WIP Wednesday
Apr. 14th, 2021 02:34 pmFeeling a little more rested this week which has been a relief. No idea what came over me with the random exhaustion, but very glad to be back to more normal levels of tired. At least I am able to be somewhat productive this way, and I did a bunch of very fun things this weekend with my newly returned energy! I cleaned out the basement pantry! I did laundry! I even did some writing!
New words this week : 2310 words and about half of them were from a single day! The best writing day I've had in months!!
WIPs worked on this week : 1, with no new WIPs (yay!)

☆ HDBB : 2310 words which brings the total to 5337 new words and I'm making more words on it which is good, but I really feel like I'm floundering. The pacing feels wrong to me and I just keep adding more smut because, I don't even know why, but it doesn't help with the pacing issues I can tell you that. I'm vividly remembering just why this thing has been languishing unfinished for so long, because I am completely useless at writing long things without a ton of handholding and cheerleading, and I haven't had an alpha reader for years. I've actually reached out to a couple of people but one declined and the other hasn't responded, and I'm not too sure what to do at this point. I mean, besides keep adding more smut, apparently, I don't even know. I think I'm entering the "this is a garbage fic and I am a garbage writer" phase of things and it'll pass, I know it will because it always does, but man is it easier with someone else along for the ride.
