Indeed, any progress is progress. I’m also a pretty big diarist, and like you say, it’s a good way to keep one in the writing mindset. Actually, that reminds me how most of the book Cloud Atlas is written as letters and diary entries. It makes me wonder if the book takes that form, because it’s relatively frictionless writing - at least compared to illustrating live scenes as a narrator. Anyway, just musing lol. Who knows!
Too bad about your office. Having a dedicated work space is a huge help, but when it comes to renovations we all must abide its fickle schedule. Hopefully your basement setup is alright. At times like that I sometimes try to think how I might be nostalgic for the current times in the future. It’s a coping strategy for sure, but sometimes it works.
The dedicated works space definetly makes a big difference in my productivity. My basement set up is kind of funny, reminds me of communal living from my early 20s lol. Right now I have 3 beds, 2 monitors, 1 chair, and a shelf with my clothes.
I like that musing on cloud atlas too. Though I find it’s harder for me to embody a voice different from my own when writing in first person. I end up defaulting to myself rather than sticking with what works best for the story. It could be a fun writing exercise for this month though :) maybe a spooky series of journal entries.
