superhero_musesI found a new list of questions, these about writing in general! So...
Do you struggle with the ‘boring’ parts of writing?
Hm, what are the "boring" parts? I assume the question means the parts that are not personally inspiring/energizing to me, the parts that exist to connect things I AM interested in. Usually no, I don't struggle with them, to be honest! Sometimes it can be hard to get going on them, but once I do, there's usually something I find that sparks my interest and is a pleasure to write!
I am almost done with a small ficlet this week--nothing in-depth, just a little character study to try and get my head around a different character. I've been spending a lot of my days sleeping, shocked at how exhausted I am now that this difficult semester is over. I walked to the coffeeshop for breakfast and had to lie down for a bit when I got back because I was just too beat from the five-minute walk to and fro. I hope you're less tired, or that if you are, you also have some time to recover and recuperate!

Date: 2019-02-18 09:54 pm (UTC)I seem to be the odd one here, haha! I actually enjoy editing, as it means I finally finished something and I get to go back and make it better, since I know my first drafts are always a mess. (Per the aforementioned unfinished sentence thing I do lol) I like finding all the creative strands I missed the first go around and seeing where they take me and if they were a better option than what I wrote the first time!
I do hope that you're feeling better now!!!
