i had a whole 3 day break!

honestly don’t know how they’re finding me. they’re obviously targetting lgbt+ stories (to advertise an lgbt+ app) but i didn’t tag Gallows Humour with the relevant gay tags so :person_shrugging:

could be picking up on the pronouns in the blurb ig

Lmao I opened one of my old drafts this evening and chopped down a thousand words into just seventy-two. Is that progress?

It depends on how bad you think that thing was.

It was too many words but I didn’t know what I was saying. I haven’t checked the new draft yet today. I’m sure I’ll hate it too

Wattpad comments can be even more entertaining than Youtube comments sometimes

Yahoo! And that’s part 2 of Chapter 32 finished :wisp_celebrate: its been so long since I’ve gotten this much motivation to write, enough to be updating only a week after the last!

ugh, i don’t like that this book has 40 chapters and is barely halfway finished. i know i was waffling around in some places and i’ll fix that in editing but it still feels too long.

i don’t want to make this a series >:[

Lmao people are actually taking me seriously as a writer? :laughing: I’ve been pretending I’m some profound and pained writer for months at the local watering holes and now I’ve been commissioned to write a poem for an exhibition?! Fake it till you make it I guess.

Lol I’ll try. It’s opening in less than a month and I won’t even be around for the exhibit and there’s no time :sob:

aww

just streamlined the remaining outline i had for this arc down to 3 chapters, so i feel better about the length of the book.

there’s still a whole final arc to outline and write, but i’ll deal with that when I get to the end of these three chapters.

I needed a break from editing Lunar Heart, Shadow Bound, so I got back into my magic realism story and came up with this gem :stuck_out_tongue:

For context, Iptaj people are called Ipts and they are visited by some rowdy Arcans.

Ipts looked on in fear and disgust as these “ilwisi”, these dim-witted, immoral uncivilized barbarians, set foot upon historic land where great, smart kings once lived in shiny splendor and grace.
