Do it, do it!

How's everyone's writing life going this week?
Writing is going much slower than editing was, but I still feel on track to get through my next couple of planned chapters. I added another weird google search to my efforts: "Plants and herbs used in medicines and native to sea level land in Asia." So fun...

I finished the first scene of Fallen Angel yesterday. It's like 600 words, but it's a start.
Writing is definitely slower than editing. I don't know if it requires more mental effort or just a different kind of effort. As long as you're making progress, don't worry about the pace.

Since you can't own one, may I suggest Sea Otter Foundation or the WWF? Almost the same as owning an otter, but none of the poop!
I hope you're having the happiest of birthdays! :bighug:

Woo! Yay! (We need a cheerleading emoji.) I guess these little guys are the closest: :wave: That's 600 more words than you had, so I say good work!
I think it's a different kind of mental effort. Since editing you already have something there, but you're trying to improve on it; whereas, if you're writing you're typing it out for the first time from ideas. I'd feel better if my favorite muse was being more nitpicky, I think. But I say all this and I'm halfway done with the chapter I was working on, so it's really all fine in the grand scheme of things. I think I'm just worried that I'm being lazy because I didn't try to commit to "write ____ words in the month of February" or "edit ____ chapters so they're ready to post by Wednesday." All I have is "edit your one chapter per week, also write if the mood strikes." Feels weird.
