progress???

In 4 days i've written...about 1500 words... orz

That's still better than 0 words in 2 years, so I'm not beating myself up over it...yet. :p

I've never been a disciplined writer--even when writing for exchanges or challenges I spent most of my time procrastinating and the last few days trying to cobble together something respectable. So trying to write a little bit every day is...different. Yesterday I managed to write more than the first 3 days combined--hopefully that's not an outlier but a sign that the daily grind approach is having a positive effect.

I'm also writing out of chronological order; some years ago, I read some advice along the lines of "start by writing the scenes that are most vivid in your mind, and go on from there" which has always sounded appealing to me. I think one reason yesterday was more productive than earlier was brought about by hopping to something i felt more interested in...I do worry about my ability to stitch these scenes together later on, though. I normally deal with scene transitions by uh, not writing long enough things to require them. x_x

I wouldn't say it's been a FUN few days, but it has felt cathartic which is also good
