Writing goals

[Lacy Duckwing]

I kept avoiding bumping the thread because I have been tragically failing at all my goals
Currently sitting in I'm-dying-to-write-but-can't-afford-to-stay-up-late-at-night
I've been pretty happy with all the little things I've written with Thing the last week or so though.

Sorry.

Any early morning time? A lot of my writing for the past few months has been in the morning and I pretty much have a schedule for it now (which hasn't been in order lately).

Writing some where is better than nothing though! I've been enjoying reading her.

If/when it does it to me and doesn't give me a restore option, I go into history and it normally lets me reopen entire windows (I have like five ). I can't survive without my tabs

All the above issues still apply there, but yes, I could do that. I just don't like seeing them closed when they've been open.

My Dad has over twenty tabs at any given time. He even put more RAM in his PC just because he needed it for all those and windows and programs and stuff.

i don't know why but I'm most active/aware/focused of an evening. I either have a hard time starting the day or I'm too busy following a strict routine to stay on time (when I need to get to work). Morning's make me feel like there's a hundred things demanding my immediate attention.

The issue is that writing is not the only thing I need time for like that so I tend to reach the end of the day and have a whole list of things I want to do. Writing just hasn't been winning lately Totally not because I'm currently often distracted by a video game

Writing some where is better than nothing though! I've been enjoying reading her.

Aw, I'm glad. If nothing else, I feel like I've gained some confidence with it and am very excited to keep going.

*clears throat in I just spent an hour researching for the sake of one minuscule detail to avoid actually writing*

In the late fourteenth century, a priest's chasuble would have been white for Michaelmas.

I've shifted my writing goals from starting a new novel, to editing a previous novel, to just writing articles on BYC to keep practiced. It has not been a good few months for fiction writing.

And I still have not bothered to learn Obsidian. It just sits there at the bottom of my screen, taunting me day after day.

Oh, how relatable! I'm notorious for "research stalling". Maybe this is why people like to write fantasy? There's nothing to fact-check in a completely fictional world.

I downloaded Obsidian, once.
Emphasis on once. I only opened it for a minute or so, too, before giving up entirely and deleting the app.

I'd like to think that, but something tells me that I'd end up in a research rabbit-hole no matter how unrealistic the writing.

So there's at least 3 Obsidian avoiders in here!

And you're right. My novel that I refuse to edit is fictional sci-fi, yet I spent HOURS on research trying to figure out how a massive ship could realistically clear the Earth's gravitational pull. Like dude, who cares? Just make it happen! I don't need to invent a new means of space propulsion for a story three people will read.

Byc articles is a goal I wanted to give myself but I can only seem to do it in bursts of hyperfixation on the topic
