Every morning I’ve been trying to write at least 250 words or for at least 30 minutes and while it’s not the best it’s still an exercise that I hope will help me get better with writing. Currently, I’m aiming for about 5,000-10,000 word short story loosely based on characters or items I find on dwarf fortress. A bit random but it’s a good launching point.
I’m doing my darndest not to look back at what I’ve typed so far in fear of editing way too soon before I even finish the first draft but after a couple days it’s starting to get easier. Writing every morning is starting to get easier as well. If I had to liken it to something, it’s like waking up in the morning to watch the continuation of a cartoon you’ve been following for some time.
The plot for this first draft short story isn’t something special but I’m enjoying it, it could still go in a different direction from what I planned but so far it’s about a treasure hunting dwarf befriending an outcast that’s being hunted by cultists. I have a loose outline going on but like stated, dunno how it will end up.
Until next time!
