Firstly, saw a resounding plea for the new exercises to feature pacing and flow + description, which means hybrid exercises, which means I must test my writing exercise creative skills. NO PRESSURE.
Nah, it'll be fun. I'm actually seeing my own flow issues while revising, so it'll help me out too.
SECONDLY, the first week of July is over, how we doin'? Tell me your progress and non-progress and frustration. Tell me all the things.
Yesterday, I revised for eight straight hours and I'm losing my mind. I'll probably make a post about it on the blogspot just so I can stall a little longer. The sad part is that I'm only on chapter nine. SHAME.

emergencymariah said: I was being a bit dramatic. It’s frustrating that I can’t write ideas exactly the way I imagined. No words yet, but I cut the word count for camp nano to 25k. The outline is looking good.
No way, man. The story we imagine in our heads is never the same story that ends up on paper, I can promise you that. Every book I've written doesn't look like the thing that was in my head (and I've written a whole lot). Revision can bring you a little closer, but it'll never be quite right.
How are those words?
lookatthewords said: lol glad you liked my sound effect! I think too much time thinking about doing the writing and not enough writing really intimidated me from the story. But now I decided to dive in and things are movin now!
pshkerkherehshsh I LOVE IT if only I could make it. ALSO i almost didin't recognize your name bcs you changed your icon and i was like what has happened.
i know that feel -- thinking is a necessary evil, but too much of a good thing will psych you out. things still movin?
littlest-pepper said: Yes, I’m in! 0/60,000, but I have the entire plot written out, start to finish, so I can begin writing later today! Hopefully having the guideline will save me a lot of time.
YEAH. Then it'll help you from getting stuck until you characters change and say lol this plot is wrong i'm going to do this thing instead. And how are them words lookin' so far?
mythicalmiracles said: I don’t know where my writer’s block came from, honestly. One minute I’m writing, next the words won’t come out for anything.
I hope you've been giving yourself a break, then. Sometimes that happens to me, too, where I'm movin' and groovin', and then suddenly all my fuel dries up. Some time away usually helps me regenerate.
lupusdraconis said: I collaborate with my husband. Our marital spouts are usually creative disagreements. :) We hand passages back and forth, and edit each others’. I also do a lot of editing while he’s at work, or when it’s his turn to write.
WOW. That's exactly what I do with Victoria, down to our marital spouts. Have you two finished any manuscripts yet or tried to get published?
anipendragon said: We are totally fated. So Potential (B4/1) is going well, I’m 1,300 words into it. Star Wars and MLP are actually two different things. MLP is Human! High School AU and Star Wars is a What If. MLP is in planning, Star Wars is on Chapter Four! Huzzah!
Okay, I'm gonna ask you what you mean by B4/1 because I keep reading it as book 4 out of 1 and I'm like, I know I'm really bad at math, but.
ALSO I MEAN, there's totally nothing wrong with a MLP Star Wars crossover, I mean, more power to you. You've got so many projects going, I don't even know how you manage it. I can only focus on one at a time, and that alone drives me to this edge of crazy that the personal tumblr is embarrassingly reflecting.
