"The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It’s not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work." — Augusten Burroughs

ysilme here: Today's choice of quote and image are by me. It strongly resonates with me, altough these days less for the "just sit down and write" aspect of it, but more for the part "it's the writing that makes you a writer, not adhering to this-or-that instruction, direction or suggestion". There's been a time when I've been made to feel that my instinct about writing was wrong, and that I'd only be writing "right" if I'd follow this or that, which rarely happened to be what felt right to me, or where my stories wanted to go. Back then I'd been an insecure writer with not much experience yet, but looking back I did well enough (still having to learn a lot, but who doesn't). One of the most important lessons I learned was to trust my instinct, and ignore instructions or suggestions when they don't feel right.
Tally-wise, in addition to yesterday's longhand draft notes I transcribed part of that in the evening, adding about 65 words for me for the 24th.sylvanwitch here: Today's writing has consisted of formatting the flashfiction for sending out and doing some research into potential submissions venues. I have neither the time nor focus for actually writing a cover letter, however, so this will get submitted eventually. Off to wander the mountains!

Date: 2022-07-30 01:07 pm (UTC)I made the same experience although more often than not, decipering my hand-writing is so very hard. *g* I'm generally fascinating what a difference it can make in which way we take notes and keep ideas had off keyboard, or generally go about drafting, plotting and revising.

Date: 2022-07-26 03:45 am (UTC)Jul 25: A little bit of editing, but not much. I might blame it on the heatwave making me stupid (high nineties today, three digits forecast for tomorrow), but honestly, it's been a pretty busy frazzly day.

Date: 2022-07-26 02:19 pm (UTC)Ugh, I'm so sorry for the heat and the suffering that brings, and I hope you're able to find a way to stay--I won't say "cool"--safe during the extreme heat. Good for you for getting ANY work done under those conditions!
