Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
This novella is taking me through changes in techniques and character development. I found myself writing some transitional beats I would have sworn it didn’t need but now I see otherwise.
Elaboration was more than a sentence or two in many cases. Arcs were shut down in the first draft, as opposed to closing them in a satisfactory manner.
When I wrote them I was sure they were done but opening them up showed more depth of characters and paying off a lot better than before.
Other elaborations opened up an arc and gave the characters room to be themselves as well as push the story forward.
I didn’t think there were more discoveries with the characters but here I am finding things about the characters who keep evolving.
It was odd at first to have a gut feeling that the story needed more work and to put pen to paper and see it not as filler or fluff.
This story was brought to a solid first draft, left alone and allowed me to see there was room for improvement.

Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
Outside has that gloomy, post rain look. The sun peeked out earlier but I dont aee it now. I said after I get my journals and blog post done, Im gomma get to a fiction writing session.
I has fat fingers, so I can’t well type today. I’m dragging at the moment. Id say this weather is trying to dictate mood to me, but bouncing back is part of the experience. An iced latte will help me get my spirits up. I hope.
Did write yesterday. Not sure if I 100% like it so I had to leave it alone. Perhaps today will yield a new perspective.
Happy creative endeavors.
Ouch
Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
Lets start with me waking up some aches. After I eat im gonna take some pain meds. It will help tremendously. I got eye allergies going on. Got up and took my meds. Those gotta go ASAP
Yesterday did have some writing in the mix. I’m so grateful for that time. We shall see how today rolls out. Best to keep things moving.
Onwards and upwards.
Happy creative endeavors.
Calm, Cool, Collected
Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
Im tired. Haven’t had my coffee yet and I need to get something to eat soon. Not discombobulated but if I went back to be, I’d fall asleep ans forget this day.
Writing fell flat yesteday. I did the blog post, but that was in. Ain’t nothing else went down. You know what? That’s ok.
Why? I kept adding parts to the novella on a daily basis. There are days when I mean cool down and the goal is not to think of this novella at all. To lose myself in the days and experienced. Truth is as a writier I dont see the flaws in the text until it has left my thoughts.
That said I have ideas and some text to add to the content.
Happy creative endeavors.
Meh (Again)
Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
I haven’t written much as of today. It’s a lull. Not sure what happened. That said, I gotta get a blog post done.
I did have errands and chores, so those turned out well. It also wasn’t too hot today. The chores were laundry and then cooking. Had the absolute best loaded baked potato.
Being full may have something to do with not feeling much. I do have some ideas I need to put to paper soon.
We shall see.
Happy creative endeavors.
Motivated
Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
Despite my creative progress, yesterday the vibes were off. I was not feeling my creative power. It was a day where I was ready to go to bed not writing.
The day before was filled with energy to write, rewrite, and format. Perhaps I hit a low energy energy.
I made myself do the five-sentence minimum for the day and wrote a simple beat I believe the story needed.
This scene needs elaboration. It feels sparse and lays down bare bones. It is a scene. It needs to be formatted and I’ll work from there.
So those days where I don’t feel like I’ll go rounds with the text, can offer some quieter moments.
A low vibe moment can create impactful content. Trust the process.
Happy creative endeavors.
Cutting Words
Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
Rewriting is hard, and sometimes I know I can’t see what’s the problem with the text. I wrote a passage that really thought was introspective and I was cooking. Well, it was introspective and I did cook, however it was too long.
Five formatted pages later, I reread the text and determined not much was happening to warrant five pages. I trimmed 2 of the pages off.
There are parts of the story that are worth keeping. The other parts I loved writing, but they have to go.
Now, for the sake of not editing to edit, I gotta let this beat cool down.
In the meantime I have to compile a few more add ons for the story and may have to scrap another scene I don’t think really fits anymore. I like it a lot though.
Happy creative endeavors.
Monday October 5th 2026
Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
Yesterday I was busy with duties and left little work to write. As I planned I’d be taking the rest of the week to organize my writing. Of course I had a few ideas for new stories last night and jotted them down. I’ll revisit them later.
I woke up discombobulated and a little tired. Did I need more sleep? Possibly. Was I cranky? Yes. Did I have too much coffee while doing work? Yes, yes, and yes. So uneven sleep mixed with sudden cooler weather, and it’s a recipe for a hot mess.
While it is fall, usually I get thrown off by DST, which intensifies all the adjustments, but I’ll take this as a sign that it will come, go and leave me more oriented. For now I need to get some content formatted.
As always, happy creative endeavors.
Sunday October 4th 2026
Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
Writing has stalled, but not in the I’m outta ideas way. By time my work was done I was exhausted and didn’t do much of anyrhing. Even gaming was not in the cards.
I did plot out some upcoming designated time for sitting down and completing the formatting of new text and typing out somw handwritten content. So, I’m putting faith into that time to do the thing. Knowing me after coffee tomorrow I’ll be on the laptop providing I don’t have errands to run.
Right now I’m ready to prop my feet up, relax and forget this day. It hasn’t been a bad day. I just wanna be in that relaxing zone. Some food and chilling is in order. I need that litte reset. I have plans. You’ll see.
Happy creative endeavors.
A Late Night Post
Hello. Hope all is well and you are safe.
I’ve been busy and my creative output has been low. This is ok cause I am seeting aside time to get in top of somw things.
On last Friday I started compiling my story ideas. Get them formatted and read to be added to the main draft. Its a slow process and I also fixed some typos along the way. I added a few sentences.
I could stand some rest and a recharge. We shall see what happens.
Happy creative endeavors.
