Write every day! - July 2024 - Day 3

We'll be doing images with quotes again every two or three days. Today's quote was chosen by sylvanwitch, the image is ysilme's first attempt at glass ball photography.


"A story rises from the springs of creation, from the pure will to be; it tells itself; I takes its own course, finds its own way, its own words; and the writer’s job is to be its medium." (Ursula K. Le Guin)

ysilme here: thank you all for your kind words! My arm is better but typing still not ideal, which is why I haven't replied to anybody yet. I managed 128 words for day 3, though.

sylvanwitch here: We had another weird day in terms of obligations and T's work schedule, but I did write 431 words on the novel before we left the house for the day.

ysilme here: 42 words for day 4, plus a bunch of organisatorial work for the NP.
Edit: I ended up taking out one of my long-neglected Tolkien WIPs and writing a few lines, getting my word count up to 111 words.

sylvanwitch here: I went to add more words to my novel earlier today and discovered the words I'd left off with yesterday were the perfect ending. That was a bit of a shocker! So, I jotted down 253 words of notes for directions I want the editing to take the novel, and I may just start that tomorrow. It's been so long since I began this novel that the earliest chapters really should feel like they were written by a stranger, so I'm counting that as waiting time.
