silveradeptGreetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-in post for 08 August 02019.
Apparently, I stumbled onto something wise yesterday in comparing writing to breadmaking. Sometimes you have to work a lot at it, kneading it, working it, stretching it, getting it into shape and adding the ingredients at the right time, and sometimes you have to leave it alone in a warm drawer or a hot oven and wait until its ready.
Not every day is going to be 3000 words toward a novel. Sometimes the ideas need some rest and to prove in the background until they're ready for what happens next.
I am apparently taking my own advice on this for a bit - I wrote this entry, and some kind words in the program, and the weekly roundup bits, and I might go back at the WIP that's not exchange-related for a bit tonight, but I'm not really running hard in the words department right now. Maybe when some more source for the Giving of Grief gets in, I'll start knocking down a few thousand words of WTF at a time.
