Kill All Birds

I tend to have a “bird by bird” approach to projects, meaning that I force myself to do a little every day until I attain a critical mass where the sheer momentum drives me forward.

The problem I’m having with the book I’m working on is that I’ve never been able to reach a place where I’m excited about the work and motivated to finish it. I keep going, bird by bird by bird, but I am so fucking sick of birds.

I hate my book project, and it’s making me hate myself. This has been going on for almost two years now, and it’s depressing. The worst thing is that I’m at a point where, if I just sit down and put in a solid eight hours of work, I will have a not-entirely-awful draft. I feel bad because I’ve been plugging away at this for so long, but I think I need to give myself permission to half-ass the rest of job and just go ahead and send in a mediocre manuscript.

On Monday morning. I am going to send in whatever I have on Monday morning.

Have You Heard, About,,

Superstar Webcomic Artist: I love the script you sent me, and I can't wait to get started! I wonder if you've heard about the Zelda/Ganondorf ship? It seems like there are some elements of that in this comic, and I wanted to ask if would be okay to lean into it a bit.

Me: *takes off my glasses*

Me: *cries for ten minutes straight*

Me: *puts glasses back on*

Me: What a fascinating idea! Thank you for suggesting it. Yes, let's do that.
