Writing Update: June 2026
Happy to share I am vibing again with Hell's Half Acre and "finished" Chapter 1. For now. The first half of the train robbery reads nice but a plot hole forced a rewrite of the latter half so that part isn't as polished.
My main obstacle now? Perfectionism and discouraging editing while writing. Reworking a chapter over and over until it is ready to publish is fine for fanfiction but not for a novel that will need major revisions regardless if it remains as is or becomes a standalone.
Goals for June
Participate in Rough Draft Month and write 10K
Try different strategies to discourage revising while drafting
You see I can't be trusted. If I put "No editing! Just write!" on a post-it note, it gets ignored. If I write that at the top of the document, I forget about it the moment I scroll down.
Going to try using a new document each session, along with sprints and body doubling. (Open to suggestions as well!) Daily writing is difficult due to work so I am aiming for 2500 weekly. For accountability, I have to post an update by June 15th. Wish me luck!
What are your writing goals for June? ♡
June Writing Updates
I've decided to participate in @roughdraftmonth's June Challenge (It's picnic themed and so cute!) in an attempt to get back into writing.
I'm keeping it simple: 10 minutes or 100 words, whichever comes first, every day. I can obviously go longer, but I'm not beholden to anything beyond that.
I'm going to be annoying and reblog this post with my word counts for accountability. Expect a fairly long reblog chain by the end of the month; sorry not sorry. Block #Gemma's RDM 26 if you don't want to see it.
6/1: 340 words, 1 hour
school is out for the summer and i am READY TO WRITE @roughdraftmonth let's GOOOOOOO
