Editing and Translating Mostly worked on translating Dream Voyage Inc, and also some bit on Hollow and The Unknown. Not the most productive day, but it turned out I want to rewrite Dream Voyage a bit. There is a part in there that I don’t like much in original, so …

On Loosening the Grip and The process vs product

May 20, 2018 May 21, 2018  writer's block, writing 0

Writing On Friday, I decided to let my strict goals go and to see what happens. As a result, I wrote only 600 words late in the evening, more like at night. I could have written more if I spent another half an hour, but I made a decision not …

Falling off the wagon: On setting and keeping your daily word count

May 16, 2018 May 17, 2018  writing, writing daily, writing goals 0

On Friday, I fell off the wagon— That’s what I was going to write, but then a thought struck me: What is my wagon? And what falling off it really means? The answer to the first question is kind of simple: to write the WIP. But then I’ve made it …

I mostly worked on translating for my brother and not on my own stuff. So nothing to call progress… but I wish I could stop feeling like I failed on such days. I didn’t spend it on the sofa watching Youtube—I worked.  I think that’s the main problem with my …

The main project On Monday and Tuesday, I wrote 1000 words each day, as planned. I had some problems, mostly about the mindset, because on Sunday I read a couple of blog posts somewhere on why people SHOULDN’T write every day. While a lot of it sounded like an envious …
