So. Broke my 42 day streak yesterday. We got some really bad news yesterday. It was my day off and I was supposed to be planning and packing for the work trip I'm currently on. Between having to replan some things and process and also shock and grief I was up really late and just flat out forgot, I'll be honest.

I've been having some sticking points with the various things I'm writing, but I think I've got through them. Hopefully I'll get a decent chunk done these next few days (may be difficult given that I'm travelling) because I really want to finish another chapter of fake marriage!au before posting chapter 2.
Obviously I say every week that I'll write more, and then it doesn't happen. The trick, I think is figuring out how I'm actually going to do that. I think one thing is going to be attempting to do some words earlier in the day. In the morning perhaps, or during the day. Also to find some brain time where I can think about what I might write, so I'm not going in cold. The place we're staying at is in amongst a lot of bush and nature, so might go far a wander.

Date: 17 Feb 2020 12:09 (UTC)figuring out how to write more exactly is also something i'm struggling with. i like your idea of making headspace to think about what to write so you don't go in cold.
for me what works best is telling someone about what i'm writing, but that's not always an option, so i'm trying to find alternatives...

Date: 19 Feb 2020 04:57 (UTC)I've definitely found that when I'm stuck on things going through it in my head really helps. Although, as I found out last night, you have to then write it down before you forget, not assume you'll remember it in the morning and then entirely blank like I did last night... I'm always happy to listen if you need someone to talk fic at!
