This used to be the freewrite Friday. I need to get back to it because that was a vibe. It was a way to lock in on the writing and be creative every single week. I have not been creative on a weekly basis like that in some time. Doing it is how I keep my mind sharp and start moving back towards stories I care about telling. Reading Binti the other day reminded me how creative I am not as of late, as well as how much of that has to do with the detritus built up around my life and my focus. I don’t even know how to be alone anymore. I just sit in front of the screen searching for nonsense and doomclicking until I realize my time of writing solitude is over. Oh how I miss my beach.
Still, I believe I can salvage something of a system here. I simply need to remember how to be a consistent writer. I need to do this fairly quickly as my schedule is mounting, stripping me of the ability to have time for anything. Due dates are mounting indeed. Gotta lock in fast.
Some Thoughts:
- Home vibe still not at all condusive to the life of a writer.
- Nor is owning a Switch… Specifically, the game Slay the Spire is ruining me. I cannot win. 25 hrs and no completed runs. Punk level stuff right there.
- Cool Worlds on youtube is my new lowkey ASMR fix. My man is spitting science in that chill accent and I am here for it. The best ASMR remains accidental. No over-sexualization, no desperate for clicks dudes or chicks, just words and vibe. Oh and I learn stuff too.
- My dog is a terrorist. I’ve had to cover our garden in wire mesh because he insists on digging it up every time we aren’t looking.
