I write sweet and steamy rom-coms with tear-jerker happy-ever-afters.

#authorblog Day 3

7/24/2019

My day started around 10-ish, and after brunch, I did my usual bit of procrastinating before getting to work. Honestly, if there's one thing that this #authorblog series has taught or shown me, it's simply how bad I am at time management. > . <
Anyway, I edited a few thousand words yesterday - I rewrote the first XXX scene (that's what I call sex scenes when I'm outlining) between H/h and I was also able to add almost 2K new words to my WIP.
We also went out for dinner last night.

And I worked on a couple of happy mails for my readers.

I think I spent more time doing non-writing things compared to actual writing, but one thing I've also learned from past experiences is to not force it. When I feel like a particular scene or plot point isn't working for me, I used to rewrite it over and over, but it never really works, and I always end up throwing the towel. More often than not, when I resume writing after spending some time away from my WIP, everything suddenly falls into place.
So maybe it's stress or something else, but either way, when something's not working, I simply take time off and do something relaxing like crafting.
That said, I still think I'm doing something wrong (imho). I know of writers who never or at least rarely have this problem, and they simply write day in and day out without ever questioning their outline or their vision for their story. I honestly think that's possible for them because they're no longer hindered by stupid stuff like excessive doubts and insecurities and caring too much about other people's opinions.
On this, I think I've significantly improved compared to how I was before. Hopefully, before 2019 ends, I'll be one of those writers, too, and I no longer question what I'm writing because I've found inner peace. :)

    Welcome!

    * Starting February 1, 2014, this blog will be dedicated to providing publishing tips for aspiring Filipino writers.
    * This blog is also where I share my theological views and how it affects my life and work as a writer. I consider myself an open-minded Catholic as I also have an uncle who's a Christian pastor. Luke 9:50 Jesus said to him, "Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you."
    I believe with all my heart that it is our personal relationship with God that saves us and NOT RELIGION.
