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

Working on four or possibly five stories at once.
Three are on Royal Road. Soon the last two will be as well.

I need an accountability for my writing.

Here’s a poetry snippet

…Darkness has consumed the world
and hope sounds like an imaginary thing.

A four-letter word filled with such responsibility
and yet, so very ephemeral and delicate.
It’s as vulnerable as the light of a candle
and breakable as a tiny glass animal.

Still working on it. It’s going to be the “light” at the end of my dark poetry collection. It’s close to a thought piece about the world.

good news! the sun did evaporate my writers’ block! also i set up my phone to film myself writing which worked really well. for some reason. i think mostly because it kept my screen occupied + out of sight?

@Qualeshia12 you film yourself writing for youtube sometimes, right? do you find it helps you focus on writing?

It helps me stay accountable in a way. Are you making your own YouTube channel?

interesting. no, i’m not, but I have a tiktok i can use the footage on if i want to. the goal of filming was mostly to motivate, not to get content.

Ah, I see

I want to learn how to make shorts for YouTube, but I get exhausted trying to figure out how to do properly. The looping video seems to confuse me.

the looping video?

Yes. When the short video repeats again?

right, it does that automatically, on it’s own, i thought. is there a particular aspect that confuses you?

I don’t know how to make the video loop again.
That is the confusing part.

that is a prob

wdym homie, it does that by itself. like when you watch a short, and you get to the end of the short and it starts all over again? you don’t have to do anything, it’s just like that. that’s the default setting, actually, you can’t turn it off. just hit post.

I’m on part 57, at least. When I get it written, I’m hoping to get it past the save step later, maybe.
It’s going to be a long shift and week for writing

Part 57 for MS Apex is live. I was only able to get a bit of writing done this afternoon. Depending on how things go, I’m going to start working on the Bearded Warforged at the same time as Ms Apex.

I can’t be the only one who has to say “EN-VAI-RON-MENT” to myself when trying to spell the darn thing :stuck_out_tongue: Or “RES-STAR-RAWNT” or “WED-NES-DAY”. Or “CON-Science”.

Anyone else? Any other words you have to over pronounce in order to spell right?
