Part of the fun of doing these entries, or perhaps it is a processed fun substitute, is that i never know where it is going to go.
It is now a little after 1212. I have been trying to get my stuff done. I set a timer for 5 hours and I have 32 minutes left. For me this is pretty good going.
I have tried so many different ways of organising myself. Each way that I use has some kind of flaw. I know what you are going to say. ‘Nothing and no one is perfect.’ (Well one person I know is but she’s a different matter.)
I am caught between getting stuck on a thing, and thus not doing another thing, and then doing a thing for a very short space of time so that I am not sure I can say I did that thing at all. In other words can reading one page of a novel count as having read for that day?
Still i have managed 5 hours today. I seem to have done a fair amount. If I do the same tomorrow, and maybe Sunday the todo list diary will be completed. In theory.
Incidentally I realise that posting these on a day other than the one in the title is confusing. It is just my way of separating the writing and editing process. *2024-05-25
My addled brain needs to be free from distraction. I say that using a distraction free writing machine while also having my phone right next to me. Doesn’t make a lot of sense does it?
Still I can still make the best of the rest of the day. I have no idea what that looks like.
A shower? Maybe? Yes. I am still in my pajamas. Doing so at this time of day is a bit on the slobby side but still what the hell?
Do you ever feel like you have no thoughts? Like you have no idea what you want to say? Not good for a writer.
I have no idea how this is going to look when I get to the end of it. I just write – vomiting my ideas in to the keyboard – and typing very fast.
That is what I like about the Freewrite (I swear I am not sponsored.) The lack of a spell check means I can just type and there are no little red lines to distract me. One of the words above got so mangled a semicolon snuck in. I guess that just shows how bad I am at fast typing.
The novel continues to go well – although I haven’t got to it today so that sucked.
Anyway this rambling is done for another one of these pointless endeavours. So goodbye for now – see you some other time.
Or not as this is not at 500 words yet. That is what I want as my target. I suppose that words are hard. Yeah. That is all I have for today. I hate my brain.
I just wanted to say that I have checked this post. I really have. Unfortunately my particular combination of dyslexia and dyspraxia makes it really hard for me to spot typos. Please enjoy and I’ll try not to make too many errors.
