Struggling Writers’ Daily Den: rant, share, complain, ask, daily progress thing (Part 2)

I have a backup idea that I might be able to make work, but its a multiple POV story.

Now I want to write a story in the tradition of Gakkou Gurashi.

I am done with chapter six of Red Reign: Monster in White, and I finished at 2590 words. I am starting to think “Monster in Red” sounds better. because story wise it makes some sense. Meh, I deal with that later.

Red Reign is looking pretty good, and I am super excited but also tired as well.
I like how things are turning out, it could be better, but I am not complaining about it.

Still, I need a break because I am feeling exhausted physically and need to lie down and relax a bit.

My typing is starting to lag and get sloppy. I am beat.
Nothing else to report.

Ooh, I like that. The Mafia’s Draw. Gambling, and racing terms would probably be good for me to dive into too. I thought about “Out with a Blaze” or something, but I feel like I can come up with something better. Thanks for the ideas/suggestions! :raised_hands: :muscle:

Edited a chapter of Without Parole. It had a flashback from the female MC’s POV in the first draft, and it was changed to one from the male’s perspective as the chapter originally ended with him in present time. Now to figure out where to put her flashback. This is becoming messy. I rather put pieces though than be like Naruto with episodes upon episodes of “filler/flashbacks” that take the reader away from the present time in story. :thinking:

Lots of novels have headers where bits of poetry and other quotes go. Parts of that flashback could be headers for other chapters–Im used to reading stuff like this as an older reader, but I don’t know how well that would play out for a younger audience.

Have you ever thought of something absurd?

found some old software to test for audio book versions. Being having fun that today. If it becomes quick and easy, might dual release chapters in text and audio.

Okayy me again!
NaNoWriMo is closing up on me. Like this week. It starts this week.
And I’m excited. I may use NaNoWriMo or what I have learned during this process to plan out my novels for Wattpad and Inkitt from now on.

I have also made a playlist for The Vanishing and can’t wait to write it. I may have an idea about Morana and Raina’s story (The Two Queens) or perhaps give Ember a story. Who knows. A prequel of a Sequel may be next. Or maybe an entirely different story. Maybe a crime story, crime/thriller. Maybe I’ll venture into the cozy crime genre. Or maybe I will write a werewolf story next. The possibilities are endless! And I love it!

Well, I’m nowhere near where I wanted to be with my outlining for my NaNo project. And I finally have a date for when I’m supposed to be moving aka next weekend. It’s going to be a rough first week.

I am done with chapter 7 by finishing at 3209 words! Woot, woot!
I am so proud of myself.

I will start chapter 8 later today. I enjoyed every single thing about the last two chapters. I don’t care if they weren’t perfect.

They were so good and full of action. I loved it so, so much.
I definitely need to review a mecha anime or something when it comes time to edit.

Ooh, this is uber exciting to me! I want to start chapter 8, but I am tired and need a break. Otherwise, my typing will get slopping and slow if I continue.

Nothing else to report.

I can’t believe it.

My characters mistakenly fly over an enemy army morning gathering and get themselves caught.

When is this story going to end???

But don’t worry. I’ve planned Bethany to break her new friend out thanks to an enemy that isn’t actually an enemy. So, they’ll break out and get to the capital super late. The battle will commence with every creature coming together, and the Rat King will be there full force.

Would you still read a story set in 2009?

I would if it was something that interested me, but why is it set in 2009?

So my protagonist can be 22 and not 35?

I am done with chapter eight, and it feels great! Woot! Woot! I finished at 2056 words!
I shall do chapter nine much later, well actually tomorrow because I am tired right now.

This is amazing! I am so proud of myself for reaching a goal. I shall tackle my other story The Red Ghost, but with the way things are going with Red Reign, I am too eager moved towards The Red Ghost.

But I want too though.
Speaking honestly, I forgotten the true plot of The Red Ghost: Heretic Renna. That is something I need to figure out asap.

Nothing else to say or report other than “great job, Qualeshia”!
