not that anyone cares, an update: i tried to see to what extent i could reproduce yesterday's workflow, having nothing on the schedule for the day, and got about 2000 words in just over 4 hours of solid work, but really started to burn out after that. which is good, definitely not bad for an average day of writing. but just way harder to concentrate. and feeling my brain overworked and impatient now, really hard to hone in on the little details.

i just want that adderall focus and stamina again, but really don't want to make it a habit.

the other thing is i was having this weird synesthesia effect writing yesterday where i could kind of feel a momentum in the words i was writing, like a sixth sense by which to measure my writing by, that didn't seem to correspond to the content or form of the words in any way coherently. it was really like this sixth-sense-o-meter that told me what "direction" a given sentence was going. and there's been a weird little bit of that lingering today. kind of cool. but sort of distracting too.

moral of the story is study drugs fucking WORK for creative writing.
