I can’t wait any longer!
I am going to start chapter 12 now!
I want to explore Khollothage (Jorildyn’s home country) since she will be returning there when she left years ago to become a Knight.
Wasn’t expecting to show Khollothage so soon.
LOL!
Clearing things off my phone because of another upcoming phone change (getting back on a Samsung, which means I should like it more than what I have now), I was pulling off my “false starts”. BOY, that’s a lot of ideas over a year, that I forgot I had.
It depends on how you do it. Chimera is modernly used for 2 beings fused together in the womb as one, for example.

I need a bit of an emotional breather before I start chapter thirteen in Red Reign.
I went through a wild emotional ride in chapters eleven and twelve, mostly twelve.
I like the fact I didn’t plan this and went with the flow.
This is great!
Hmm…can’t decide if I want to go back to Jorildyn and her family in chapter thirteen or start showing who the other characters are and what their about.
I really want to explore Jorildyn a bit more and her family, but I also don’t want to forget the others because they are important too.
Maybe I can make chapter thirteen longer in focused on Jorildyn, her family dynamics, and some other characters who are new too.
I still have chapter fourteen and fifteen and a bit of sixteen to focus on the others in Jorildyn’s group and the rest of the story.
So, I really want to explore Jorildyn a bit better.
Wish me luck, because I might need tissues.
Decided to rewrite the latest chapter of Saint Love that I left on the back burner for Wonderland and I think I have a better opener for Chapter 10 than what I previously wrote. Im proud of this one (so far):
I often think the man called Travis Fletcher is gone. His body walks among the living despite the ice in his blood. And in his path, as his skin gets torn by metal and flesh and his mouth runs foul, he lays waste to a life he pretends to live. Beloved brother and friend; that man is dead.
He was no saint.

I am torn between breaking in chapter thirteen or starting chapter fourteen for part three of Red Reign.
I mean I wanted to make it longer, but it ended in weird cliffhanger that I felt made sense to move onto the next chapter.
I was going to save chapter fourteen for something else to bring up.
Sigh, what to do?!
Finally have a better name for my shadow beast race–Ilvagi.
I decided to make the story start after it’s been a few weeks of Pinti being the clan leader with her father’s guidance. She’s still dealing with some disrespect from older clan members. She’s trying hard to figure herself out.
Also going to show a close sister bond.
Feeling inspired 
Going back to an old project to finish it 
Wish me luck!

I figured, since Pinti’s clan own goats, they might have a bunch of phrases to do with goats. So, instead of “make her life a living hell”, how about something different? Since they don’t believe in or have the concept of hell, what is THE worse place then?
She knew he would try hard to make her life a pit of goat dung.
Sounds pretty awful.

Chapter thirteen was interesting, but there’s room for improvement I suppose.
I’ll do chapter fourteen either later or tomorrow.
Hi everyone! I haven’t been very active lately because I… haven’t been writing. But lately I’ve started doing something where I write for at least 10 minutes a day. Every day. Doesn’t matter how many words I get, or their quality, but I have to try - and they have to be story words, not plotting or character sheets.
This doesn’t mean I have a high daily word count (some days I just stop writing after 10 minutes, haha), or even that I’m making a lot of progress on my projects. But I’m making more progress than all the days when I would do nothing. So I’m happy to report this :]

Great stuff.
I kinda quit writing at the moment. I haven’t written more than 1K words since first week of Jan. I have no desire too.

Proud of you!
It’s great you found a way to motivate yourself back into writing. It can feel daunting to write again after leaving it behind for days, weeks, months, years even, but sometimes it can feel rewarding to know you still have a knack for it.
If you ever miss your 10 minutes of writing for whatever reason, don’t let it get you down. Easier said than done, but know you can always come back stronger. Making writing a priority for yourself first and foremost will help you alleviate any pressure you feel. Take the time to craft the stories of your dreams.

Do you feel you’ll ever get back into the mood to write? Do you feel bad for not writing anything since?

Feel bad? Hmmm… I feel too empty to write, and I don’t want to write stories ppl are not interested to read anymore. It gets sad when I finish a novel, and it’s just some piece of waste on a server cache. I end up deleting my works off the site (where I can). I only have them at one site now for storage and portfolio control reasons.
It’s frustrating, coz I do want to write, but I just can’t. I’m trying my best to stay in the mojo with doing YT audiochapters. As YT is all I have left. There’s nowhere else I feel has an audience willing to support my works. And the web novel scene is very cut-throat and drying up.
I feel my writing days are done. Too many years of investing in places and projects that ended up disappointments, rejections and meh. It drains the passion and soul out of the craft.
Sorry for the info dump. Thanks for asking the questions.

Don’t feel bad about info dumping, it’s the reason I asked these questions
Despite not feeling the way you do when I lose the will to write, I can totally understand where you’re coming from. You put your all into a craft that feels invisible and that can no doubt feel demotivating and maybe even a little dehumanising because so much of your craft comes from you, from within.
Where I see it, I feel like the next logical step to regain your passion in writing is to prioritize yourself. Everybody says it, but write for yourself. The whole reason you got into writing could not have been for other people. A part of you, however small or big, wanted to write because you liked it, because you wanted to read stories you couldn’t find elsewhere, because if not for a wide audience, you can fall back on them for your own enjoyment, regardless if you find them Oscar-worthy or not.
But, you know, I don’t want to ever force anyone to back into a hobby they lost or feel lost in. But I do encourage to give it another go for yourself, for just that party of 1, and see how it goes. Maybe you reconnect with writing or maybe you don’t.
