Being completely in the zone as a writer, that state of concentration and hyper focus, where the only concern is the story you’re typing, is one of the best feelings in the world.

Then your body screams at you to stop and take a break, but you can’t because breaks will mess up your flow and writing rhythm.
I have ADHD, so being hyper-focused is a real beast and not always great, at least for me.
LOL!
I did four pages front to back of my ToG fanfiction by hand.
It is a short story teaser, because I do plan on hand writing the novel after I am done with the teaser.
Then again I might type it and hand write another novel?
I don’t know! I have to see how I feel about it.
I have six pages left so I am going to either finish up later today or start sometime tomorrow.

I am done with my short story teaser for my ToG AU Fanfiction novel.
So, I have to hand write the novel and that should be a fun little experience for me!
Also, I am going to start working on the computer novella for Arcane Proposal for tomorrow in regards to Camp NaNoWriMo.
That should also be fun for me too!
Nothing else to report.

Haven’t written a damn thing because I’ve been gaming. 
On the bright side, I have an urge to write fanfiction for said games. To resist or not to resist, that is the question. 
Maybe I need a break bc I’m burned out? I’m stuck in my current story so I think that’s why I’m kind of avoiding it. The problem is there are too many “scenes” that I want to write but they slow down the pacing way too much before getting to the “juicy parts.” My goal was to think of this book as thirds. Like seasons of a TV show. There are three pieces but my first piece is dragging too long.

Oh gosh, I’ve felt the same about my story during the “slow” parts 
probably why its taken so long to make progress (aside from academics). Even thought of my story in “arcs” like your story’s “seasons”.
The good thing is I’ve gotten to the cool part of the last arc, so writing motivation spiked last time I wrote
Writing a game fanfic sounds like a great idea to get past the burnout too

Writing wise, nothing is happening these days and I have mixed feelings on the matter.
Life wise, meh, it could be better.

got some beta readers for GH and i have high hopes that they will actually read and give me feedback, and not just vanish into the abyss like all but one of Ash and Cinder’s betas never using wattpad beta readers again lol
now i’m restless because I need to wait to hear back from them to go back to editing. BUt I want to write I guess I’ll go back to working on Nycto even though I’m not super into it right now. Mostly because I read the most recent stuff I had and it was hot garbage. cold garbage. Whatever. you would think i would learn to stop writing with movies on in the background because this ALWAYS HAPPENS ahdjf ofvb

I finished chapter 17! i popped it into grammarly and i have like nearly 200 suggested corrections for a 2.5k chapter. at least 60% of the suggestions are about my passive voice.

try cutting “was” (or “is” if you’re in present tense), it helps.
like “there was a tree on top of the hill that was struck by lightning” vs " “lightning struck the tree at the top of the hill”.

Finally got some good editing done today. Snippet!
But she knew he wouldn’t understand what it was like to not know where from, why pendant, why no moonstone, who parents, and why powers.
Why visions. Why me. Why all this. It’s all beyond Bloodstone.
I decided to have this prophecy say that something that seems like a good thing, is actually a bad thing, so Pinti, don’t do that.
But she sees this thing would be good in the long run.
So, she promises not to do that, but has full intention on doing the thing.
And she doesn’t believe in prophecies.
But maybe she should this one time

wattpad comments sometimes make me feel like i’m not a super great writer. obviously i’m very grateful that people take the time to comment but i’m afraid i’m not good at foreshadowing maybe? idk, i got a comment on the latest chapter asking if my FL would end up being in the emperor’s harem when the entire book i’ve made it clear that she hates the emperor and prefers not to be around him. in fact, the only man she has legit convos with/scenes is her future love interest (the emperor’s younger brother). i feel like its easy to put together but that comment got me thinking…

Know that it’s only one comment and one person. Don’t let one comment sway you. I’ve had one person comment on my story about two characters saying they should fall in love when I made it clear as day that MC hates the other character.
Sometimes people might breeze through a scene or spot something and comment on a whim, or misinterpret the entire thing.
You only need to reconsider when multiple people say the same thing. Then maybe yes, you need to go back to your story and make sure everything is super clear.
Just one person shouldn’t sway you. If you do that, you might end up changing the story in a way that brings out more misunderstandings.
I’m saying this because I’ve had many times where one comment swayed me to change something and then that confused a whole bunch of other people who weren’t confused before.
