On Discipline and Simple Math

June 27, 2018 June 28, 2018  writing 0

Daily Writing June 27, 2018 Too busy moving and unpacking and settling to write. I know people can write in such circumstances, but I’m not one of them. I’m a low-energy person and instability drains me too much. It doesn’t help that getting used to a new place disrupts my …

Writing I spent most of the time packing and moving, so these last three days were far from productive. Right now I feel not only tired after carrying heavy stuff but knocked out of normal life. Like one of our cats, who has been hiding in any corner of the …

I have published a short story Finished and published Unknown (Ukrainian version). Here’s the link (might not be available in all stores): books2read.com/unknownukr A bit disappointed that publishing takes so long, but the book is out and I can, at last, let it go. Time to celebrate! And I mean …

Unfortunately, getting up really early crushes my energy level to nonexistence, so I haven’t done much this week. Still: Transferred all drafts from Neo2 to Scrivener, which took surprisingly long  Wrote some on The Unknown, close to finishing it Not very much on Voyage Dream: here I kind of stuck. …

The schedule became a bit of a wreck because this week I have to wake up very early. It means that by the time I would usually write (in the evening) I’m dozing a good deal. I will have to adjust, but for now, I’m a bit on the unproductive …

Writing Still struggling with putting the plot of my WIP together. It began to take some shape, but I’m only on the third book. It seems that I will have to either cut something or come up with fillers for some characters. I don’t like fillers, obviously, but maybe when …

Writing Very little writing since last week, but that’s not a problem. The thing is, I’m on the stage with my WIP when I need to organize things and see where to go next. By now, I have about 400 000 words on the project. Some of them are extensive …

Writing and Editing: Some Self-Discoveries

June 3, 2018 June 4, 2018  writing, writing goals 0

Writing days As I mentioned before, I decided not to cling to a daily word count too tight because it seemed to become an obstacle to my writing rather than a help. I used to write 1000 words/ day, and at a specific time, for several months, but a restrictive …
