That time of day again. Although man im tired today I might be a little more conservative with me amount today Today's Goal: reach 59K. Fingers crossed I dont fall asleep on me keyboard #WordCount #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

I DID IT: Hit my daily goal. 56K achieved 🎉 IM SO TIRED ME NEEDS SLEEP. 😴 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WordCount

@StevenTBoers63 😆 I can see why you would think that could probably add a word in there to explain it better 😆

@ThomasJScarrott My first thought when seeing your goals was: you want to write 56k words a day?! I eventually got it. 😅

Current Goal: Finish First draft. Ballads of Bloodlines. A Breath before War ⚔️ Daily Goal: 56-57k Weekly Goal: 63-65k Coffee is my best friend ☕️ #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WordCount

That does seem to be the way. 😅

@ByTheLynx Ahh a like minded sophisticated weirdo i tip my hat to you

I decided to post whatever's in my head. even the weird stuff. even the stupid stuff. but sometimes — deeply intellectual thoughts. because occasionally I want to feel like a serious literary mind. the other 90%: walking cringe compilation. #writers #amwriting

@KhristinaChess I get that honestly habe to keep catching myself when I want to sit on a single paragraph for 3 hours till its perfect.

First drafts include lots of lazy writing. I have to keep telling myself that it's okay to write first draft slop. Just push forward. I need to know if any other characters are going to shock me and change my plot line. #5amwritersclub #writerslife #WritingCommunity

@HJamesWrites Characters making me laugh or cry to myself even if the scene hasn't been written yet

Writers, what motivates you to continue writing long-term? 📚🤓

@HLCarter_Author Well thats...

WHAT.

Update: I DID IT! 50K achieved. 🎉 Well 52K to be exact. along with chapter 10 started and finished thank god, that was a rough chapter. 😭 but I achieved my weekly goal just in time. 🎉 #WordCount #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

@StevenTBoers63 thats so true. most of the time i find it allows me to view a perspective i didnt have before making my side characters feel more 3 dimensional if nothing else

@ThomasJScarrott Well, strong moments in life can also make strong scenes.

Writing thought: Does anyone take things from real life and insert them into their book? I guess, if I think about it, I have, but it was such a minor thing. Are those inserts stronger because they're more real? Or does it matter? What do you think?

@NeedWriter I get the same way with day in the life scenes i know how it looks can I make it read normally not a chance

I have to write a fighting scene ⚔️ 💥 that is unskippable and I’m so so bad at it… Like in my head it’s perfect but idk how to make it fluid on paper… #amwriting

@TheGingerPerks I cant say I have a solid game like that I generally respect or just enjoy aspects of games even if not the entire thing. But Borderlands 3 came close. As well as Dragons dogma 2 but inky because of how kuch ut crashed when I first got it

Gamers, what is the one game you can’t stand / really didn’t like?

@TheGingerPerks My fave is definatly 6, but I habe a soft spot to 10, 13. 15 and 16 for a variety of reason And had a small addiction to 14 for a while 😆. But for the most part all up to 10 are worth it. 13 up isnt for everyone but still worth a look As for 12 and tactics they are fun

Final fantasy fans, should I play all of them, and start at 1? The only ones I’ve played are 10, 12 and 13 (tho I didn’t like 13 much at all). Which Final Fantasy is your fave?

@mjvalentour One day.

Makes a writer friend only to find out they are pro-AI #WritingCommunity

@Scriptlix_ Nice to know its not just me. I switched from my protag to his sister and then back to him a few chapters later and I just lost one of the side characters names I was like I can see you in my head but I do not know your name hmmmmm

@ThomasJScarrott yeah, multi-pov murders aside charactetrs. readers can cache 5-6 names per chapter, tjhen dump them all when you switch. by chapter 8 the friend from chapter 6 has fully evaporated.

Does anyone else hope POVs between there chapters spend quite a bit of time on one. then when returning to the old POV all the side characters names just poof out of your head forcing you to have to go back to find out what you called someone again. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Another Daily check to see if im weird or not 😆. Does anyone else write to music i can imagine its quite common. But does anyone hyper fixate on the tone that music is giving you. With it at times dictating how some of the flow of action scenes. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity
