Discussion: bad day. When you're having a bad day do you write angsty fic to vent? Write lighthearted and fluffy fic to calm down? Do something else?

No writing today at all. Horrendous day at work.

I tend to do other things when I'm having a bad day because if I was to write a fic there would be a lot of "fuck you very much" even for something light in tone.

I may write tomorrow now that I've figured out where I goofed with Let Me Fade and it is rather easy to fix, more so than I thought it would be.

When I have a bad day, I don't write fic -- I play computer games or watch a video!

I finished up the project I mentioned yesterday, and it clocked in at a grand total of about 3,000 words, so ... I am very, very happy with that. (Yes, even with the election drama, I somehow still found a muse, I guess.) Helps that it was a prompt I had been wanting to fill for a while.

Bad days are frequent enough in my line of work that I pretty much take them in stride, though, when they are bad enough, I tend to take my therapy in the form of video games. Might be different this month, since I am determined to go the entire stretch without a wordless day this time.

Like others, if it's bad enough, I escape to my mobile game addiction and pick up writing again the next day.
