hit my writing goal two days in a row c:

after several weeks of missing it

hopefully this is the start of a new trend

i think i should really just not worry about quality and get the words on the page

like i was stuck in limbo for those several weeks because i was revising when i hadn't even written 10% of the total work

not worrying about quality and just getting words on the page is standard advice, which normally i don't follow it because it doesn't work for me. way too many instances of a story going completely off the rails because i just write whatever

however this time i am working from an outline, one that i've spent a lot of time and energy honing. i'm hoping that the only reason words-on-the-page doesn't normally work for me is because i'm simultaneously writing and planning — and that if i've already done all the planning then i can lean on that structure
