bedesPath: Moonlight Trail
My goal: 25,000
Minimum words to hit each day: 834
Current word count: 7,659
Current average words per day: 851
It's no secret that my mental health's been in the gutter, so I've been struggling to write. Still, I've managed to keep my average word count per day above my goal. Thankfully, just before The Big Incident, I started a sillier, more low-pressure project to write an article rating all of my pride flags. I just finished and uploaded that to my personal site today. It made for a good buffer while I tried to get my act together. I even had the 2nd highest wordcount out of everyone on the Moonlight Trail at one point, so that was cool!
I'm going to be starting on a project that I'm very excited about next: the one I've temporarily named "History Hates Lovers", until I come up with something better. I hope that doing a project I've looked forward to will motivate me, and not just end up making it come out like garbage. A lot of today was pooling together the research and resources regarding the relevant topics. Research is one of my favorite parts of writing, especially for something like "History Hates Lovers" which largely relies on historical elements, so I'm having fun with it.
