I'd like to aim to write 10,000 words during these two weeks! Lately, I haven't been able to write much but I really want to work through this new WIP.

@CidneyMayes LoFi! Medieval LoFi is a regular playlist for me, plus I recently found a "dark ambient" lofi playlist that I have been enjoying on Spotify. Music with vocals is too distracting for me.

as an aspiring author, i've come to the realization that no one in my life is going to understand how draining this all is unless they're *in it* themselves. not only do we have to come up with an idea for a story that moves people AND (1/4)
