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

There are a LOT of words I have to sound out before I can spell them, although I can’t think of specific ones right now. I feel your pain. ( -.-)\(^◡^ )

As a teacher, I can say with 100% certainty you are NOT the only person to do this. Pretty much all my students do and so do I :joy:

So currently editing IUP3 (2026 aim for publish woooo). It looks like I’ve spent a little too much time foreshadowing the next 3 books and 2 spinoff series that it would appear I’ve left out some very important plot points and character conversations.

This may yet become a 2027 release because of this :rofl: :sob:

I’m fine there was no screaming OMG WHY at all promise

Okay, so miscounted the number of poems or…idk, period brain, I guess. So out of it. I said there were 30 poems when there were actually 22. Idk what happened.

Anyway, sent the poetry collection manuscript to my editor and now I cannot touch it.

I will not.

Take a deep breath and work on the next thing.

Don’t touch it.

That was five hundred words for Apex done, a little more than i usually do in a session I really wish I had the time and patience again to do thousand-word sessions or do two thousand. Two thousand was easier than one, as I could switch between each story I was doing a thousand words on

It can be a pain, I’m surprised my readers still hang around as I edit each addition for spelling and grammar. I don’t normally go back and add parts as I just keep swimming, just keep swimming. I may add something in as a plot hole to use later, though. I’m a bit weird, though.

Going to do some Edit with me videos for Patreon. Idk how much talking will happen, but I’ve previously found with my writing advice articles that talking while editing does help.

I can get editing done. That’s a win :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s a struggle because I am unsure what I want to do story wise.
