TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Just passed the 40,000 word mark! (I always seem to pass these milestones mid-sentence, so I miss it until I look down and realize—oh yeah, there it went. This time, I managed to catch it as I passed it. ) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, practice was what got me to the point that writing is (more or less) effortless; I still struggle with what should happen next, but getting the words on paper isn't difficult anymore. Then I managed to find a story I felt I had to tell, one that was developed enough for me to begin writing and figure the finer details out along the way. Other than that, I mostly just tell myself "Okay, you have to write 350 words every day, 150 at the bare minimum. Anything more than that is awesome."

Tristan Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 My good news is that I got a gym membership for the first time ever today. We'll see if that still classifies as good news tomorrow... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, is there any chance you could share this most likely amazing story with us? Thanks! Not in its current state. I'm very much a discovery writer, and combine that with the fact I'm not even halfway through the first draft, and you get a story that likely has any seeds of brilliance buried beneath a thick layer of floundering. I'll need the second draft to make some sense of the things I'm throwing together, and I'm hopeful I'll be able to get it published one day. (Hopeful, not certain. I know how competitive the publishing industry is.) 3 minutes ago, Hemalurgic_Headshot said: I'm going on a trip to Washington D.C. tomorrow! History stuff and monuments!
