got on computer, looked at document, was like “fuck this shit” and got off
wrote like 150 words that consist of bloating the existing useless conversation or scene even more
wrote SO MANY WORDS but it was because you were so desperate to escape the Bad Part
wrote SO MANY WORDS but it was because you were so desperate to get closer to the Good Part
got on your document, ran into research issue, spent like an hour on Wikipedia, ah shit
the somewhat satisfying “fixing everything I hated about the scene I wrote the day before” session
decent amount of progress that took like 3x longer than it should have because you were repeatedly distracted
In The Zone and completely absorbed, just BLAZING through a few thousand words, probably close to the ending, probably listening to playlist
Not actually a writing session, just listening to playlist
the session where you write like a paragraph, suddenly realize the unfixability of your current plot predicament, and cry
that weird session where you don’t have much time and you’re super tired and you write like a page but you reread it the next morning and holy shit these words came from the fingers of god why is it so good
that session that is purely just navigating the boring shit of getting from one scene to the next and it sucks but you leave off on the cusp of something interesting and it feels good
the satisfyingly exhausting session where you write the Good Part and you’re confident it came out pretty well and you’re full of thoughts and stuff about where things are going next but you need to let them rest
get on computer, write exactly one sentence, get off computer. Now you can say you wrote today

So I know we're all hyped about Luke (and rightfully so) but I cannot express the amount of *badassery* when seeing four (4) incredibly capable women absolutely tear their way through a cruise with little to no effort. The way they asked for help, offered their help, and backed each other up was phenomenal, I was grinning ear to ear the entire time. They kicked ass, I can't tell you how empowering it was to see them obliterating the entire crew like it was a Tuesday afternoon. The supremacy,,,, I bow to them, step on me.
Had a professor tell me "suffering is the wellspring of creativity" and my therapist was wrong to tell me to create art that reflected my happiness. We're on much better terms now, but never let someone tell you that you should suffer to create. Create in happiness, you deserve it.
Video Transcription from user @/lelegenevieve on TikTok: “If you’ve been supporting the Black Lives Matter movement or are looking for ways to support, please stop scrolling and signal boost this video. I’ve been coding—pretty tirelessly—everyday for my website pb-resources.com. It’s an education tool and resource I’ve been using to compile information to fight police brutality and white supremacy. There are calls to action, educational tools, and different places to donate. Today I added this section that allows you to input your information and send automated emails; and everything is filled out for you. It was also really important that for me to adds way to support the Black trans community. And in a few days, the website will be generating ad revenue and 100% of the proceeds will be donated; so all you have to do is visit the site to support BLM. Lastly, I’ve been asking you guys to follow me on Instagram (@/alexisdenisew) so I can hit 10k and get the swipe up update and I’m almost there. So if you haven’t already, go follow.”
If anyone with experience with audio transcription formatting would like to repost this with a better transcript, please do, my experience is limited.
As of today, June 16th, 2020, Alexis is at 11K followers on Instagram and has the swipe up feature, but please continue to share this website!
Adhd culture is closing app #1 to find something on app #2 then dinking around until you forget about what you were looking for then going back to app#1 to try and trigger your memory as to why the hell you left in the first place
I have literally no idea what I'm doing, promise ace - they/them/he
