Originally intended to be a journal of my writing, but now more of a general life journal.

930 words. I haven't written anything in almost two weeks. We've been so busy, and tired. I occasionally thought about where I'd left off, trying to decide how to get my characters from point A to point B. I sat down tonight, went over the map of my world, and then just started writing.
There were a few false starts, but once I let my characters start doing their own thing, I started to get somewhere.
I haven't found time to write the last two days. It's just been one of those weeks. I am almost done renovating a room in our basement, which will soon be my private office. I haven't had my own space in a few years, so I'm excited to get it done. Regarding when to write, most writers that I've read interview with have said they do their writing each day, first thing in the morning. I've tried that a few times, but it doesn't work for me. For some reason my head just isn't there, and nothing comes to me even if I do have a loose outline in my head. Evenings, after dinner, seem to work best for me. Hopefully, I'll be able to sit down and do some tonight.
511 words, and a little more revision. I know it's not much, but I'm very happy with what I'm getting down on paper, so to speak. A whole side-errand has emerged, and I think it'll be good for the story.
Only 470 words tonight, but I did a lot of revision to an important conversation. I feel pretty good about it.
I'm just now seeing that Mastodon doesn't show the titles of my posts. That kinda doesn't work so well.
Two characters that I intended to be passing side characters, have suddenly become integral to the story. I see lots of possibilities for one of them.
Yesterday, and this morning, were rough. I was distracted with the news, and lots of things needing done around the house. I came home after work and got a lot done, then sat down to re-work the combat scene I was stuck on. I'm happy with what I got down, and now excited to get to the next bit of the story.
I'm having a difficult time wording this battle scene so it makes sense. I'll probably give it another once over tomorrow.
I only had a short time to write, but it was nice to do it first thing in the morning. I'm hoping I can start getting up early enough to make that a regular thing.
