Done killing myself for my story (for now)

[Zenftiy]

No idea, I come to work, and besides working my 10-hour shift, I also write. I am already at work, so... oh well, when I have time, I type.

Did you make a detailed outline beforehand? Because honestly, when I have free time, all I do is watch youtube instead of write things that make me dizzy every paragraph

He is probably the only person on the whole site without ADHD. Not sure how this can be taught or how you can replicate it at home.

Wait, so being normal is rare here?

I mean, you are not normal, I am not normal, and that gal over there is sure as hell not normal. I say it's pretty rare, yes.

Is paprika the secret behind your success?

I usually have the plot points I want to hit to reach the desired end of my story, but I usually wing it. I like writing without strict rules.

Probably. I inhale that shit.

Reading the comments, I am now even more sure that something is wrong with me.

You're a WRITER. Of course there's something - probably several somethings - wrong with you!

You also work? ? I'm amazed. I really wasn't kidding, 2500 word chapters every day was insane for me. I mean I straight up couldn't keep it up by the end of week 4, I couldn't think anymore.

Granted, I haven't used my writing muscles before, but wowza.

You can train it. I didn't start out like this either. Dial it back to 1500, and if you can keep it up consistently for months, you can slowly increase. 1800, 2000, etc.

I keep my chapters 2k-2,5k words long, which is a sweetspot I can keep doing. But it wasn't like this at the start, took me a year to get to consistently doing chapters every day.
