00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
This is MJ Munoz bringing you another 10 minute writing session. This is from March 3rd, 2024.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
A Grow Bug Tale Chapter 15. This is Session 6.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
And it reads like this.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Cinderstripe bounded over a hill and stalked toward the three.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
The Critterbot Tiger was quiet as he drew near.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
He passed...no, he paused a paw swipe away from Hopper.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Nice fur, he chuckled. What brings you here, stranger?

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Where's here? Hopper asked.

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
You didn't tell him, Widget? Cinderstripe balked.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
As a matter of fact, I did.

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Hopper doesn't seem to know much, Widget answered.

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
And that's all I was able to write. It's an embarrassingly low word count.

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I was experiencing extreme external pressures, which hindered and hampered my writing.

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
And I'm less than thrilled about it, but, you know, what do you do?

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
You have to keep pressing on, as I've said before, and I'll say again.

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,000
And, yeah, it's an important thing to keep pushing and to keep forcing yourself.

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Especially, I was talking to my dad the other day, and he was asking me what I'm going to do with my life, sort of.

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
And I told him, yeah, I want to write professionally.

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And in order to do that, I feel like I just have to force myself to write sometimes.

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And I think that's okay. I don't believe in the muse, really.

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
I don't believe in waiting for inspiration to strike.

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
I believe in hard work and determination and grit.

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
And, yeah, right now I'm living my life 10 minutes at a time as far as writing is concerned.

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And it's less than ideal, but I have to do it.

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
I'm miserable when I don't. I miss two days in a row.

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
I think two days in a row, and I was not happy.

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
And I'm adamant that I will not miss again.

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
And if I do sometime soon, then I'll be bummed about it.

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
But I'll just have to pick myself up and keep going.

30
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
So, anyway, that's it for now.

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
I hope you enjoyed that.

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Go to MJMunoz.com to leave any questions, comments, or other feedback you might have.

33
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
There you can find all of my analysis, art, and fiction.

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
I cover books, tokusatsu, comic books, anime, and more.

35
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Look around. You're sure to find something else that you'll enjoy as well.

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000
This has been a Story Over Everything production.
