Fictober: a mid-month progress report

[pearwaldorf]

To be honest, I'm kind of tired. In general, but also of "having" to produce something every day. It's not necessarily a matter of word count (a drabble and something else short are totally doable), but working within the constraints of what I have allowed myself, which I thought would be generous enough at the beginning of the month. I have three prompt lists for Drabbletober! And some days, it's like pulling teeth to find even one of them that seems workable. 

I suppose it also doesn't help that I'm still working on things outside of the daily projects, and I'm not able to devote as much time and attention to them because I've made the daily stuff my priority. 

At this point I feel like I'm doing them just so I can say I was able to get through a whole month of daily prompts, to prove I could. I feel like these sorts of challenges are best for people who have the drive to produce but not necessarily the discipline of daily/regular habit, or don't have a project they want to work towards. 

I don't know how useful this knowledge actually is, but I guess I have it for the future?

Fair enough. I like the challenge of manipulating the prompt until I get something useful.
