Post-NaNoWriMo Update - January 17, 2017

Total Words Written: 112.121

I think I discovered the absolute disadvantage of not writing on a daily basis - I struggle to get back into the flow, it takes ages to type even a single sentence and I'm thoroughly pissed off with the words not coming as easily as when I had nothing else to do than living and breathing the story, my thoughts constantly plotting and planning inbetween writing sessions.

I struggled to get 1000 words written, and am really pissed off that it took me more than two hours to write that little - thus effectively cutting short/off the time I planned to spend on answering to your comments and reading your posts, before I need to go to bed (thankfully, tomorrow's the last early-morning lecture for this semester... at the very least I won't have to cut the things I've planned short because I need to go to bed from tomorrow onwards *grumbles*)

So yeah, another day I won't be replying to you lovely ladies out there *sighs* I'm sorry :(

I'll try to crave out some time to do just that tomorrow - depending on how well I'm doing with studying time-wise I might or might not add writing to my "to do" list, but trying to catch up on at least a part of the the comments and posts waiting for me is definitely on!

In the meantime - if anybody of you uses Instagram - I can be found there as Amruniel (no shit, Sherlock...) - I'm not posting much, so I guess I won't be crowding your feed, but one of my goals for 2017 is taking pictures regularly (whatever that may mean -.-°°°), so if you're curious, feel free to stalk what I'm up to when I'm not around here ;) I'd love to see you there :)

So, this is where I have to say "see you tomorrow, my dears", I guess (and hope) :D

The writing will flow when it wants to. You have exams to concentrate on first! (Ooops, sorry, I guess I sound like your mum!)

Adding you on Instagram, do add me back if you like. My feed is locked but it does have some family members on there so comments (if any) have to be discreet! I haven't added my brother though, because he's perfectly capable of googling all the user names and linking it to LJ and narrowing down who I might be online!

Edited to add, most people on my Instagram friends list are LJ or ex-LJ, just not all.

You are the only one I'm absolutely okay with sounding as if you were my mum ;)
And yes, you're right - my priority should be the exam, but quite frankly, I need my time-outs from studying... and if the thing I'd be doing rather than studying turns to be a struggle in the short spans of time I can spend with it, it's even more frustrating!

(And I so want to keep up with writing that fic, I really fear completely loosing the great momentum I've had since November and being stuck with 100.000+ words of an unfinished fic because my muses decided to go on strike after not being needed for some weeks...)

Thanks for adding me, sweetie!
I'll keep my comments discreet, promised ;)
At my feed, feel free to go crazy :D Most of the (what? 3?) people who are following me know how crazy I am, and the other one is an author, so she should get "it" *grins*
