What you did instead of writing. The thread where you can confess your sins.

I am still impressed. My story only has 7 chapters so far and those were not written in a single week.
I want to play Pokemon, I want to play a lot of things ...
Taking off a week from work to play Pokemon, that sounds fun!
I hope that there will come a day where I take off a week from a stable job to play Pokemon and write.

It will happen one day. Just keep at it!

Don't you dare talk crap about the Chandelier, she's great. Also Litwick/Chandelure is a gen 5 lmao.

Also, bar some questionable choices, the new Pokemon designs are great lol. They are the least of my worries. Least the Galarian forms are all awesome lol.

Idk we all have our opinions on design I still think their absolute shit but sales figures speak otherwise

Anyway Pearl and Diamond/ BnW remake who's with me

The Gamer watches the screen
But out of Focus on their screen
Is the Time that they should have seen
But they were too Focused on the scene

Worked on some artificial intelligence. It's kind of my side passion.

Problem is I think I may have miscommunicated when I addressed the "novel generator" thing. My actual feelings is more complex: I used to be apprehensive, but now that I know how it works, I actually thing it's a great field to get into.

We wont have anything comes close to the kid in the Steven Speilburg movie AI anytime soon.

But it's an awesome topic.

Also getting back into learning languages now that I'm done with my last long term series.

Going to focus on stand alone books and short stories. Or maybe "Robotoplays", screenplays designed for robots.

I got sick and slept for 2 days (like 30-35 hrs/48 hours). 10/10 would be productive again.

I sat with my story's document open and daydreamed about what I was going to write.

That at least counts as planning, right?

 

[Scribbler]

I kept on asking myself if what I was writing was worth continuing.

That's true... Yup, that's the excuse I'll give to myself in future too~!

How do you find the will to write?

 

[Moonpearl]

How do you find the will to write?

I just write the next part and deliberately don't overthink it. What matters the most is having a finished piece - the real magic happens in the editing, so I try to make myself write even a ridiculous summary scene if I have to.

If I can't even bring myself to write quick crap, I wait until I get tired. Tired is as good as drunk for losing you inhibitions and no longer caring about perfection or deeper meaning.

I took two weeks off after finishing a novel series, then watched anime and read books/manga that I had put off for about 6 months. I didn't even contemplate writing anything else until my 'vacation' was over. Of course, once I 'came back', it was like I had never taken any time away and it was back to the daily grind.
Yep, I publish a chapter daily. Current book link is in my signature.
