One day, I hope to reach that level of coding, where I can look at past work and go, "Oh dear god wut"
The massive tone/pace shift that happens during the synthesis/denouement section of a draft causes me stress every. single. time.

I almost never reach flow state when writing, but regularly turn into a flow zombie revising. Forget eating, forget drinking, forget blinking.
Flow or no flow, though #writing is bliss. #andobservingπ #andwritingβοΈ
Closing in on finishing draft #2 of a novel. I write literary #fiction and would love to find another #writer in the same vein with whom to swap feedback/critiques.
(No implied criticism for other types of fiction--I just don't have as much knowledge of other genres to be a helpful reader for someone!)

Reading my current novel draft on a tablet sans keyboard to force myself to focus on flow and plot structure and not edit, and it. is. killing me. π

#Writing update! Struggled my tail through the overhaul of Act II of my second draft of the current WIP (novel). That was... painful.
Still finessing needed at the level of language, but the structure is (I think) finally there. π
On to Act III!

#Writing update: Recobbled #novel draft two through the Midpoint.
Still needs work at the sentence level, of course (that'll be draft three's work), but now at least the plot is hanging together up until here.
Staring ahead, though, at the repairs that need to be made on the second half and trying to bolster my courage to dig in. πͺ
