Writing Routine

Doesn't look like Watchmen at all either, you're 2/3 full of shit

Forgot to mention, one of the reasons for the notebook was to better my handwriting but so far that hasn't been working out too well.

Apparently Veeky Forums doesn't want me to post the picture, but you wouldn't have understood any of it anyways

Shit, you're right.
Is she Belgian at least?

>get idea for story
>outline the themes and general plot in several text files
>get excited about the prospect of creating my own story
>never write it

No, she's French. The blonde hair threw me. My bad.

Mostly I go out to the library or a cafe (inb4hipsterfaggot) around noon and handwrite till about 5-6pm. This is only after I have a clear, detailed outline and/or know exactly what direction I want to go in with a book. On average I get about 1.5 pages or roughly 750 words written each day I do this, which I know isn't a lot, but is the most I can write in one sitting without it becoming incoherent gibberish. I'll sometimes start up again a second time around 9pm or so and maybe get to 2.5 pages for the day (roughly 1250 words on average in my handwriting) by 2am.

Thank you for that.

Spending enough time not reading to know what flickr looks like. KYS

>spending enough time not reading to know what flickr is. you know what to do buddy

>Do you stick to a writing routine?
No, what I am a drone? I do have writing on my mind most of the time, write down notes everywhere, sketch shit while at lectures or when home but I only do the actual writing when I feel like it. (Or when I remember that my future is fucked if I don't get published already, love the extra pressure tbqh) When I get to it, I work in 12h bursts that end from 1 to 8 000 words.

>Do you write when the sun's up or when the sky is pitch black?
How about both? Although my most productive time is probably between 11pm and 9am.

Handwriting has many benefits indeed, makes you a lot closer to the work too, wish I could bring myself to do it beyond notes.

>outline the themes and general plot in several text files
You probably spend too much time on that.

Many writer followed a routine (e.g. Mann) or a complex writing process with multiple files as this fellow user (e.g. Kafka, which used sheets and cardboards, but we can call them "files").

I act as sociable as I can, but I'm a shy person, that means I'm not cool in cafes or at the library.
I'll try to explain why this doesn't fit me:
A girl approaches: "What are you doing?", she smiles, - What am I supposed to say? I'm writing a book, I'm studying, I'm trying not hang myself because of your question, what's the right answer - "Are you ok?" "Yes, I am, I'm... overthinking".

Does Veeky Forums speak acronyms? Stop those KYS, quit being a meme, and start write your routine. I made this thread with the purpouse of teach myself how to stay productive and write as much as I can. Thank to your posts I learned what to do not.

I can count the number of times I've been approached about it on one hand. For the most part no one cares.

Thanks a lot OP my boss just fired me you prick

Seriously. Is there any way to collapse or hide threads on the Mimi app?

Hem didn't give a shit about those pussies. While they spent their days whining about their sorry existences my boy was busy going to pound town.

>immerse in relevant literature/research for project

>slip through one of the invisible cracks in the ossified semantic formulations of the problem and down into the raw conceptual substratum where the actual pre-linguistic discontinuities and real essences of the topic are
>try to continue hermeneutically inducting into the mindset of the great thinkers who have made breakthroughs on the issue now that you've accidentally stumbled into the realm that they were inhabiting

This is a blue board fagget, better delete and remake before the mods do it for you.

I'm trying to have a routine. Participating Nanowrimo has helped me figure out how to devote my time to writing.

I do want a better on screen keyboard application. My fingers are long like pianist's fingers so the thin kindle fire keyboard doesn't work well for me.

For the nude girl or because you were browsing Veeky Forums at work.

Anyway I'm closing it and making a new thread following his advice
