Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reynard" data-source="post: 8923591" data-attributes="member: 467">Some thoughts after Month 1.[ATTACH=full]274363[/ATTACH]I thought I would mitigate writer's block by randomly describing a room on some random level. I did not do that, and ended up falling behind a couple days because I couldn't quite make the "next" room happen. I will try and do that going forward if I run into trouble.I like that I have decided to theme each level. I enjoyed the haunted, eldritch manor, but am happy to be moving onto foreboding cultish cellars and catacombs.I write too much. I did not even finish everything (there are some tables and stuff I have not filled out yet) and I am still at 9500 words for the month. Which is a great amount of work and I love the daily writing bit, but it is an effort.I am free writing on theme and guided by the map, doing a discovery first draft. this means I HATE IT. But I am forcing myself not to go back and revise until some point later.I really feel free after dropping all pretense of a system. I can do whatever I want, and explicitly NOT stocking it with D&Disms is pushing me to make up cool random crap.In general, I was a little wobbly a couple days ago but now I am excited to keep going and hopefully make the whole year.</blockquote>
