Daily Check-In Day 1: Thursday (May)

Good morning! It's the beginning of a new month, and that means new goals (or even sticking to current ones).

So, where are you at in your writing?
  • Planning/researching
  • Writing
  • Editing
  • Spending it to my beta reader
  • Posting it now
  • Shelving it for the time being
  • Getting some rest/taking a break
  • Thinking about writing, but currently bust at the moment
Discussion: What are some tips that have helped you during the writing process, and you want to share with others that could help them out?

Personally, having a bottle of water on my desk has helped a ton with my writing (thanks KrimsonRogue for the tip, and reminder from his NightBane video). If I don't drink water my writing falters, and I can barely concentrate on the task.

Also, this is a reminder to stay hydrated! >:D

I just started writing a fanfic story yesterday after two years of not writing any fanfiction. I haven’t written many fan stories; I think this is just the fourth one I've written. The fic I’m writing is short, and it will probably be finished by the end of the week.

I don’t know if I have many writing tips, as I mainly draw and paint. In any art, I think it is important to trust yourself enough to give free rein to your ideas and not judge yourself too harshly. Even when something you make doesn’t work out, the next project you do has a new chance to be good.
