Summer on Berk

18k in and I am in the fun & games part / entering act 2 and can i just say that i am starting to get anxious again bc i fr fear the middle act bc i feel like writing it is a drag

writing feels like a riddle right now: wrote 5k and scrapped and rewrote, and then wrote up to 10k but then scrapped 7k and now I’m at 8k again. but still feel happy.

man that was so much math.

Sorry not sorry for the person I'm becoming when I have a new idea for a story. Those ideas need my attention right now. I will be gone to another universe that you will probably never see on paper.

almost 24K in... and getting stuck. :/ hoping to reach 25K+ today and just unstuck myself lmao
