Write every day - Day 17

[zwei_hexen]

Inspired by current circumstances: Are there any conditions, emotional or otherwise, under which you find it especially challenging to write? Does happiness make your muse go into hibernation? Does stress make you less likely to write?

For me, if I'm struggling with some big, RL issue, I find it harder to focus on the words until the situation, whatever it is, is resolved. Long-term stress isn't an issue, but short-term shocks or sudden disasters make it difficult for me to sit still (I'm a pacer) and write.

Tally:

ysilme here: 1k fic for me, with about 700 words of it written on my phone in the morning - I have a new phone my bluetooth keyboard interacts with much better, and seem to be able to type on it now as quick as on my computer. Yay!

sylvanwitch here: I managed 703 words in between bouts of stress-crying and financial panic. *sighs* (I think everything is ultimately going to work out. I will not be 100% confident of that, however, until the money from the house sale is in the bank.)

17th: I wrote about a thousand words on a flashfic and posted it.

18th: Polishing the exchange fic. Making post-beta edits, deleting commas and adding a couple of lines. Trying not to fret, and resisting the temptation to find another (third) beta just because I've been working on this story so long I can barely see it anymore.

[sylvanwitch]

First: Yay for words, for posting, and for the polishing work! That's a LOT! Also, I can definitely relate to being so close to a fic that there is no longer anything approaching perspective. I hope you are able to resist the temptation and let your story out into the world, where I'm sure it will find people who are eager to read it and love it. :-)

Thank you!! (And I'm sorry to hear about the stress crying! *hugs*)

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you so much! *hugs*
