Because of the coronavirus, and in particular because of the self-isolation declared in the city of quarantine, there are no thoughts at all. You look at the monitor for strength and there are no thoughts.
Some novels have already forgotten the idea of what they wanted to write.
Sometimes there is no normal food. Why? Because it is impossible to depart further than 100 meters from the house. At the local grocery store, the goods are not very high quality. You can't buy good meat.
It infuriates a monotonous procedure, processing products, packets with an antiseptic. Then you need to wash vegetables and fruits in water with either soda or vinegar. 20 minutes each. Dry. Layout in containers and in the refrigerator. And the money ends stupidly.
At work, for two months they were sent on vacation without maintenance, without money. Well, and other little things.
So just doing food purchases, disinfection, cooking, the food itself. And then you read the local news, and there they always talk about this virus. First one thing, and the next day another.
There is a lot of fake information. So half a day goes by.
And here you need to write ... but there is no creative inspiration. But this is the case with the novelists, and real writers, they must be able to write, despite the mood.
The writer must write at least 2500 words per day.
Interestingly, before the coronavirus, I wrote 85,000 words a month, the second month when information about the coronavirus only began to appear - I wrote 38,300 words, the third month when I was quarantined (someone was talking to the patient at the entrance, and the whole apartment building because of this, they quarantined it, first for 14 days and then added it, it turned out 42 days in total) - I wrote only 7,770 words ...
For the first 10 days of the fourth month, when quarantine was removed but there is a self-isolation regime, I wrote 6850 words.
In the second 10 days, I wrote 4381 words.
I wanted to try to write in the third 10 days - 15,000 words, but in practice, this does not work. For the 6 remaining days, it seems to write does not work out so many words.
All the same, among amateurs, there is no such professional acumen as writers who write despite their mood. Is there a creative inspiration or not. They write to themselves and write.
Well, on the other hand, I write it as a hobby, I do not get money from this. And it's their job. Due to this, they live.
Everyone probably wants to write his book so that it is sold and brings him money. But in reality, of course, this is not so.
In view of the fact that you need to know how to write, and there are a lot of things, the correct composition, the ability to write fiction. Dialogs creation. Well, and other tricks of writing.
To become a professional writer, you need to study at the university for at least 4 to 6 years. Well, what do you want from ordinary people who have not learned to be writers?
It is necessary to self-educate, to be able to configure yourself to write, regardless of mood. To write and write. So far, the goal of 1,000,000 words, or at least 500,000 words per year, seems not very achievable. But you can try. Already written in 3 months and 20 days, almost 184,000 words. It remains for 8 months ... well, who knows? We will see?!
In the meantime, the novel "clan" revolves in my head. I wanted to write 250 chapters. And now I'm watching great novels, they are not working out very well. Rather, it is a story or a collection of short stories on one topic. So it is likely that the new novel "clan" will be chapters 100. It will be broken up at different times.
The main idea is to show how the clan developed, with whom it collaborated, what it came to, what it had to give up in order to reach the top. Then to face the choice. And then letting go as it should, to understand that this choice was made only for oneself. Of your soul. For the sake of whom this choice was made, they did not appreciate it, did not come to the defense, and in general, they forgot. And the new generation of the clan has become on the side of "darkness." Those who decided to stick to the "light" became an outcast. He was condemned by the clan society and got the eternal blacklist. Well, this is the price for the choice. It is always there.
To do as advised and not to burn in the fire, or to do as the mind says, to live well and richly, but on Doomsday, to burn in the fire.
Everyone has their own choice. Sometimes, having made a choice, people start to be tormented, to think that it was a mistake. But this is all from fear and cowardice.
The choice always comes at a price. Well, the result. Which does not appear immediately, but after 50 years.
Well, for now, such thoughts...
