@ Cat Goddess Hina
congrats, dude!
@ Gronk
perhaps a break might be in order? i think it's early enough in the month where if you wanna test stepping back from it to breathe (and then coming back only if you want to) shouldn't be too bad!
@ aliens.
sending good vibes
nano is such a roller coaster for me lately, good christ.
i got stuck at like 6k for the longest and got so discouraged by everyone blazing ahead and meeting goals and then, y'know, the election, which drained me of everything. but the funny thing is, i think the election was a great kick in the ass. i've been looking for distractions and alongside listening to my favorite playlists and hiding within some of my favorite old videos and games, i'm writing like hell all of a sudden. i think it helps that it's a story with a dark tone, which i can knock a bunch of words out for quite easily when i get to heavier scenes because i kinda just....get carried away.
it's harder to write the even-numbered chapters because, right now, they're much lighter than the odd-numbered ones, but i'm getting there.
i may take a break to write a cute and fluffy oneshot though because why not go for a smile and some tooth-rotting fluff that isn't squeezed between a hot mess of a story? it can't hurt!
and to think, i was like thiiiiiiis close to quitting!
i'm not thanking the bull that got me here, though. i'm good.
