So much for writing this week… I got a cold and decided I wasn’t up to joining my writing buddy for our session at fhe coffee shop this week 😭 (it is very hard for me to write without leaving the house usually)

The further I get into writing my novel the harder it is to resist the urge to start editing what I’ve already written. There are so many things I know need to be fixed to make the pacing better and the motivation of the mc stronger! I KNOW i gotta keep going to finish what I know will change 😭

Finally getting back into the writing routine after being too busy the last couple of weeks. I wish it was easier to get myself to write in the comfort of my own home.

For National Poetry Day, one of my dearest poems on the Orpheus and Eurydice story.
Rilke's Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes.
Tr. Stephen Mitchell.
This is one of the rawest depictions on facing your lost love.
She was already loosened like long hair,
poured out like fallen rain
She was already root.

Just hit 50k on my WIP!! 🎉 Its a word count goal I’ve never been able to hit on single project before. I’m incredibly proud of myself for persisting and not falling into the trap of second-guessing everything and immediately re-writing the beginning a thousand times.

Every time I see a book with a similar idea to what I’m writing I have to remind myself that there’s no way that someone else would be able to stumble onto the *exact* same unhinged combination of ideas. I done even know how I got here.

Omg I loved the new Superman so much!! Incredibly well written with so much goofy, yet realistic dialogue, compelling character moments even with minor characters, and just all of the best parts of Superman and his universe in general.

I am coping with all the bad by rediscovering escapism. Writing fantasy and trying to feel whimsy and hope despite everything. At the very least I can make something else that will make them mad…

Writers, what details do you care way too much about including and properly describing despite knowing it doesn’t matter?
For me, its clothes/“character design.” I need to know exactly what every character is wearing/looks like, and probably linger on those descriptions too long on the page…

I’ve been going to a cafe and writing with a good friend of mine a couple of days this past week and I’m baffled by how quickly the words are happening. The first it was like 700 words, then 800, and then yesterday I banged out 1,500 like it was nothing in the same time span??

Today is my last day at my job!! I quit because my boss told me that, as my employer, she could talk down to and belittle me all she wanted, and if I didn’t like it, I could resign. So i thought about it and yeah, resigned. Grateful I am in a spot rn where I can stand up for myself.

I wrote an “I met my younger self for coffee” poem in the style of Jennae Cecelia.
My poem is but one version of many meetings that can and may exist.
We are Russian nesting dolls full of our younger selves.
I’m interested which me I will meet with next.
