It's been slow going for a few days - not sure why, think I probably shouldn't have given myself a night off when I did. Nonetheless, I seem to still be going and I've written a good amount tonight, so I'll take it as a win!

A REC FOR YOU GUYS:





This fic made me laugh so hard my internal organs hurt. It's completely and utterly ridiculously funny crack - and yet, somehow, still seems in-character? If you would like to read about how Cobb is a registered nurse, Arthur has always secretly wanted to be Robin the Boy Wonder and Yusuf can move things with his mind, read on!


The Adventures of Yusuf, Best Superhero Ever by [livejournal.com profile] jibrailis. Extract: Yusuf had not expected the process that would start with him being bitten by a cat and end up with him becoming a superhero, but to be fair, he hadn't expected Casual Friday either.

19K is pretty impressive. My favorite professor said that writing every day during a certain point in the day is the best way to force yourself to write. Then again, somedays you just need time to relax and not force the words out.

That's pretty much what I do, actually - and it really helped me to start writing properly again. Every night about 9.30pm or so I make myself stop doing whatever else and get some writing done, and my discipline seems to have returned as a result.

Another thing I found helped was that at first I made myself physically move to a different place to write so that my brain associated it with working. I don't need to do that any more though (which is nice from a laziness POV!)
