[sticky entry] Sticky: Day 1.1

This is my (Sunshowersy's) personal writing and reading journal. I have 3 aims:
  1. Document my writing journey.
  2. Write down my thoughts about the fiction books I'm reading.
  3. Talk about Touhou Project, fanfiction, fandoms, books.
I will strive to write every day, since I strive to write fiction every day. English is not my first language but I am determined to make it my language of expression. I do not expect readers, but they are welcome.

Two out of four! Two down, two to go! Home and very much dead to the world. I just want to sleep but keep get woken up at 4 am. Lots of strange dreams. Did not write properly.

29.05.2025 (1): A Confidence Hit!

I read someone else's fic and was blown away by their writing. Because of how my self is constituted, I had an immediate feeling of inferiority, as well as doubt about my writing abilities. My fic also lost subs, ouch!Read more... )

This morning I finished a record-breaking shift of 20 hours. I did also manage to write, and pretty well I thought.

Finally finished my chapter! On the eve of my very busy days no less. I'm feeling this full-body tingle of satisfaction, even though I've only completed the draft.

Splitting headache today, joy of joys. Really hope this flu goes away soon since I've been having bad brain-fog and an impatience for all things. I did not manage to write much today.

16.05.2025 (1): 3 Days of Work

Worked practically nonstop since Wednesday and now I have a strange ringing in my ears. I did manage to write today but was so exhausted I blurred on the process. I guess that's the impression for today: strange laptop screen fading out of focus.

12.05.2025 (1): Continuing to be Alright

Read a little Tonio Kroger today, quite intently, and was surprised at how much it related with Mothering Sunday. Lots of parallels and inversions with upbringing etc: Tonio being of two worlds where Jane had a 'blank sheet', both works commenting on artists, both works (a bit more slyly in Sunday) talking about what the artist is as a person - in Sunday, she is an imaginative liar with truth at the end, and does plunge her life into art, whereas I think Tonio thinks some sort of neuroticism and wholesale self-sacrifice is essential to art (but then Ivanovna - is that a common name? - intercedes!) I think in the Tonio Kroger estimation, I'd resemble the little lieutenant who earnestly inflicts his compositions on others.

On writing: I wrote a disjointed original fiction fragment. Maybe the whole book will be such fragments. I'm getting a bit better at making them knit together.

Also unsurprisingly today I spent most of my holiday sleeping. I read Fate/Redline (god knows why!) at midnight and couldn't sleep until 1 am. I also watched Laputa: Castle in the Sky today and pretty much wept through the cave sequence, I'm not sure why. I also watched more of the very bloody Bakumatsu documentary.

Tomorrow I'll endeavor to do much of the same as today!
