![]() If it worked for Terry Pratchett and me, than it can work for you too!ĭo u ever read a friend’s fic and it’s like holy shit how do you consider me qualified to talk to you?Īlright I have been enabled so I’m gonna say somethings.įatalistic sarcasm is a thing, however, it usually hides deep feelings of insecurity, and whether you consciously recognize this or not, it validates them. Writing takes practice, so even if it’s only 100 words a day, it’s better than nothing. Whatever the outcome, t makes me feel good and accomplished. On other days, I struggle to get those 200 out but hey, at least I wrote 200 words and reached my goal. ![]() Some days I get into the flow and I write a whole lot more. And it works! I set my goal between 200-400 words a day and that’s perfectly doable. Then I stumbled upon this post and I thought: hey, let’s give this a try. So there were many days where I just didn’t even start writing, cause I wouldn’t reach my goal anyways and feel like a failure. Do the math quickly: trying to write 2000 words a day takes a looooong time that way. I can’t write consistently in one go, it’s always about 50 words and then I get distracted and just have to do something else for a while. This is the second time this post passes on my dash and it’s the best advice I ever got. But it’s much easier to edit two hundred words of bad writing than it is to edit no writing at all. Yes, sometimes, I do not produce a single thing worth keeping in those two hundred words. If I take a break at 150, I have a whole day to write 50 more words, and I’ve rarely written less than 200 words and not felt the need to keep writing because I need to tie up a loose end anyways. ![]() Terry fucking Pratchett, who not only published regularly up until his death, but published books that were consistently good.Īnd this has also been an immense help as a writer with ADHD, because I don’t feel bad when I take a break from writing - two hundred words works up quick, after all. Something that hasn’t been true of my original works since middle school.Īnd sometimes I think, “Well, two hundred is technically less than four hundred.” And I have to stop myself, because - I am writing half as much as Terry Pratchett. Now it’s something I say because I just have to finish this scene, just have to round out this conversation, can’t stop now, because I’m enjoying myself, I’m having an amazing time writing. And when I inevitably couldn’t cough up four pages in one sitting, I felt like garbage, and the pleasurable hobbies I had planned on felt like I was cheating myself when I just gave up. With that 800-word wall taken down, I’ve been writing more. “I won’t get on tumblr/watch TV/draw/read until I hit my word goal” used to be something I said as self-restraint. SUGGESTIONS OF SHOWS NOT INCLUDED HERE ARE WELCOME, BUT PLEASE USE CONTROL+F TO SEARCH FOR A TITLE FIRST AND MAKE SURE IT ISN’T ALREADY IN THE MAIN LIST OR ON ONE OF THE SEPARATE GENRE PAGES.I saw a post talking about how Terry Pratchett only wrote 400 words a day, how that goal helped him write literally dozens of books before he died. Disclaimer that I haven’t listened to most of these, and genre is a slippery thing at the best of times if you feel a show belongs in a different category (or if you know of any more that I should add!) please let me know. To avoid exceeding the per-page link limit, some genres are linked to separate pages.Įach show is linked not necessarily to the best place to listen, but to the best summary I could find of the show itself. But by and large, this is a list of audio drama podcasts, sorted by genre and with summaries. Some of the audio dramas in here are not podcasts. Some of the podcasts in here are not really audio dramas. ![]() This list has grown a bit funny over time. ![]()
