Apr. 23rd, 2015 08:54 pmOogh I got neither enough writing nor enough sleep yesterday. And today was dead at work and I was too shuffling dead to take advantage of it and get writing done so I could go to bed early tonight. C'est la vie, but still ugh.
I mean, on the plus side the writing is coming as fast as it ever was, which is good because I'm up to needing to do at least 4k a day to stay afloat and get done in time at this point. Unless I count the words I wrote before it started, which I don't want to do because I want to draft the fucker and be done with it. But still. The other other other plus side I guess is that I'm heading towards the end where shit starts getting real all over the place, and the action seems to flow pretty easily from one thing to the other? Except where I need to name my villains and either give them personalities or... something. That's a later problem. And as far as first drafts go, that's not much of a later problem.
I am also kind of... I don't want to say breezing through this Arabic book but it definitely helps that I learned the writing part of the alphabet first, most of the alphabet. And then the part I have to work on is the pronunciation and the more cultural, idiosyncratic parts that has to do with learning a language that has multiple widely-spoken dialcts yay. Still fun, though. Still hoping I can get to the grammar and the making of sentences pretty quick.
Of course I get distracted by doing every other thing and now I'm not going to bed early, or getting all of my writing done, but there's always tomorrow and this weekend, right? Of course right. I'm going to die. Or at the very least not get this drafted.
No, I will. I am Determined. I'm just also very tired and it feels like I haven't gotten a decent night's sleep for having too much shit to do in about three weeks.
