Every day I write the book

Okay, I'm gonna do it. minim_calibre has been writing at least a hundred words a day for a long time, and I've always admired that. But I can't seem to write unless I'm forced to lately, so I'm imposing my own little hundred words a day challenge on myself, as well as writing this new thing as a WIP so that I can't let it slide. (I got 259 yesterday, my first day, so that was good.) Even if I'm depressed or in a lot of pain, I'm gonna make myself write something, even if I have to throw it out later.

I know everyone will want to tell me that they won't read WIPs, but I don't know if I can do something long anymore without the pressure to update.

This story I've been thinking of writing for a long time just feels like a long road of endless work and suffering, but I will do it. I feel incredibly incapable of it for other various reasons, not the least of which are that there's a lot of science and I am unsciencey and that much of it's set in places I don't know, and I especially don't want to mangle Wakanda. So, lots of research, which tends to stall me out because I loooove research and can easily lose myself down a rabbit hole and forget my focus.

Research: the irresistible siren temptress of the writer's wine-dark sea.
