Struggling with the first draft. Not happy with the current outline.

Going to scrap it and going back to the drawing board for Draft 1.8 (meaning my 8th attempt at a 1st draft).

#writing #writingstruggles

There are times I write better in the night than in the sweltering day. But I am forced to be a day person by both my mother and work environment. The only thing that keeps me going is my unnatural reliance for caffeine.

Does anyone know anything similar to coffee but doesn't taste bad?🥱☕🫖

Does anyone like the feeling of your dogs sleeping on your feet?

Because it makes me stay where I am--currently working Draft 1.7 of Project A Scary Story: Volume 1 on my desktop--and won't let me leave my spot.🥰

Probably will be an issue later...

If it's not the little things that distract me from writing Project A Scary Story: Volume 1. It's the damn summer heat.

Thank God, I don't get sick easily in the summer than when I was a kid. I just get heat stroke...

Man, I wish I had a strong AC that won't suck too much energy...

Writing keeps me sane. Reading makes me disappear from the craziness going on in the world into another world--almost making me forget the troubles. Drawing keeps me distracted. Listening to music keeps my body moving.

Those are the only things I can do to keep me from another anxiety attack. 😮‍💨

The world is going crazy, and I'm worried that I might go crazy because of it.

Despite this being a day to celebrate our nation, what is the point when its president is going to take away free healthcare and assistance and wants to deport everyone.

I feel like taking a long nap...😟

I step away from the news for one day. One day! And apparently, we're heading towards WWIII because of a certain dumbass orange blob.

And my anxiety is spiking high.

Whoever voted for him, I hope you're happy. You've killed us all and yourself.
🤬

Insomnia, combined with LA early summer heat, is not easy me, especially when I have to open the window and calm down my pups when they bark at the birds singing.

Can birds sing at night, or am I going crazy?

Even though seeing the news heightens my anxiety to the point of having a panic attack (and I haven't had one in two years, thankfully), I force myself to keep taps on what's going on because I don't want to turn a blind eye to what's going on.

It's not good, but better to be informed.

The Silent Hill remake is officially in development at Bloober Team, the developer that handled the well-received Silent Hill 2 remake. https://bit.ly/4mYlAnh

It's been crazy in LA. But I still love this city no matter. It just shows that LA is full of people that are compassionate and will fight for the good, and not for evil.

Stay safe Los Angeles. We endured wild fires early this year. We will endure this no matter what.

I'm sad. My Canon Printer is no longer usable because it's no longer supported by the manufacturer so now I have to buy a new printer.

Still getting Canon now.

This is a sad day...😭😭

Using Milanote has been great help, especially when it comes to working on Draft 1 of PROJECT A.S.S. VOL 1. I use it more than Notion, but I'll try to find ways on how to use Notion because it's been good for my ADHD.

I'm trying out both Notion and Milanote for Draft 1 of Project A.S.S. VOLUME 1.

Does anyone know where I can learn more on how to utilize them? It would mean the world.
