Didn’t like how this invaded the feed so I’m going to edit to add days and only reblog weekly to boost.

4:1 Fanfic 1600 Why? Why is it so easy? I didn’t even know what shape the scenes were going to have. And I’m jetlagged as heck. I did edit one scene of the novel. 

4:2 Novel 500 I cherry picked an easy scene and then did a crappy draft of it. But it’s 500 words. Fanfic 2200 which means I finished chapter 24 in draft. Needs a lot of work before posting. And my writing style is shifting, what the heck am I reading that’s causing that?

4:3 Nada. Zip. Jet lag took me totally out.

4:4 Edited the outline for the novel. Not much, but something. I reviewed 70 pages of someone else’s manuscript. Doesn’t really count, but...

4:5 Last class for my novel writing workshop. Otherwise, no progress there. Edited fanfic. Might have added 200 words. Didn’t mark totals.

4:6 Fanfic edit and post. Didn’t write anything new.

You're a thirteen year old girl. For the past three or so years, instead of teaching you not to talk to strangers, your father has been neglecting you on good days, and beating you on bad days, simply because you have super powers, and no one believes you, and and instead they tell you you deserve it. A week or so after your own father sends you to the hospital with a broken arm, a well known person you admire, who is villainized for also having super powers appears in your bedroom and tells you, "Hey, I've been there too. Your father beating you is not okay. I can take you away from him and protect you, and you'll be safe with other kids with super powers."

I need to do this in a likely futile attempt to force myself to work on my original stories at least as much as my fanfic. Fanfic is a drug. Admitting that is the first step to recovery. Right?
