On writing

There are things in life that take over and steal you away from writing. The most important thing that we have to keep in mind is that we must persist as writers. When we realize we've not written, we must force ourselves to get back on the computer and write some more.

I am not doing so well mentally, and that is why I'm forcing myself to write, because eventually it will pass.

Mental issues are never fun, and, while I should follow my own advice, it needs to be taken cared of.

With that said, I've been spending the past few days on IRC chat in #writingprompts and writing. It's good to be among writers than to be totally alone.

That said, I've been posting a few pieces to Chaptefy. One in particular was done when I had a few glasses too many of wine. It's... entertaining. Meanwhile, I'm still working on writing the millions of millions of years into the future where a human is resurrected from the dead and joins alien company. I am over 8,300 words into the story, and I hope to have it before 17,500 words and enter the 2 million Contest being hosted by WritingPrompts over at Reddit.
