Sleepy, tired, overall exhausted. · 1:24am Sep 19th, 2022
Been pretty tired lately. Hard to keep writing for a length of time before I get yawny and my eyes start to feel heavy
So hard to concentrate too. After 2k+ words I'm already dead and wanna lie down.
It's becoming a real hassle tho. For the latest chapter 4 I wrote for A Kindled Beginning, I visited my story's pre-published chapter 30 times before I finally finished it. 30 of the views for it are entirely mine, not even counting the ones I put in to go back and edit it further.
I was keeping a pretty good work schedule with my RL work and my writing when I rewrote A Kindled Change and wrote the 6 chapters for Knight of Order as I wrote most of those chapters in a single sitting, but I think I've finally burnt both ends of my candle and am feeling the effects on this one.
Not out of lack of drive, because I have huge plans for the story! Hyuge. Just physical exhaustion I think.
Also, I had quite the boom on my story in one day. Well, just a couple of likes and favorites/read laters, but it it was like 10+ notifications and that was about the most excitement I had since I got back to FIMFiction, haha. I didn't even know if it was still possible for me to feel the kind of childish glee I used to get from writing back when I was in my early teens. Comments are still the best and I didn't get any, but I see it as a consequence from writing such mindlessly long chapters full of not much of interest. Is okay! You win some you lose some. Kindled Beginning is a straight up labor of love though, so I'm feeling self-gratification all the same.
Hoping to put together some art for my story and liven it a bit tho, maybe I'll get some interaction that way. Here's hopin'.
