Struggling Writers’ Daily Den: rant, share, complain, ask, daily progress thing (Part 2)

Breaks are good, until I forget to do that while I am hyper-focused on my writing and other things too.

Hyper-fixation writing is murder on my body! I want to take breaks, yet I am too hardheaded to do so.

That’s just it. I’ve been on a “break” for over a month now lol as in over a month of not completing chapters of anything. I still have ideas for writing. Just can’t actually execute them.

I agree. It’s just… taking way too long for my liking. :laughing:

I know the feeling. It’s like living on borrowed time.
I hate when it happens, but when I do get back to writing, I cherish that month like a precious gemstone.

I got the Itis from eating moments ago and I really want to get started on chapter 2, part 3 of Project Merellien.

I need to what I can for this part and see if I am up to moving onto my other story project’s part in Project Knight.

Ugh! The food is so good, and I am super tired!

:sweat_smile: :tired_face:

technically i made good time on it, but dragging for so long on this project means i lost a bunch of time i was going to spend editing a book i wanted to be done in april.

I plan to read through the stuff you sent me this weekend! Provided I can get through my list of Tasks I’ve Been Putting Off to Write.

I AM DONE WITH PART 3, CHAPTER 2!
I finished at 3382 words!

I think that chapter 2, will have nine parts than the chapter 1. I feel that giving it that much is beneficial to the story or chapter overall.

Glad that I am done with that!

Break time!

My second story project is confusing in terms of titles for the whole thing.
I am slowly getting to understand the overall plot, but the title is something that needs to be worked on.

So, for now I am calling it Project Summoning or Project Summoner’s Knight.

Things to think about.

I am going to really suffer later on with Project Merellien, because I refuse to jot things down. I almost forgot what each character is doing and where they are located that a screw-up was about to take place.

I still can’t jot down names of characters and what they are doing. I’m starting to think that is too much work and I am already doing too much already.

Oh, well!

i don’t want to edit :melting_face:

i don’t like that i have to be on my laptop now. the screen makes it harder to set up cool writing vibes and i’m afraid to take it places in case it breaks again. u^u

So, you don’t have a large monitor for displaying things on your laptop bigger?

no, and, uh, i don’t think that would… do anything?

Do you just use your laptop screen and nothing else?
Is your laptop small and a decent size?

Just curious to know!

yeah, my laptop is my entire set up. I run ambient video on my switch when i write at night/early morning (or tv if i’m in the living room) but it’s just there to be pretty, basically.

it’s a decent size. 15 x 7.5 i think? its works fine but it drowns out my aesthetic writing vibes :joy:
