listening to playlist
Not actually a writing session, just listening to playlist
the session where you write like a paragraph, suddenly realize the unfixability of your current plot predicament, and cry
that weird session where you don’t have much time and you’re super tired and you write like a page but you reread it the next morning and holy shit these words came from the fingers of god why is it so good
that session that is purely just navigating the boring shit of getting from one scene to the next and it sucks but you leave off on the cusp of something interesting and it feels good
the satisfyingly exhausting session where you write the Good Part and you’re confident it came out pretty well and you’re full of thoughts and stuff about where things are going next but you need to let them rest
get on computer, write exactly one sentence, get off computer. Now you can say you wrote today
