30K WORDS. slay slay slay. i think i will always forever and ever remember this time in my life as the first time that i really truly forged a coherent and "adult" story, as i sat in my little apartment and lived an adult life for the first time (no longer in school, paying rent). it may not be marketable or even objectively good, even after i do edits and further drafts and so on so forth, but i think it will always be an important era of my life just on the simple fact that i did the hard work involved in laying a good foundation and pulled together the discipline to follow through on it for the first time since high school (and high school doesn't even really count bc it was nowhere near as intensive or solid and also bc i had no real responsibilities so it was easy). so inchresting to discern that a certain period in your life will be significant even as you're living it
#she bork#like !!!!! 30k in like two weeks!!!! very insane and very gratifying. i'm already picking up on some issues i'll have to confront in the#next draft but i'm refusing to consider them rn and forcing myself to soldier on until the end. i'm just super proud of myself for the#consistency and discipline i've been displaying like i went to san antonio last weekend to spend the weekend w friends and i STILL got my#2k+ words in every day. friday i had work at the ass crack of the morning and then after work got my registration renewed and then after#that had a tat appointment and then after THAT drove straight to sa and when i got there i opened my laptop and got those words down. i'm#refusing to compromise on my word count every day and that is so huge for me. i've known for quite a while i needed to develop artistic#discipline bc i'd never make it without it and now that i've figured out how to plot i feel like i found the key to it. overall just a#really nice development and it's very exciting bc it like exponentially increases my chances of actually writing and selling a novel someday#(like maybe even soonish like within the next couple of years if this one works out the way i'm hoping)#novel 2024
