The Weekly Writing Update #2

08.13.22

Week two!!

I’m a few hundred words in. I’m a bit slow, but I’m making progress. Right now I’m just finding the right wording and putting the pieces I have in the right places so that this mess somewhat resembles a story.

⇨ I want to create a more consistent schedule. Maybe writing 200 words a day. It’s not a whole lot so I don’t feel overwhelmed, but not so little that a weeks worth is still major progress. This could lead to a chapter each week (if I can stick to this plan)

⇨ I have a character that I don’t know what to do with. The plot has gone through so many changes, I don’t know how to fit him in without overloading the plot, but I also don’t want to just get rid of his character

That’s it for this week! It’s not much, I’m hoping to have more progress next week.

XOXO~

"should autism exist in my fantasy story?" yes. "should psychosis exist in my fantasy story?" yes. "should personality disorders exist in my fantasy story?" yes. "should ADHD exist in my fantasy story? should intellectual disabilities exist in my fantasy story? should dissociative disorders exist in my fantasy story? should trauma disorders exist in my fantasy story? should anxiety disorders exist in my fantasy story? should mood disorders exist in my fantasy story? should--"

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

you don't have to include their real actual names and you don't have to have main characters with every single one of these things. But neurodivergent and mentally ill people should EXIST in fantasy stories and fantasy societies, because we exist in real life. We deserve to be acknowledged.

The Weekly Writing Update #7

09.17.22

The whole past week, I dedicated to plotting out my wip, but it's still unfinished. I had to work, which took up a lot of time and I wasn’t able to get as much of it finished as I wanted to. I did get quite a few chapters planned out though, so its still coming along. I'm not sure exactly how long this plot chart is going to take, but I'm hoping to get it finished soon.

I've found that my focus issues aren't getting any better, so as I'm writing up this update, I'm currently procrastinating adding to the plot chart (damn).

I am working on it though. so

XOXO~

The Weekly Writing Update #15

11.12.22

Okay so I had major writers block this week, :( I kept sitting down to write but nothing came to me. but I worked on the plot a little bit so hopefully I write more SOMETIME when I’m not working or sleeping.

⇨ Alden is now introduced a little bit later, and how he’s introduced is also changed as well as his relationship to Tomoe. I think this can make their relationship a bit more interesting, but I also loved their old dynamic so don’t be surprised if next week I go back on this. But to be fair, I can still use their old dynamic and adapt it to this change… hmmm

⇨ Working on my villains and their motives. God I’m going to make them the sexiest bitches ever

I think that’s all. I’m really a lousy writer and always focus on the ‘planning’ and ‘ideas’ rather than actually writing, but I want to document my progress nonetheless.

:)

The Weekly Writing Update #9

10.01.22

Ohmigod I’ve been so swamped with work I almost forgot to write this.

Ok so here's the biz: I did almost get to 3k words, but then I had a new idea for chapter three that threw all that sideways, so i've spent all morning deleting the now-irrelevant info and rewriting the new chapter plot. Tbh, this new one is so much better than 'he accidentally finds out who she is and she just decides~ to stick with him'. Now her decision to stay makes sense according to her character and all is good. ish. :)

However, I am now set back a few hundred words. I know the word count shouldn't matter but its bothering me so I'm going to spend the rest of the day before I have to go to work reworking this plot chart. yayyyyy.

⇨ Other than my mess of a plot chart, I got a really cool idea for a villain for book two! and I already figured out a way to make them signifigant in book 1!! God I'm gonna make this villain so sexy

THEY ADDED ABYSS TO SPOTIFY !! 😭💕🥳😫

I'm a socially awkward creature, but I'd love to start interacting with more writers, so here's my offer:

Interact with this post if you'd be okay with me messaging you, and in return, I promise:

I am in no way, shape, or form a creep.

I can provide unlimited cat pictures.

I will hype you up and be your fan.

I'm friendly and non-judgemental.

DNI if:

You're a minor.

You're a creep.

You're a bigot of any kind.

god bless
