This first draft is going to be so messy when it's finally finished. #writer #author

Wrote nearly 1,500 words today and read a whole book. Feeling accomplished

Too busy (distracted) voraciously reading books to write. #author #writer

Yesterday I wrote close to 3,000 words. Today, I'm just trying to figure out where the story goes.

I've been researching by watching any film and reading any book about Selkies that I can find.

It's been a while, but I'm back at the keyboard working on my novel.

I've been too distracted to write lately. Finally sitting down at my laptop to take a stab at it.

Pretty sure the book I’m writing would end up on a banned list

Meanwhile the cat keeps asking for attention now that I'm actually sitting at my keyboard trying to bang out this novel.

Writing is 99% self-loathing and beating yourself up and 1% getting down a good sentence and being like, yeah that one's a banger.

Maybe I should up my daily writing goal to 1,000 words a day. I've been meeting 500 words easily and would like more of a challenge.

Now to find a way to insert the "Seal Hunter" folklore tale into my novel.

Wrote almost 600 words today. Mostly just a retelling of "The Selkie Wife" to add some traditional folklore to the novel.

Working on a shitty first draft. Let's face it. I kinda hate it, but apparently this is part of the process.

The more I watch Selkie movies the more I realize a lot of them are modern retellings of “The Selkie Wife”

New month. New writing goal.
March: at least 15k more words

“Song of the Sea” comes highly recommended. Let’s see if it’s worth the hype
