Trying To Build Habits Is Hard When It's Something I Don't Want To Do. I Want The Rewards. So I'll Do

Trying to build habits is hard when it's something I don't want to do. I want the rewards. So I'll do it. But it sucks. Exercise is the habit.

Time to see if the muses favor me. If they do I will complete a fic. If not.. I will still have written something.

The two forms of word generation for me

Fugue state/ muse possession: the words flow through me. I come out of it hours later confused and elated. It's time to read what was written, maybe do some light editing, maybe some tweaking. I usually look over the words with pleasant surprise because I enjoyed reading them.

I have an idea: there is a bit of dialogue, a specific scene or image in my mind and I must get it out. Takes work to get through the chapters, sometimes stalls out and I can't write that story anymore until I enter form 1. Much more editing work and tweaking goes on.

I'm learning to use both of these forms to actually finish long fics. Carried by Our Desolation is mostly type #2. Let Me Break Your Ribs and Climb In Next To Your Heart is mostly type #1.

Writing or drawing, writing or drawing... Hmm. I am officially getting sick and need to distract myself from my symptoms. Took the youngest to the doctor, they did some tests. It's not these 4 things. Good luck. Story of my life.

He can totally sprain them. Absolutely can sprain them. They just heal faster than a normal human.
