I just worry since I’m a pantser that if I don’t plan ahead a little, I’ll lose steam if I don’t know where the story is going and/or go over the word count. I’ll see if I can summarize though. I don’t want to bog myself down either.

After a long-ish day of cries, breakdown, negativity, and slight fails, I am eager to write a bit even if it isn’t chapter related.
So…I feel a bit less defeated than earlier. That’s a plus.

Posting to Tapas makes me what to lie down and contemplate lonely misery. My novel experience there is transitioning into a sad state. I’ll preserve for a while with hope it would improve.

Fixed my desk setup a bit better than before.
Looks a bit better.
I am not showing any pictures. It would feel like I am bragging and I rather not do that.
Just know that it is a bit better and slightly the same.

I have a suggestion to improve it. What perspective is it written in?

it’s the pacing of the overall plot that’s janky, not an individual scene, unfottunately 
third person close.

Can you give the narration more personality, some amusing commentary?

What do you mean by janky?

the character isn’t really the amusing commentary type, which is part of why i’m having trouble writing her. it’s okay though, i’m getting down some lines i don’t hate. I think i just need to focus more and have less youtube on in the background lol 
it’s just wrong. it feels like it’s shaped wrong. i don’t have my notes with me rn so i can’t look at it real close like I want to, but i don’t have class today so I can spend some extra time going over them.
although really I think I need to finish this draft and work from there.

I am going to write because I am feeling a bit better than yesterday along with the fact that I haven’t written anything Alagossia related.
Later, cool peeps!

Yeah, just try a very high level summary, like tell the skeleton of your idea to yourself. So, you always have a reference

With the creation of my new fictional planet and the stories set in the world of Alagossia, I am GOING to need a schedule for my stories.
Writing wise, I want to be as busy as I can possibly be and constantly switching between stories so I can have options.
So, I need a schedule. I also need printer ink too.
OR
I can make one.
thinking Yeah, I am better off making one.

Got to log out of this site. I am WAY too distracted and not writing at all. I should turn off the internet, but I need it because I use Google Docs. Unless the offline feature that Google Docs have is something worth using, then I shall use it.
I just need to be off this site for a few good hours.
See you all much later.

I spent an entire night coming up with an alternative POV story.
Pinti’s story and her enemy’s story were going to be mirror images of each other (same events, different perspective), but then I had a revelation and decided that nope, Zar’s story is going to happen from longer ago and then he actually doesn’t see Pinti as much as he did in a previous version of Pinti’s story.
No, no, actually he’s also been planning a revolution and, no, no, actually the shifty sneaky Sorcerer was involved in his life for much longer, and no, no actually the shapeshifter race are suffering as well from a tyrant king.
Then, I realized some lore weirdness with Pinti’s story and fixed it in Zar’s story idea, so…
that was productive for Pinti’s story which wasn’t intended, but it happened, and it was kinda cool.
Now, I’m even more prepared to rewrite Pinti’s story. I thought I was before, but coming up with Zar’s POV helped me work out the last few kinks in Pinti’s POV.
I also now decided that definitely yes, she was found abandoned in the forest, but Zar found her first. And Zar doesn’t know, or maybe he figures it out, but her real parents are… 
And she’s actually a descendant of… yep.
Oh my gosh, so many elements come into play for that one.
That’s uh… that’s my day

My Tapas time ended up a total failure. Posting experiment I was doing there, but I quit it after Day12 as it wasn’t getting any better. It’s a shame. My potential readership was there but, then again, it wasn’t. Bye Tapas, sorry we couldn’t be friends.
Gonna be honest. Tapas is a horrible fit for new writers and works, unless you actively engage in their forums or discord or whatever. Sorry, if I sound salty. I’m just really disappointed.
