Me: Okay, this book will have a lot of chapters, so each one can't be longer than 3k if we want ~100k total!

Me, 5 chapters in, all of which are 4-6k words:

~20k words into my latest WIP, and unfortunately I have fallen head-over-heels in love with these characters. I should be focusing on getting ready for finals, but... I can't think of anything else 💀🪦

Trying to write books while coming up with new ideas constantly is insane... the latest ones: arranged marriage polyamory, fallen god x king, fae romance with a cult, supernatural romance horror, gay polyamorous cowboys...

Update:
Hello! I know I have been inactive for ages, but this account is not abandoned. I had to be in the hospital for a while, and then life just sort of kept mauling me, but I do plan to come back to this all soon! 💚🤞

Update: I cracked 💀 sorry to WIP#1, but I am putting it aside for now and working on this new idea, because it was gnawing at my brain so bad I could barely think about anything else 😅

#WIPSnips of the day! Writing Veavyr is always so fun. I especially adore his signature broken english, lol 💚

An image with a snippet of text from a book WIP. The background is a picture of of some orange-colored berries. The text says: ‘No. He would have bitten you by now, if you did,’ he said flatly, rewarded with the sylviannin’s ears pinning back for a moment. Cien reached back out and carefully maneuvered Veavyr’s hand to sit on Dog’s nose instead. The ssuronan stared, looking delighted, and hesitantly pet the pony’s muzzle. ‘Just like that,’ Cien said with a nod, his own hand petting Dog’s neck. ‘He likes you. He would have backed up, if he didn’t.’ Veavyr’s ears quivered - out and spread again, seemingly exceedingly happy. (The word "nose" is highlighted in a sort of orange-brown tone.)

#WIPSnips of the day! When living in a nation with no horses, meeting a pony is a pretty big deal. I can't blame Veavyr, honestly. It helps that he's adorable.

There is absolutely nothing as frustrating as being a solid way through a WIP and then getting a new idea that is so compelling you can't stop thinking about it no matter how hard you try...help 💀🪦

An image with a snippet of text from a book WIP. The background is a picture of coiling, interlocked driftwood-looking branches on a dark background. The text says: They would need to head home soon, that much was clear. Veavyr had been offering his own gia to his weaker patrol-friends, so they could last longer and heal further, but he felt he was running dry too. He had no doubt in his mind that his father would scold him for pushing so far, but it was his duty - and not one he was keen to shun. He continued to sing and hum for multiple more hours, dancing - soaked by the rain - among the branches and feeling the song around him gradually soften into something broadly less miserable. It was fulfilling to hear the tune change, even as his voice grew hoarse and he tasted blood against the back of his tongue. He pressed his hands and lips to the most pained of the trees, resting his forehead against their bark and leaves and whispering to them. Smears of blood were left from his fingertips, and he hoped the lingering gia would do some good. (The word "broadly" is highlighted in a sort of red-brown tone.)

#WIPSnips of the day! Writing Veavyr's pov is always most fun at times like this, when I get to really play with the concept of him hearing the trees "sing." The descriptions are very enjoyable to write 💚

Contrary to yesterday's post, today I...didn't write 😅 instead, I went all the way back through my outline and changed like half of it. So...productive day anyway, I guess?

#WIPSnips of the day! I do love me a good dragon (or two), even if it does make things more difficult in terms of writing when the characters in-world wouldn't know to call them that...

Chapter 5 first draft for the latest WIP done! I'm trying to get as much finished as possible before uni starts up again, because I know I'm immediately going to get SWAMPED...💀😅

#WIPSnips of the day! The sweetest baby boy ever + clear distress + maybe sort of (very) hot guardian to fanboy over = Veavyr contemplating running off on an ill-advised adventure. Understandable.

Chapter 4 of the latest WIP done! It feels so good to get back into the groove. I have a medical procedure tomorrow that will take most of the day, but I'll definitely start up again the next day💚🫡

#WIPSnips of the day! I rarely write "evil" people, because I find it difficult at best and ill-suited to my themes and messages at worst, but I do love me a homicidally senile old king trope...😌💚

Today, I wrote chapter 3 of my newest WIP. I always forget how much I love writing when I take a break, and then I start up again and it is the best feeling in the world 💚

#WIPSnips of the day! Not a single instance of "career", so I hope "job" will suffice. One of the most challenging and fun parts of this book is chapters in Cien's POV - writing children is hard, but rewarding!

#WritingPrompt fill from my first book, which I'm busy editing! Cien is the sort of titular MC of the trilogy, though there are many other POV characters that are equally important 😌💚
