June 4th Prompt, gotten from WritingExercises.co.uk (which I have been using for prompt for years) > First Line Generator

In the market, a cloaked figure sold maps to...

... an update with an idea of how my short story went.

Will make a separate post for yesterdays prompt.

... prompts / a prompt generator and will be writing some short stories. I plan to do one everyday. How long? As long as I can.
Will also give me something to post about so this account doesn't go ghost town again.
I'm thinking of posting the prompt I'm using, then a few hours later posting...

2/3

BOO! I'm back.
Very quick update~
The writing project I mentioned in my last post is done, and I've graduated (ta-da) am also currently in exams (only till next Thursday though)
Last night I decided I was out of practice in writing, so I have gone back to my roots - will now be using random...

1/3

(Just be warned, it might not be an update and instead be a bad joke. I've been collecting them. You have been warned)

Totally didn't forget this account existed... nope... not at all....

And what better time to start posting again than when I'm a month behind schedule on a writing project?

Might post an update later about what I've been up to.

More painting!
This piece isn't done yet - it's a part of a secret santa present for a peer, so once I work out sizing I will be adding her name to the middle stretch.
Added the shading and sparkles just there and have suddenly fallen in love with the piece, so I had to share it :)

Guess who lost their writing streak because they decided to paint, and that it 'wouldn't take long'....
Yeah, an hour has suddenly passed and midnight has come and gone. Oh well, more painting it is! XD

Haven't been writing a lot lately, giving myself a break after my last writing day. Yesterday I had the tickling to do something creative, so here I am introducing y'all to one of my first loves in the creative field. Painting. Here's the piece I painted yesterday.

(and to quote myself from earlier. My fingers feel drunk. I still don't know if it makes sense XD)

I'm done 🏳️

Started writing at 8:45 today, reached my goal at 23:30. I took an appropriate amount of breaks throughout - had a whole lot of coffee (and water) along with snacks.

So yeah, this is why I average at 2.5k on good writing days, my brain becomes literal mash anything past 5k in one day.

I left a similar number of words for the last day last year too and managed it despite having a busy day.

Going to write a bit more tonight before going to bed so I don't start in the morning with a 0

Day 29 done.
I did much better today than I have been doing the past few days (averaging out at about 400 words per day)

I wrote 1,690 words today, leaving me with 8,982 words to write tomorrow.

Anywho I should get back to writing. I have 27hrs 49mins to write 10k, and that feels a lot scarier now that I've broken down the exact hours.
I-
I'm going to go write now XD
Wish me luck?

Anyone else ever forget that you need to actually write to reach your wordcount goal? Like you will be daydreaming about a scene, and then realise that you've been staring at a blank document and now can't remember how the scene started?

Also, wrote a scene on how they first met - which has changed considerably from the original plan.
These two have officially stollen my heart for at least the next week.
Next up, actually deciding what they look like 😬

Maybe now that they have distinctively different personalities I'll stop mixing the two of them up 🙃

Might not have written as many words as I would have hoped today, but it was still a good writing day.

I grabbed two side characters that I previously failed to give real personalities and backstories to, and just went wild.

2,547 words today
38,058 / 50,000

Yeah no, that didn't happen. Made the post and decided to get straight back to writing XD
Ahh well, my guitar will get some love at some point, but it's too late in the day now to start playing

Suddenly got the urge to pick my guitar up for the first time in 2 years... Guess I should re-install my tuning app

Though now that I look at that, I'm probably not procrastinating and just getting distracted 😅

Thanks! I'll try that!
My issue is that I know exactly what I want to write, my mind just keeps wandering and I can't concentrate :/
Luckily I have actually made some progress since making that post :)

If I could stop procrastinating that would be great

(I say as I procrastinate writing by making a post about wanting to stop procrastinating)

I pulled my thoughts together long enough to write 1,000 words 🥳

I think that I shall now wait the 30 minutes until midnight so I can start working on tomorrows goal since I won't have a lot of time to write tomorrow.
Tomorrow is cleaning day 😶

Now I'm going to try write again, this time without background music since I can't be trusted with it right now 🤣

(try is the keyword lol)

Things I have done instead of writing today:

- painted the cover of my journal
- thought about writing while staring into space
- Dance and sing along to 'background music' while trying to write
- talked about writing
- complained about not writing
- lots of doom scrolling
- make this post

It's looking amazing!
