Hey, at least you're still writing! Write what you feel inspired to write, even if that means jumping around between stories.
Yesterday was not very productive for me, but I did at least get a start on the next chapter.
I finished hanging artwork in my Shining bathroom this morning, and I love it so much! I tweeted some pictures here: https://twitter.com/RokofAges75/status/1420063096283017225
mare:
Love it!
RokofAges75:
Thanks!

I saw this Reddit thread about "sandbox books," stories or series that you keep playing in even if you'll never finish or publish them. https://www.reddit.com/r/writing/comments/osn2l5/do_you_have_a_sandbox_bookseries_one_that_you/ Do you have (or have you ever had) any sandbox stories? If so, tell us about them. Are they published online? Do you see yourself finishing them someday?
00Carter definitely seems like a sandbox story to me. I doubt it will ever be finished, but it's fun to play in from time to time. Some of my most creative writing has come from that story, and it has definitely challenged me and broadened my horizons as a writer.
I don't have any stories like this that aren't posted. I eventually post everything that makes it past the first few chapters.

Yeah, I don't know what it is about the other one... Maybe the five structured POVs? The two Nick chapters I've written so far were just so easy. I don't get it. Although, now that I think of it, I've also been pretty meticulous about tracking everything I do writing-wise to kind of see how my work on stories varies (all the things NaNo normally asks about like times and mood and such). However, I think it's sucking the fun out of it. I think the only thing I really like tracking is my word count, so I think I may go back to just tracking that as I keep writing.
I subbed in an infant classroom yesterday and then had the last session of a PD I signed up for in the evening. I took a twenty minute nap between, wrote one sentence, and went to bed, lol. But the streak lives!
I think you did a great job! :) It's a work of art. Now Rose needs to show us her redone bathroom too.
