A first session today, hope to add a second later. Flowed well, but I am at a moment in the series where a great deal of exposition is necessary, (and earned) and I am trying to make it work well.

β€œYou're doing a good job!” – ChapelWitch

Suffered insomnia overnight, so a truncated writing session.

β€œHope you sleep better tonight!” – ChapelWitch

A second session for today, far more productive than I thought it would be going in. The muse had me by the throat.

β€œExcellent!” – John M

I left this session late in the day, still it flowed reasonably well.

Flowed very well. Pre-writing scene planning has worked wonders for my flow state recently.

β€œYes! It works really well for me, too. When I get stuck it's usually because I don't know what's happening.” – Rachael

A first session today, hope to make a second later on after missing yesterday altogether. I have reached a series of "candy bar" scenes in the book, and am overthinking the writing, getting in my own way and the way of the flow. Need to remember to surrender to the process, and let go of the reins a little.

β€œIt helps so much to see other people saying the same things I feel!” – Rachael
β€œYou're back on it, and that's a good feeling!” – ChapelWitch

β€œAnother pre-day job session. I wish I could have written longer, I have reached one of the candy-bar scenes in this book.” – ChrisH
β€œWell done!” – ChapelWitch

Flowed very well. The muse took the scene in a different direction than I initially considered, but it fits well.

β€œI love it when that happens!” – Rachael
β€œHail the muse!” – ChapelWitch
β€œAlways great when flow hits.” – PhilipVE

A second session for today, grateful to get more words down.

β€œGood work!” – ChapelWitch

A session marred by some logistical rethinking and reordering scenes. I have moved to a second POV thread and am splicing it into the main narrative at the most salient moments.

β€œI have the same issues.” – AKastanis

another pre work session. Felt a little forced this time.

β€œGood for you!” – ChapelWitch
