doing a typo sweep on #Dogwood2 like "this shit is so sentences"

I'm toeing the line of what does and does not get a moderation label but I'm erring on the side of a lack of caution today. #WIPSnips #Dogwood2

#Wipsnips #Dogwood2

wesley attempts the ultimate bluff. #WIPSnips #Dogwood2

the "one rule" was that Owen had to be nice to Wesley after sex. #WIPsnips #Dogwood2

Wesley's too passive to be tempted even by his (alleged) greatest desire. This guy will NOT steer the plot. #AwesomeCharacters #Dogwood2

must water the window seedlings and then re-type 5 trajillion letters into the #Dogwood2 WIP

done for the day in the #dogwood2 re-type, hit 98k.

I just said that stuff about moving my self-imposed deadline out to friday to mess with you guys, i'll be done before april💪

#Dogwood2 is at 90.6k ! Moving my self-imposed deadline from 3/31 to 4/3 (THIS FRIDAY)😳

I know I've been quiet! very little brain space leftover b/t crashing the retype and working through my TBR backup of long books. (finished GOBLIN EMPEROR, started EMMA yesterday (both overdue re-reads))

if this re-type of #Dogwood2 has shown me anything it's that i loooooove a dream sequence. good luck, readers

COFFEE'S GOING SORRY I'VE BEEN QUIET I'VE BEEN FULLY ABSORBED BY THIS 600 PAGE HIGH FANTASY BUT IT'S FINALLY TIME TO WORK ON THE WIP

will i finish re-typing #Dogwood2 before April?? chances are slim but not zero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

82.8k in the #Dogwood2 re-type and the asset (Kenzie) has been delivered to a safe location (dragged herself through the wilderness on hands and knees and found somewhere to sleep for the night)

Owen pov tomorrow!

only small progress in the re-type today but hit a milestone (80k) in #Dogwood2 🥳 a little makes a lot

took yesterday off cuz my hands felt funny (bad) but it's time to lock horns with the WIP once more.

Kenzie has found herself in troll country. #Dogwood2

re-typed over 2k so #Dogwood2 is up to 79.2k. slowing down from my 5k+/daily streak because my hands hurt.😅

got to a good stopping point and tomorrow Kenzie's adventure...worsens.

got wesley like "damn, bitch." #Dogwood2 #WIPSnips

#Dogwood2 up to 77k🥳

browser history from the last re-type sesh:
"draft horse hoof scale human hand"
"bucket pail"
"tarmac"
"dish drainer"

re-typed 6.2k (IT WAS ALL ONE CHAPTER!!), bringing #Dogwood2 to 74.7k

i will need to weed out MANY names and replace them with pronouns on the next pass😭. it's names all the way down.

me yesterday: is 5k too long for a sex scene?
me today: is....is 6k....

“So this is where you’ve been sneaking off to,” Wesley growled, already back on his feet. Owen accepted the hand up and brushed himself off. “Guess I should have covered my tracks…” “Covered your tracks!” Wesley scoffed. “You never even made it out of my sight.” “You’re a light sleeper.” “Very light. Now who’s this?” Wesley rounded on Cerne taking the old god’s double-penetrating stare in perfect stride. “Some fucking wulver…” “Much more than just ‘some fucking wulver,’ boy—as well, you’re a trespasser and a thief,” the old god said with a flash of yellow teeth.

Can't say when exactly I wrote the very first draft of this scene (in the original YA version of what would later become Dogwood) but it was probably between 2017-19. #Dogwood2

uhhhhh....it's a sprint not a marathon?😅 #WIPsnips #Dogwood2

#Dogwood2 #WIPSnips
"Owen! owen, you're not gonna believe it--!!"
"Let me guess. they paved paradise and put in a parking lot."

it's the chapter that never ends in the #dogwood2 re-type today!

pausing to cook dinner so my family doesn't perish and then might try to transcribe more later

#WIPsnips #Dogwood2

i think wesley is getting his body back today in the #Dogwood2 re-type. (pretty sure i made a similar announcement during the re-write🤣😅)

“Eat this.” Owen peeked through his fingers to see Wesley holding out the weird orange apple-thing. “What is it?” “Just eat it.” Owen took the fruit in his unhurt hand, only to immediately drop it with a yelp of disgust. “Why’s it feel like that?” “It’s a peach. A fresh one. Not that shit you eat out of a can.”

we are so here.

#Dogwood2

one thing i love about edits is you get to see what the heck your book is all about. #Dogwood2 leans heavily into themes of marriage, which i did not exactly plan or even foresee.

patio table and chair on the lawn with my laptop, notebook, coffee. weird morning sun glare.

#Dogwood2 re-type broke 43k during kids outdoor time (office space pictured), more at noon! Would like to hit an even 45 today😋

well i've got "tenant." #WIPSnips #Dogwood2

got #Dogwood2 re-type up to 37.9k but the kids emptied an entire tube of diaper rash cream all over upstairs hallway so pausing for now.

here's the day's browser history, bc nothing will make you doubt the meaning of basic words you've known and used correctly for decades like being a writer.
