Progress! · 1:44pm May 25th, 2016
Funny story. I had gotten to around the 6,000 word mark for My Saving Grace last week. I was sitting there and went "You know, this could be better" and scrapped about 5,000 words and started working again and by the end of the day, I was like a stone's throw from being done. Had to work shortly after that and dragged away for the weekend by friends, but it felt great not to be stuck worrying about papers and trying to distract myself with a game or two while deadlines loomed.
A big component that stops me from writing is stress. If I'm sitting there and thinking about the 6 page paper I got to write, the fact my partner hasn't said shit about the edits I sent him for a capstone or work asking me if I'm done with college and can't give them a clear answer yet, then the last thing on my mind is going to be writing. So now, with the only thing on my mind being student loans, working and getting a new job to make use of my degree. And honestly, after what I've been through? That's nothing.
As of lately, I've been playing Fallout 4 and getting into Far Harbor, that's been fun and during that time, I'm jotting down some of the ideas I've had for the next chapter of My Little Serial Killer: Murder is Magic. I've had the next chapter stuck in my head for quite a while, just need the best way to show it. So, that should go up rather quickly. I'm hoping before June 2nd.
I'm going on a two week vacation on June 2nd and I won't have access to the desktop the entire time. Mind you, I'll have my netbook and will be writing like freaking crazy. Even if I can't get it posted, I'll still have stuff to write out of sheer boredom so there's that to look forward to.
Oh and before I forget, I'd like to thank docontra and xoid for the fixes, especially docontra, who showed me I need to really edit my stuff before sending it off.
Anyway, thanks and I'll see you guys and gals later! Next chapter planned tentatively for next week!
