Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Congratulations to Rio and Saget!
I'm trying something new this time around. In the past, I'd get hit with the urge to write, sit down and write until I was completely spent, and then have no clue where to go when I sat down the next day. The past two weeks I've been making myself sit down every night to write. I will write for at least an hour and then stop once I reach the next scene break.
On one of the writers' email loops I frequent, someone was complaining that she could write 20 pages in a day, but then she wouldn't write anything for the next week. One of the multipubbed members said that maybe she was a 20 page/week writer at this point in her life, and suggested that it'd strengthen her writing and probably make her feel better about it to spread out those 20 pages into 4 pages/day, 5 days/week. I thought that was wise.
And I've taken to always, always leaving notes for myself about what comes next. The first page of the day is always the slowest, but at least that way it's not as painful.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
At the moment I'm managing to write five nights a week (I'm usually busy Friday night and then either Saturday or Sunday so I don't have a chance to sit down and write those days) and putting out a little over 4,000 words, which I realize is a bit on the slow side. But at the moment it feels right, and more importantly, the hour a day is turning it into more of a habit rather than something I do when the mood strikes me. I can't even imagine churning out 20 pages in a day, at least not right now.

Jesse, link is a little wonky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That link doesn't work for me, Jesse.
