Hello! (Sorry for the delay. Anyway, TFGIF!!)
If you’re seeing this at the beginning of your day, what’s your writing plan?
- I plan on doing research
- I plan on drafting
- I plan on writing something new
- I plan on working on an existing pie
- I plan on sending off some writing to my beta
- I plan on posting today
- I plan on taking a break
- I need to sort out some Life Stuff
- I’m thinking of parking myself in the cinema and having a full day movie marathon🍿
- None of the above, I plan to do something else (please do share 😊)
If you’re seeing this at the end of your day, how did the writing go? Did you do any of the above? If you didn’t, what did you do instead?
Optional discussion: When shifting from one genre or style of writing to another, some people use music to help guide them. Others use different fonts. Some may even change up their usual writing nook! Have you experimented with any of these before? What did/do you do?

I've been adding more pen and pencil back into my writing after typing took over completely for a number of years. Plus trying out new software, and looking at cheap old laptops with sunlight-readable screens for writing outdoors as we march into summer.

I usually only scribble onto paper when I don't have a device around me and I'm ultra-worried I'll lose the idea. Typing outdoors sounds lovely, I hope you find one with a suitable screen soon!!

Date: Saturday, June 8th, 2024 01:54 (UTC)I used to have different fonts for different fics, but over time they all went Avenir. If something is still in Palatino I'm like, ooooh you're ancient, aren't you?
I do have mood playlists for a few projects, though! I haven't made one in a long time. Probably good, because for me it's usually just procrastination :D

I’ve never made a playlist before but same, I think I would end up having too much fun with the music instead of buckling down and writing!
