“I haven’t had trouble with writer’s block. I think it’s because my process involves writing very badly. My first drafts are filled with lurching, clichéd writing, outright flailing around. Writing that doesn’t have a good voice or any voice. But then there will be good moments. It seems writer’s block is often a dislike of writing badly and waiting for writing better to happen.”

400 more words exist than I thought would tonight. Still 2k shorter than I wanted to be, but I'm so tired that my eyes are, like, filming over or something else to make them fuzzy like this. It's super awesome. I wanted to get 3k more yesterday than I did, but my right shoulder decided to start spasming in the most agonizing way that I've felt... all year, or something /o\ I think that's a lie too. It was painful enough to make me cry, I'm still sure I was in more pain at a different point this past WEEK. WTF is this shit. Spikes in my side, shoulder hating me, blah blah. oh, whatever. I just can't even care right now. Too tired. Too upset at this being this far behind. #never going to catch up
