I swear, I need to just make a whole list of "what to post about when I don't have anything to post about" ideas, lol.
I'm very much a creature of habit, but breaking a habit (even once!) can completely derail it for a long while, and I struggle to reestablish it. So I'm afraid of skipping a day of posting... even when I don't have much to say.
Spent a little more time trying to work out a writing schedule for after this current WIP is done (almost there!) as well as the next one.
I did a really good job (at least so far) of the one I'd made before - it was fairly accurate to what I was able to get done. I didn't get wildly ahead, but didn't fall behind. But now I'm looking at a span of six-ish months and going "pacing??? ?? reasonable goals, what????"
I think I'm running up against a fairly perennial problem: the ideas I have/the number of things I'd like to write are in conflict with my actual writing pace.
( Cut because I just started rambling, lol )
So I'm kind of at the... managing expectations stage with myself. I know that this is a hobby - I have a full-time job, and it is not writing. This is for fun, and I never want to let it get to the point that it's more stressful than it's worth. If it stops being fun, I'm going to stop doing it at all. But still, the "okay, so it turns out you probably can't write ALL the things..." realization is a bit of a bummer.
