It's beginning to look a lot like summer, though the breeze is still crisp.

Just finished my latest article for our page in the newspaper. Terrible fever today so i had to take a day off, and I'm trying to use it productively. Hope everyone has a great day!

I saw a post talking about how Terry Pratchett only wrote 400 words a day, how that goal helped him write literally dozens of books before he died. So I reduced my own daily word goal. I went down from 1,000 to 200. With that 800-word wall taken down, I’ve been writing more. “I won’t get on tumblr/watch TV/draw/read until I hit my word goal” used to be something I said as self-restraint. And when I inevitably couldn’t cough up four pages in one sitting, I felt like garbage, and the pleasurable hobbies I had planned on felt like I was cheating myself when I just gave up. Now it’s something I say because I just have to finish this scene, just have to round out this conversation, can’t stop now, because I’m enjoying myself, I’m having an amazing time writing. Something that hasn’t been true of my original works since middle school. 

And sometimes I think, “Well, two hundred is technically less than four hundred.” And I have to stop myself, because - I am writing half as much as Terry Pratchett. Terry fucking Pratchett, who not only published regularly up until his death, but published books that were consistently good. 

And this has also been an immense help as a writer with ADHD, because I don’t feel bad when I take a break from writing - two hundred words works up quick, after all. If I take a break at 150, I have a whole day to write 50 more words, and I’ve rarely written less than 200 words and not felt the need to keep writing because I need to tie up a loose end anyways. 

Yes, sometimes, I do not produce a single thing worth keeping in those two hundred words. But it’s much easier to edit two hundred words of bad writing than it is to edit no writing at all.

welcome to the recent state of my desk, I’m a little terrified.

i don't know if it's just me but i am finding it really hard to do work. I'm currently in the week before mid semester break, so I have loads of assignments due, but i can't seem to DO any of them. I stay up late and then wake up late and feel bad and go to work and earn money so that I can continue to study and then I try to study and crank out a few hours at night and then stay up late and wake up late etc etc... it feels like I'm not getting anywhere because I'm a week behind on lectures (don't get me started on my readings) but also I must be doing something because I'm at pace with my assignments and my grades are good. I feel like I'm almost drowning but there are some slippery rocks at the bottom and I am trying to stand up but my feet don't work but somehow I am perpetuately in this state of almost-under - my face resurfaces frequently enough to breath but I know I am in danger.

love when characters have to have a domestication arc before you can even consider giving them a redemption arc

[ 16.01.17 ] ☕️ starting the day with coffee, biochem and tarot! i’m quite up to date on my schedule with biochem, which is good, because there’s a lot to memorize and that way i can consolidate my knowledge a bit more until saturday. also, this deck is one i got in 2015 but never really picked it up much since. lately though i’ve been feeling it a lot!
