writing every day in march // day three

today definitely felt like the first day of spring!

i find it really hard to accept that first drafts suck, and that it’s okay to start drafting to explore ideas without having 100% of the plot outlined yet

spending this afternoon/evening doing a first draft for one WIP, and just taking notes and brainstorming for another. i’m definitely gaining a better understanding of them both and why i’m writing them, which is great :)

More about the pretty consistent body pain thing that's happening, I'm not sure if something is actually wrong with me or if its just the affect of overworking myself for liiiiikkkke 6 years??? ( arguably also overworking nyself before that now that u thjnk about it but moreso te past 6 years )

yeahhh and then also before that I'd did marching band and like- did it knowing I didn't have great knees :/ hmm just thinking thoughts

Sorry for the rambles I just like to think aloud and it helps doing it somewhere public :/

#i should probably go to a doctor #but i know itll prpbably be fruitless anyway #theyll almost definitelt say its cause of my weight #which hey #maybe part of it IS #but i dont think that would just fix everhtjinf #i alrrady had trouble with my knees and cifculation in hs #AND BACK THEN I WAS SK ACTIVE #MARCHING BAND IS FUCKINF ACTIVE AS HELL #abd before that i did sports up until middle school #anyway- #i think also overworking nyself at a job and doing college #just may have made ir way worse #hmmm #thoughts #not a vent #genuinely just thinking things and writing them #and i need eomeone to observe cause i dont get answeds wtiting it on my own #urgh its frusttatint #i am in pain lile every day :/ #sleeping situation is absolutely making it so much worse too #rambles #angel rambles #sory if you read this far #im hust thinking thoights

Baby boy brother birthday photos from last year that I just realized I never uploaded!

#cats #also hopefully it's not weird to still post photos of George (the brown cat) even after his death a little while ago. I just have so many #beautiful old pictures of him that I still love but just never had the time to sort through or upload (my cat photos folder on my #computer had like 450 pictures in it or something lol... SO many). I feel like it's kind of just honoring or appreciating him #and not actually strange or anything. like what am I supposed to do. delete them?? I want to share them still because he is beautiful and #perfect ! idk. aNYWAY. Also this is their 2022 birthday when they turned 14 years old. (even though I think when I posted #their 2021 bday I might have said they were 14 then too. I was off by a year lol). 2023 when they turned 15 I unfortunately #was feeling kind of sick at the time and didn't really have the energy to do the decorations like I usually do. So they just got a few #treats and stuff. But I didn't know that would be george's last birthday lol. :/ #They also do not really know or care though. they're cats who cannot process it or know the concept of birthdays so. eh #I still have no idea how these got lost on the computer though. Like I had them fully edited ready to post but just sitting in a folder?? #Since MARCH 2022 lol... ??? the folder was in another folder of pictures so maybe that's how I overlooked it #But it's my 'once every 4 months computer organizing and clean out time' so I was going tghrough looking for pictures #I could drafts posts out of or sort or etc. #They got lots more treats for this birthday because one of my friends actually game me a few gifts for them #elderly boys.!!!! #I used to write in the little caption/image description sections to talk about them all individually but at some point tumblr broke that #feature and for so long they never saved or weren't visible so I stopped doing them and just ramble a bunch in the tags instead #but I kind of miss them. Thinking about old posts of the cats where I commented on each photo individually too lol.. the good ole days

well, shit

#if you know you know #tbh this goes for every day but still #nOT THE GHOST OF YOU PLAYING RN ISTG- #ok it changed to KISS we good #for the record i'm writing this on the 1st of july 2023 #i just got the idea ok shut up #mcr #my chemical romance #gerard way #mikey way #ray toro #frank iero #march 22

writing habits tag

Tagged by @space-writes!

RULES: Bold or color the things that you relate to and then tag some people to play.

I write: daily | most days | a few times a week | a few times a month | random

I write most often: when I first get up | later in the morning | afternoon | evening | the wee hours of the night | whenever

In one sitting, I tend to write: a few sentences at a time | a few hundred words | a few thousand words | a complete chapter/ section no matter how long | an outline | whatever comes

I tend to write scenes: in chronological order with no skipping | mostly in order but with some filler/skipping | whatever scene I feel like | who knows what’s gonna come out

The things that comes easiest to me are: dialogue | description of senses | description of action | description of characters | exposition | other

I tend to write: on a phone | on a laptop | in a notebook | on whatever paper I can find | with speech to text | in the blood of my enemies | it doesn’t really matter to me | on paper first and then typed up | old school typewriter | on a computer

When I take a break from writing, it usually lasts: a few days | a few weeks | a few months | it’s kind of random

My favorite thing to do when I’m on a writing break is: recharge with other creative hobbies | read/consume other media | do something physical | catch up with old friends | work on my WIP in other ways like with playlists or art | other

In general, I think my writing habits are: pretty much what I need them to be | okay, but I’m working on making them better | non-existent | not great | i’m excited to develop them further | totally random | perfect for me

Gently tagging @e-klair, @cream-and-tea, @scroll-of-aves and @squarebracket-trick for this!

#writeblr community #tag game #my posts #okay so my writing habits are like absolutely wild actually #back in march-may I had this insane streak where I wrote every day #I think I kept up the 1k streak for around two weeks or so and the writing streak for 70 days #even when I was sick and running a fever #and THEN #I got whammied by covid and burnout in one go #I still have not picked the streak back up #so yeah my writing times is either daily or a few times a month and I either write 1k per sitting or 1 sentence #hence the randomness #there is literally No In-Between

Watching my self-imposed due date approaching got me like

#madasaku #forward always #fanfic #look… #I’ve been writing every day #but febuary is ending sooner than expected #I hope I can get this chapter finished before march but tbd!

I’m back! Well, not necessarily, but I’m on the road back home. I am mentally exhausted, but my break back in Mexico was fun! I won’t exactly get back to posting normally, but I will in a few days

#yeyarants #nobody probably cares #but to the few mutuals that do #hello again! #I’ve been offline the past two weeks and haven’t gotten checked on things in a bit #i NEED to watch the two TGCF season 2 episodes before posting my reaction to them #but I need a bit of a break rn lol #the break felt like nothing and now I gotta go back home #like I miss it… but also not really #Mexico just feels so different but in a good way #I will post my reactions to episodes 9 and 10 don’t worry #and the small bits of time to myself I’ve been trying to write something #I’m halfway done #and my plan is to post it here in February #and if not hopefully by March #it’s something I’ve been working on and I want to share it but I also feel self conscious about it #but it’s the most I’ve ever written! #and really want to share it #it’s basically an OTP prompt thing which is writing something about said OTP every day of the month #and if you know me then you know which two ships #Idc if it doesn’t get that much attention #even just a little bit would make me happy and I plan on posting it on ao3 and sharing it on my blog #still don’t know if I should make post it chapter by chapter or making a series and posting each prompt individually #the prompts were like one to three words and I wrote quite a lot for it #the average for most of them are around 700 words #but again #felt like sharing this small update and what I’ve been doing

writing every day in march // days eight & nine

still writing my short story, very slowly. it’s nearly done (yes, I’ve said this for a week now)

I think I need a break from it and to work on something else. I want to write something under 1500-2000 words because everything I’ve written lately is 3-5000 and variety is good!

I feel pretty sad about being such a slow writer. It makes me wonder if I’ll ever get anywhere with my work.

I spent the last two days doing a jigsaw puzzle. A liberating activity for a depressed brain that feels like it's been pressure-cooking for several months now. One piece after another disappears into the whole. The darks get separated from the whites. The standard pieces from the abnormal ones. It should come as no surprise that I relate to those latter.

My therapist has been trying to convince me that I can have days like this. Even the governmental organ that provides me with the financial and health benefits that are perhaps the only reason I'm still alive has told me not to feel pressured. That I can take time to heal. I wonder if it's days like these that count.

I have loved puzzles my whole life. I love them in all shapes and sizes. Word puzzles, number puzzles, logic puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, ... I like to use my brain, solve a problem, figure things out. This one ended with two pieces left over that didn't fit the two that were still missing in the picture. There were false fits. Another excellent metaphor for my own experience in this world.

My mum and I hunted them down and completed the puzzle. Then, after taking a picture and admiring my work for a while, I broke up the puzzle and put the pieces back in their box. It's an old favourite and I have made it many times. I will make it again. The joy is not in the end product, but in the journey.

poppo oc that i made as a joke accidentally breaching containment. maybe.

#snap chats #this is why we never do things 'as a joke' it stops being a joke eventually #i havent mentioned him for months hey LMAO BUT I WAS THINKING OF HIM TODAY i still like thinking of him.. #oh also i finally thought of his wife. affectionately called Momo. who works at the m store. 'pop' and 'mom' see name scheme there #i thought of letting her work at la marche but thats too extravagant me thinks #anyways 'snap what are you talking bout' no cause the more i thought of him #the more the idea of actually writing short stories ft This Guy having to deal with deranged yakuza every day made me giggle more #if you see me breed a handful of yakuza ocs in the coming days no you dont #really. you wont LMAO i dont plan on having them at all be associated with rgg #if i ever need to draw throwaway yakuza charas tho then sure ill let them ft but i doubt ill need to do that #hence. Breaching Containment #in that regard i might accidentally give him a real name... name after an actual place of course.. #like seiko.. based off seicomart of course... #in any case.. since i plan on streaming tomorrow i might talk more bout all this there. if anyones interested. #i know i wanna actually make a proper ref sheet for him so #i do have a goofy comic or two he might be able to ft in #anyway bye lemme work on this comm so i can sketch out that ref sheet

stelle is 5'8.5", the heeled boots are two inches making them around 5'10" most of the time except it's close enough that they just say 5'11" to be extra annoying

dan heng is 5'9". stelle constantly gaslights him into thinking they're taller and he never leaves his room enough at night to realize otherwise

march is 5'4" she is pocket sized

#yes this was necessary #IVE DISCOVERED THE JOY OF WRITING ALL THREE OF THEM AND ITS THAT NO ONE CAN STOP ME FROM MAKING TRIO HCS #✧ stelle. headcanons / let the ultraviolet cover me up #✧ dan heng. headcanons / i’ll be glad that i made it out and sorry that it all went down like it did #✧ march 7th. headcanons / every day is like a battle but every night with us is like a dream!
