I did not meet the goal of 1667 words yesterday, but I came close. Not a bad start. I need to finish my bullet journal tracker, though…
I let my sister know my plans to try again this year. So I now have some accountability as, due to my current employment status, I can only afford to go to the coffee shop once per day (if even) and must decide daily if it’s more important to write or socialize. She’ll keep me honest. Hopefully, the interview tomorrow will yield results.
I’m revisiting one of my earliest stories. I just skipped most of the intro chapters, as I can’t decide if I want to keep it the full isekai it was over 15 years ago when I wrote the initial one page idea down, or if I want to tweak it. It’s a lot easier to write a first draft when you allow yourself to summarize and put notes in the story itself as needed.
Yes. You read that right. I’ve been sitting on this particular story idea since… high school? Either freshman or sophomore year. I’d have to dig out the old notebooks to be sure. I come back to it every so often, and while I actually have a rough idea of how the whole story goes (for once), I kept getting caught in the details. Not this time, though! I’m just gonna hot the story beats and clean everything up later. Like you’re supposed to.
146 words in, hoping to hit 1000 before I go home and work on chores. Will keep you updated.
