When you haven't written anything in like 2 or 3 weeks, a sudden burst of creativity that ends with you writing 573 words and ending the scene you'd been working on in your crappy lil story feels like a victory.

...of course the burst doesn't last but hey, any progress is good progress, right? And maybe that'll make working on this easier, too. Today isn't over yet, maybe the juice will come back, and even if it doesn't, I'll take a win, no matter how small.

#writing #writing thoughts #I typically write my fanfic at work (look the library is pretty quiet)#(and I know for a fact my coworker is also doing stuff on ao3 while we're all at the desk so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯)#and it's not as easy for me to get the juice flowing at home #even when I'm working from home #but I really want to get another of these Kingsley oneshots done before the end of the year #and then start on the next one #(this is him during the first trip to Nicodranas and him deciding he wants to be a pirate btw)#(it was gonna also be like his first few weeks at sea but I think that's gonna be another one instead)#(I need to do some boat research and figure out how to write Orly)#i was going somewhere with this. yes. anyway. I'm just happy I actually got something typed out.#I want to keep the momentum going #(partly because I know so many cool good writers and I wanna be able to at least have something new down you know)#I like writing. I do! I'm just bad at it from a technical standpoint #so today was a good day. tiny victories!
