Hi. 😎
🔹 I won't follow many people, so don't expect a follow back. HOWEVER if/when Lists become a thing here... beware.
🔹 Likes ≠ endorsements. Sometimes I may just like how a spout is worded (especially if there's a pun).
🔹 My dog may appear randomly for clicks & virtual treats.

It's now 2 chapters in a row doing this thing...
It's fine. It actually looks pretty good from the outlines.
Edit for previous chapter starts tomorrow. Need to remove 200 words in the initial edit, then try for another 500-1000.

For 15yrs I worked on a futuristic trilogy. It failed because I started rewriting it halfway through, then got stuck again before hitting the middle. Then the real world started being too much like what I'd imagined... 😬
I gave up, worked on a simpler novel, finished it 3yrs later.

Had chocolate mudcake at a cafe today. It tasted weird, but not terrible. Halfway through, a waitress appeared:
"Hi, so... I believe the 'chocolate sauce' there is actually balsamic vinegar."
😲
New employee error, apparently. They gave me an extra slice for free, which I took home.

And... done! I wrote just under 10K words 19 days in a row. 500ish words per day. Really enjoyed writing this chapter.
Seònaid D-R @SeonaidDRWIP's current chapter is set out like one of those In Medias Res/How We Got Here "episodes". Just wrote the initial scene (215 words) which will be repeated in full near the end. Whole chapter is outlined. Looking forward to how the rest of it goes.11:52 PM - Aug 19, 2023

Psychiatrist's colleagues said I should be put on the lowest dose of a med to check for tolerance of it.
I've declined that for now. I want to talk with my GP and neurologist (who diagnosed my MdDS) 1st. Also I've just had a bit of a revival re my writing & I really don't want to mess that up.

I've already stated how hesitant I am to take medication for ADD as most are stimulants, and my MdDS symptoms generally GO OFF THEIR ROCKER if I take anything more stimulating than a barista-made mocha. 🥴🤪🤢

I'm currently being assessed for ADD (or Inattentive ADHD). My psychiatrist said he'll reference my predicament with #MaldeDebarquement Syndrome, which exacerbates presumed ADD symptoms [making diagnosis tricky], at a conference in July.
Ergo, I'm a Case Study. 🙃

30 years ago today the best ever boy was born.
We called him "Ben" because he was bigger than his siblings (and continued to be so). He also went by "Bennerman" & "Pups".

Muse: No. Chapter's done.
Me: What?
Muse: See here? You alluded to what's in her next chapter.
Me: But the last scene would explain why.
Muse: It can wait.
Me: It had a cliffhanger.
Muse: Not really.
Me: Huh.
Muse: Want your end-of-chapter chocolate?

Me: Okay. Last scene will be 300 to 500 words.
Muse: Ha.
Me: Don't you dare.
Muse: You can't stop me.
Me: Some days I can't even start you.
Muse: This isn't one of them. Be grateful.
Me: ...
Me: I am.

Blocked a few users recently. Didn't want to do that on this acct because my series WIP has representation of some of those users.
I didn't block them for who they are but rather how they've behaved.
I don't care for presumed entitlement whether it affects me or not.
Don't throw that shit here.

Started a new scene. As more paragraphs formed I realised, yet again, that the chapter isn't ready for this analysis yet. So it's been pushed back to end off a planned scene in the outline. 😑

The fun thing about writing a chapter where the scenes don't work at the time you're writing them is that you can bring them in later where they do. Then you write segue paragraphs at the start & end before going on your merry way to where the next previously written scene could be. 😵 #amwriting
