that phoenix stuff
Yesterday, I was too tired to think, let alone write much.
I also figured that if I’m too tired to think, then perhaps this stage is a good one to let my imagination come up with a story idea. That was a cool thing to do, actually, so now I have a setting, a twist, two main characters and a haunting name, The Longest Night On Tundra-U, for a new story.
Today, I decided not to give in to RL and do the best I can on Vega (no planning, no thinking since I don’t have the time to do that) and just pound my daily dosage in. That was a good decision too, as freeing myself to write crap gave me a lot of decent words on the page.
(Yes, I know, there’s the advice floating around to always write crap on first draft, but it doesn’t work for me that well–I can’t stay motivated to write crap day after day if I know I can write non-crap too most of the time.)
So, let’s say that it’s a lesson learned, and thanks for that.
