possible camp nano thread because i am taking all the motivation i possibly can:
OKAY so i’m going to aim for 40,000 words across the month because that seems mildly potentially maybe feasible for me. i already have some stuff pre-written for this book because it’s been sort-of-comically-complicatedly-in-the-works for years now. kind of. it’s a long story.
anyway it feels so weird and also amazing to finally sit down and actually write it properly with a solid plan of action. it kind of doesn’t feel real because it’s been coming for so long??
did some speed writing last night and got to 1.5k at like 1am but only because half of it was already done and just needed revising...still classing it as a very strong start though :)
on the flip side it just took me like half an hour to write four sentences because i spent twenty minutes googling a word
hope i don't jinx something by tweeting that i'm on a roll but I AM ON A ROLL. i say, on day two. probably going to come back to this tweet in a week and cry. ANYHOW character introductions are fun and that's where i'm at so it's all a good time
i jinxed it
i so badly want to describe this milf as gillian anderson but. she is simply not like gillian anderson. i am sad at my own brain.

THESE BITCHES RIGHT HERE. BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. I HOPE THEY ARE HAPPY KNOWING HOW MUCH TROUBLE THEY CAUSE ME.

hashtag when your characters are smarter than you but you’re the one that has to write them
got more writing done in one train journey than i have over the entirety of the past week... maybe i should just start getting trains to nowhere for the sake of it
spent all morning working on background stuff so like i’ve been really productive but my actual word count has not changed. rip. i may never catch up but that is okay.
sat writing my novel about a group of gay nerd criminals next to my flatmates who are watching after. i don’t know what specific strange vibe this is but i feel like it is one.
10K PARTY LET’S GOOOOO
i’ve got about 15k of pre-written scenes that i’m going to get to at some point which is going to both speed things up and also feel slightly like cheating but oh well. they probably need a fair amount of editing so i’ll just count them for that.
