#manifesting so I can motivate myself to finish this book: when BTRAS is eventually adapted into a movie I want Kristen Stewart to play Nora and Mirren Mack to play Aoife

My horoscope has been eating the past few days—in response to today’s message: im trying!

THATS RIGHT I FINISHED WRITING THE BOOK IN ITS ENTIRETY. 500+ PAGES. 150,000+ WORDS. 5+ YEARS.

Hey guess what I finished it. I finished the book.

If I’m writing a book about selfies does looking at seal memes count as research?

Truly at the intersection of my interests

5 chapters left, 145,000 words across 500 pages total.

It’s ambitious, but if I write a chapter and a half every day from now until the end of Spring Break on the 22nd, I just might be able to finish this book. #writingcommunity #draftinprlgress

“I kept always two books in my pocket: one to read, one to write in.” — Robert Louis Stevenson

40 whole chapters are done and I am finally allowing my self to imagine this story as a finished book. I estimate there will be 7-10 more chapters, but how incredible that the ending to this years-long effort is closer than ever?

According to my (probably misapplied) math, this next draft is 3/4 of the way done. The first half is written and the second half generally has a mixture of thorough outlines and written sections that need to be edited or reorganized. #writingcommunity #workinprogress

*waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat* that was Patrick Stump??

Ten toes down, Dan Smith Will Teach You Guitar is an NYC cryptid

I kind of want to reread something for comfort and possibly sit in my feelings for a bit, so currently I’m thinking about either House on the Cerulean Sea or Red White and Royal Blue.

I finished reading Firekeeper’s Daughter, and…what do I read now? Do I reach for something silly and light? Or do I pick a book that’s also layered, introspective, and complex? Just…how do I go on?

In Chinese folklore, the Moon Festival is tied to the equinox. Families gather to eat mooncakes, honoring Chang’e, the moon goddess, who still gazes down in her silver solitude. #FairyTaleTuesday

Immediate first thought was Killing Eve so YES

#TheVictorianBookoftheDead All-crape mourning dress worn by Empress Maria Feodorovna, made by the House of Worth, late 19th c. Even the white collar and cuffs (which etiquette permitted after 6 months to "relieve" harsh black) are made of crape.

Finding out that there’s no love triangle:

This exchange sent me (I really forgot for a moment)

Also her simping over a character:

A collection of reactions my SIL has sent me while reading the first draft of my book:

Fairy tales sometimes arm heroines with brooms instead of swords. In German stories, a girl may ride one, sweep with one, or trick spirits using one. Domestic tools become magical weapons in disguise. #MythologyMonday

I don’t have headcannons for who would play the characters in my book if it were made into a film but I do have headcannons for who would be on the soundtrack:
Breabach, of course
Phoebe Bridgers
MUNA (esp. acoustic versions omg)
Julie Fowlis
Ethel Cain
Rose Betts
dodie

I WROTE THAT BOOK.

Prius? They hardly know us

Yep I changed the word count (it’s 112,000 words now yall) and I’m one-and-a-half pages from finishing “book one” #workinprogress #historicalfiction #lgbtqromance
