ysilme here: I'm sorry I didn't manage to react to anything/ any of you in the last few days, but I'm literally only online to do the tally entry, and for a little bit of writing in the mornings, producing 279 words today. Writing buddy and I have spent most of the day with plotting and talkig fic, while also visting another historic museum mainly for the purposes of research and inspiration, which both also happened in spades. I hope I can catch up once I'm back home next week!

sylvanwitch here: 758 words for the day.

Good on you! (Seriously, editing is my bane.) :-)

[sanguinity]

I rather enjoy tightening up and focusing the language! Making it say what I meant to say -- or would have meant to say had I properly understood the story at the time! -- instead of whatever garble I grabbed in the heat of the moment. Especially since I don't make myself do One Heroic Editing Pass, but more fix things as they seem off, in little bits and bobs, when I happen to be looking at it.

Of course the danger is that I do endless fine-tuning instead of composing new words -- which is the problem I'm having now! But I haven't finished my canon review yet, so I'm a little stuck for new words to write!

...but did I spend yesterday on canon review? No, I did not. I spent the day re-reading a comfort read.

[sylvanwitch]

Let me applaud you for comfort reading when you need it rather than pushing to do any other thing. I grew up being taught to feel guilty for anything perceived as "lazy" or "not useful," and I am still unlearning that response to taking pleasure in NOT doing a task, even though it's on my list, mental or otherwise. So, anyway, I am impressed by BOTH your editing savvy AND your comfort reading. :-)

[sanguinity]

You are so lovely and supportive. You are enormously kind and gentle with us (and encourage us to be so with ourselves!), and I appreciate that immensely. <3

This is so true! I have the same problem, and every bit where I manage to just be and relax is hard-fought-for. I read a semi-scientific article the other day about just this, with the gist that our brain and psyche needs to relax and unwind doing these "lazy" or "not useful" things to stay healthy.

I feel you so much on this! *g*

I'm sure somebody well-versed about this could explain that perfectly away with the brain needing the break or the space or whatever - but I don't care, I honestly think doing exactly that is not only important and helpful for the writing process, but also what keeps us sane. ^^

[sanguinity]

Aw, thank you. I'll try to remember to balance "keeping myself sane" stuff with "getting done what I need to get done" stuff, and not get too judgemental about one over the other.
