"I'm going to finish my damn story!": a support thread

[Soixenta]

It has taken somewhat longer than I intended, but last night I got back to my story. I wrote 800 words, and I have already added another 200 today. I know how the story is going to progress too, which was a large part of the problem.

I have managed 1300 words today. A sex scene has just started, and I do not think I can do it justice properly just now. Perhaps I ought to skip it and move on to the climactic scene of the series.

Well, didn't quite do as well as I was hoping this weekend. About 5.2k for both Saturday and Sunday, and my goal was to get 4k on Saturday. Most of it actually came today.

Got them out of the cafe and back to his place, and now I'm trying to balance rom-com energy with the heaviness of a demoness realizing that demon rights advocates view demons the same way PETA views rabbits being experimented on for make up.

Currently at 12k for this story. I have my work cut out for me if I want to get this in on time for my second Valentine's Day entry. Probably another 5k, finish up the scene at his place, get them to go to dinner, where the foxxubus will hit her nadir, then back to his place where there will (probably) be tender sex and affirmations about her status as a conscious being who deserves kindness and love. No idea what the ending is going to be. Gonna have a big think on it.

My story's finished, but because I decided to shelve it and my other WIPs for a while.

Any particular reason? Or just fed up of writing?

5K+ is nothing to sneer at.

Good going.

The exact opposite. I'm taking my writing a lot more seriously. The writing is continuing and picking up steam, but the tug between what I want to write and what works for Lit is there. So I'm taking a step back and asking "what happens to the writing when that's the ONLY thing I'm thinking about?"

Managed to finish that sex scene, now I just gotta get to the wrap up for the story.
