Still sleeping so weirdly, today I was up at 7am and then took a nap at 6:30pm and was woken up at 11pm. So now who knows when I'm going to go to bed or whatever...
It had also been a weird emotion day. My family needed my help and therapy techniques to work through a misunderstanding and that took up a surprising amount of my energy today. Not that I mind, I enjoy helping my loved ones. I was just expecting to have another productive day and it really wasn't.
I haven't done any writing yet today, I did work through some more of the edits for chapter one of Don't Feed the Bird. I discovered that I don't like the method of opening a blank document and rewriting the story, but I do like the method where you ready through and mark XX on places and write notes in a notebook. That actually was extremely helpful. That made me realize where I was missing information, where I could bulk up the story, and made me think of new ways to bring this specific story to life.
I'm adding two days to this chapter and because I already know the basic story I am able to bring in little hints and background stories that can weave through the main plot and strengthen it. I don't want to get too into the details of it in this. I mean I already shared chapter one a few times online and the main story isn't changing per say, but there are so many more details that will be brought in. Like I never even had a job title or NAME for the man in the first chapter before! And half the story happens at his job! But currently it is only 5 1/3 pages long, so how much detail am I supposed to have written in that space?
Now it's almost 1am, I don't know what else I will get done tonight before trying to go back to bed. I'm going to try to do some writing and maybe some more art. I don't know though, we shall see.
