This one goes out to all the writers!
One of the “joys” of writing is going back to that first draft for an edit, getting a great pace going, and suddenly stumbling upon an “innocent” little note you left yourself.
I mean, you’re busy writing and blazing through that first draft. An idea pops into your head, you’re stuck on a scene, or you can’t figure out how to get to the next one, so you drop a note you’ll hate yourself for and move on.
I dug out the first draft of The Year is Now (TYIN) and pulled a few from the story I’m editing now (SEN) just for laughs and facepalms. I’ve added some commentary for humor 😉

SKIP SKIP SKIP
ENDING
I didn’t want to write the scene when I was writing, and I don’t feel like writing it now. Thanks, Self.
[ skipping because I need to rewrite this chapter. Insert rest of the battle here! ]
From TYIN. I’m pretty sure I hated myself when I got to that gem. Writing battles requires a lot of research. Yeah. I am certain I was overjoyed at myself, ha!
Dryden and Misch bla bla waiting they enter.
From SEN. I have no idea. I haven’t reached that part yet, and I won’t be happy when I do. What even. How do I sentence?
people screamed and scattered like X.
[ the quote from the first emperor ].
From both. #Lazy #ZeroFsToGive
SKIP SCENE COME BACK AND ADD GLUE. GONNA HATE MYSELF FOR THIS 😉
From SEN. Yes, I hated myself, like that smiley face is going to make it better. IT’S OKAY SELF, I GAVE YOU A SMILEY FACE!
