Yesterday wasn’t one of my official “writing days.” I have three of those a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays) where I try to get most, if not all, of my words in.
But yesterday I got home and felt like I had a few thousand words in me… so I sat down and hammered out a chapter. Now, it’s rough, but that’s okay! That’s the point of a first draft… get all the words lined up one after another and then fix it all later. I’m really curious to see where I will end up adding more details… the worlds and cities I have described so far have been more like sketches rather than fully-fledged illustrations of the places in my mind. Again, that’s okay, I can add detail later.
But the point is that yesterday I basically wrote another chapter on a day I wasn’t expecting to write anything. And that felt really good. I love this part of the writing process (admittedly, I love many parts of the writing process!), when the ideas are all jumbled up in my brain and just waiting to get out. It feels good. It feels like I’m doing what I’m meant to be doing.
On that note, I’m going to go do what I’m meant to be doing, and write another couple chapters!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
