#3 Writing update

Hey, it's FiFi!

As you can see from the extremely self explanatory title of this post, I am going to start updating on how I am going with my writing on this mess of a blog. On these posts I will add things I know so far about what I'm doing.

The first thing I've been doing recently writing wise is reading a lot of books in a similar genre to what I'm writing. My story is based a little on the blue whale challenge. I have to admit, I haven't really sorted out my characters yet but I know it's going to be set in London. As well as prepping the story itself, I usually have to spend time properly preparing myself to write. For me, this means planning out days and word goals so I actually get it done. I understand that for some people it's easier to work out how many days you have before splitting it up into equal chunks but for me school can get in the way and sometimes I'm doing things in the evenings so I know I won't be able to cover the same amount of words everyday. I cannot function if I'm not organised so I enjoy colour coding my calendar with certain amounts. It actually looks quite similar to the one below which I found here.

Another thing I will be doing this month is stocking up on tea. I'm definitely a tea drinker thanks to my best friend who has a massive obsession with Earl Grey. Seriously, though. It's so good. If anyone wants to buddy up and write with me just let me know in the comments. I have a lot of reminders and alarms on my phone and when I decide to commit to writing something longer, this is generally where I go.

Thanks for reading,
