WIP Challenge: Day 20, Tuesday

[enemytosleep]

Another day has come and gone, so now it's time to check in. \o/



How many new words did you write today? Did you reach your goal? Were you editing instead? Researching? Or was today a day of rest?

...and today's discussion topic:

Purple prose: many fandom writers have gone there before, either by rookie mistake or by simply not knowing better. Have you ever written anything purple? Please feel free to share any advice you might have on avoiding this for any newbies out there (and feel free to share your own purple prose too, if you want!).

Got an hour free to write...and then I wasted it staring at a blank screen with the least-timely case of writer's block possible. Didn't even want to check the word count, it was so depressing. :c

That occasionally happens to me when I feel like I have to write RIGHT NOW, for some reason. I think that being creative and being on the clock is very hard to combine. I don't have any good advice, other than finding a way to trick your brain into thinking you have all the time in the world?

Hah, my brain is the opposite; it keeps thinking I have all the time in the world, so there's no need to hurry! X-D

[dhae_knight_1]

That's... pretty much exactly the problem I'm having with my thesis right now... XD

[enemytosleep]

Aw, it happens. I hope you can get some words down soon!
