I’m almost done with my 500 words for Ms APex today, even tho I did 77-ish words yesterday without thinking. I have a hundred more words to do for today, which is pretty good overall, as I thought it was going to take me hours

How it feels to find a post about the exact specific object you included in your novel with 100+ pictures from all angles

While I did finish Chapter 26 and started 27, I’ve not written as much as I would like these days

I’ve finished chapter one of the story and need to start chapter two soon.

I’m wondering if I should edit as I write, even if it is the third draft.

I know what I am doing, but it is going rather slowly in a way. I know that Project Succession has taken my time and energy, but oddly enough I’m doing it for the sake of publishing someday. Still, I have a bunch of other stories that I want to start, but haven’t yet.

I need to start them, but Project Succession is taking all my time and energy in a way as if I know that focusing on something else won’t help me in publication.

I am wasting loads of time with this story and it sucks majorly. Don’t get me wrong because I love Project Succession, I just wish I was focusing on other stories too along with this one.

I guess this is because I am taking the story so seriously, which I’ve never done before.

Write like you’re not being watched.

Edit and revise like you are being watched.

Does that make sense?

Yes, but I still prefer write drunk, edit sober. (>‿◠):v:

I need to come up with a new story. I am still thinking about what I want this story to be about.

I might take an idea from a bunch of stories that I have thoughts about on and off to create a new lengthy novel series.

I just have to list what each story is about then take pieces of the story and combine it all into one epic story.

So, that’s what I have to distract me.

When you only get to write 15 minutes at a time on weekdays, so you spend the weakened lightly editing it so it’s cohesive enough to know what’s going on. :sleepy:

Welp, I lied! I’m back on what appears to be my fourth draft of Project Succession.

I might actually be on my fourth draft instead of being on the third draft.
