So my friend used one of my short stories [9 Chapters Until Death], for his essay for a writing course he took (Needed to compare two short stories).
So yeah, that happened.
I think I am nearly better, maybe a few more days of recovery before I am back in top condition, but hopefully I don't have to deal with that again sometime soon.
June couldn't end without giving me one more sucker punch.
Final week managed to get some bad back pain.
Then on the final day of the month, where I planned to take my dad out for his birthday, managed to get extremely sick.
Sometimes I think about taking a week or two break from writing (Especially after the recent events), but it can be kind of difficult to do.
Not like I haven't taken breaks before, but unless they are super planned ahead (like taking a month or two off to plan the next arc), I kind of just feel shit about not writing a chapter for the week.
Anyway, random Bobple thought over.
I guess I am professional author now? My story was stolen and thrown on amazon/kindle with a stupid name and cover.
I know this sort of thing happens, didn't expect it to happen with my only okay stories, but well I guess that helps the steal game, and it's probably a bot doing it anyway.
You know what. This week has been a lot. Two people in the extended family died, my sister's bird she had since a kid died. Work's been alright, honestly it's been good that it hasn't been a hard week because dealing with on top of everything would've been lovely (That will change next week).
Had a good writing weekend last week, a not so good one this week, so I guess in universe terms. It was equalled out, but damn, I was really looking forward to doing another really good weekend of writing.
Usually I would say I am pretty good at names, but argh, currently dealing with the naming issue for the two mcs of a draft I'm writing . The names will come to me to soon... right?
I'm inconsistent with my chapter writing time. The process can be completed quickly, but usually it does lean towards the longer end though. The recently mental pains has been writing a chapter fast. I got a chapter done in 2hours. Outside my initial happiness, it's been sad, a kind of "Seriously? Why can't I reach this speed more often". It's just been frustrating in a stupid way of course.
Work this week was tough and it is not even done! First time I have to work the weekend to make sure it is completed on time, now I just need to make sure I get compensated for it. But genuinely the most annoying part was having less time to write.
Bought a new chair today, because I really needed one, but yep, still not used it. Guessed that it likely to happen when it's the first time to change chairs in over five years. But annoying it has made writing harder (Not the chair itself), but the feeling of not being used to it has .
It has been a few weeks now, well over a month, and I have successfully been doing three chapters a week total.
My next goal has been to try and increase that to 4, to very bad results .
This was a long week, was going to do some writing today but was roped into manual labour for seven hours, so now a little tired.
But this was a good week. Reached 50 chapters for Triiffic-Soul, and at a big turning point for story. That was a lot of fun. Work as well was fun enough, (But next week is going to be tough... hopefully I won't be too tired to write).
Now with first pay check received, time to start going down the list of people I need to buy lunch/dinner/gifts for... . This is going to take a few pay checks.
On other more important news, writing is hard... DAMN YOU AFTER WORK EXHASTION!!! YOU WON'T STOP ME YET!!!
