End of year accountability: check in #3

[xfirefly9x]

Another week closer to the end of the year.

♦ What did you achieve with your writing this week?
♦ What's something you struggled with that might need extra attention in the coming days?

Feel free to ramble about anything else writing-related in the comments, such as if you are seeking writing or editing advice, need a rubber duck to move through a plot issue, or just want to gush about how awesome that scene you just wrote turned out (feel free to share snippets!).

I have struggled with everything this year! Absolutely no inclination to write, no inspiration, nothing. It’s most depressing!

[xfirefly9x]

Sorry to hear that. It's been similar for me.

Some advice I've found is to sit down and think about the reasons you want to write, what you love about it. Remind yourself of the small things about it that just...give you purpose, I guess.

A lot. I even made a tiny bit of progress on my WiP, editing the last section I wrote so I'm ready to continue. Unfortunately, juggling a lot of challenges as usual, so... it's side-lined until I get caught up with everything else. Again. If I didn't need to sleep, I might make more progress.

[xfirefly9x]

Progress is great! I hope the other challenges let up so you can put more into the writing soon!

[badly_knitted]

They sort of did, but then I caught a bad cold or something, so I've been writing easy stuff instead of my complicated WiP simply because my brain won't brain. I cannot think straight.

[xfirefly9x]

That sucks. Hope you're feeling better soon (and clearer for writing!)

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I really hope so. This past week has not been fun.

Thank you ♥

I was so late replying to the last check-in that there's no new progress since then! xD

Realised I will not be finished this draft by end of October, but November could likely do it. Which would be handy because then I might take December off and be ready for editing it in January, when I'm using long service leave to take the full month off.

[xfirefly9x]

XD Same tbh.

That sounds like a good schedule to follow for it. G'luck with it!
