Well I'm hooked. It's hard work, but getting easier every day. I bust out 4 pages every day on my typewriter, and I love it. I'm thinking clearer. I have more patience. I don't drink. I don't smoke. Now that it's nice out, I just golf and write every day I'm not working. When i do work, i work and write. I have maybe an hour a day to watch tv or scroll on my phone. I wish i had more time to read, but I'm sure that'll come as I write quicker. My life has improved so much in the last few weeks. It's pretty clear to me that I'm going to be writing almost every day for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, the world I created is too complex for me to be able to write a story in as well as I'd like. But I'm going to finish this story, make as many drafts as it takes me to be satisfied for now, and then table it until i become skilled enough to tell the stories correctly.

After this draft, I'll make a world that's easier to write about and work on stories set there. I'm very excited to see where my stories take me. Maybe one day I'll even be published (but that's more of a bonus than an expectation).

And to all of the people that said I'd run out of steam eventually, suck it.

I've started writing every day, and it's been a complete marvel with how it's been changing my thought process. I realized that I had gotten into the habit of never finishing my thoughts. I've been focusing on that and it's like I'm a completely different person. I would love to hear how yall deal with your adhd brains.

The struggle is already real. I'm already exhausted. I'll update with posts until I either break under the strain or finish my draft. Let's do this!!?

Rough draft was taking forever and i just decided to go for it. What licked it all off was getting my hands on a 1948 Royal de Lux typewriter with an ok platen. The typing was amazing and I wrote 4 pages in a mania. Decided I could do that every day, and here we are.

After struggling with writing 300 words on a good day for a year, i finally hit spurt where i got a real flow with some serious writing in. It may all be terrible and clunky, but I'm just happy to be getting words on paper finally. i
