my little secret blog that i'm going to use like a little secret diary muah hahaha

i'm working on a thing

a novel-shaped thing

my first novel-shaped thing

and it is very fucking hard

i have this strange snap of time before classes and thesis and all that start and i've made the decision to write this novel-shaped thing in that time. ninety-thousand words in a month and change, woof.

and what i'm learning is that i cannot work on this the way that i work on everything else. i am very all or nothing, get it done by yesterday, thank you very much don't need to sleep or eat or talk to anyone until this Thing is Done. i will push and push and push until something is finished and i'm learning that you simply cannot do that with ninety-thousand words worth of work.

so, yeah. learning to breathe a little and not try to pull words out of my throat like a grabby little toddler. we'll see how it goes
