I got lost writing. Time is a flat circle and I am somewhere in the middle of Chapter 7, Charleston took me somewhere and I am only now surfacing. Smoky and Sparky witnessed everything and are sworn to silence, actual spoilers tomorrow.

#CozyParanormal #WritersLife #roughdraftchallenge

This mornings Chapter 5 planning meeting with my support team and feels the story is getting too spooky and would like a rewrite. I explained that it is a Southern Gothic paranormal novella set in a haunted speakeasy. He was not paying attention.

Day one of the rough draft challenge.One large coffee with sugar, cream, no apologies. The sun is out. The birds are doing their thing. The cursor is blinking at me like it has opinions.

We're diving in anyway.

“It’s talking to me,” Walter whispered.

*Shhhh,* the dolphin whispered in his mind. *Don’t let them know.*

“It’s talking to me and telling me to tell you it’s not talking to me."

Walter could see the boundless body of the great snake. It seemed as though he was trapped in a vast underwater web with cords as thick as tree trunks.

He saw the barbed head—twice the size of the boat he sat in—burst from the ocean. Its mouth opened as it breached the surface, revealing to Walter the morbid smell of rotting fish and dozens of scythe-like teeth.

Lithrail spoke. “If she cuts you again, that is a kindness. Should she break a bone, that too is kindness. A cut or a broken bone here is a lessoned learned. One that will keep your life from being cut short elsewhere if you learn it well.”

"You're not working with Dassin, are you?"
"No," Walter said.
"The last time you were here, he didn't turn you into, like, a sleeper agent?"
"No."
"... You're not lying, are you?"
"I'm not lying."

Tonight I'm just day dreaming

Started writing this morning and haven't been this excited to write in what feels like a long time

#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters #RoughDraftChallenge

Story 1/4
Nic is an employee relations analyst and the most optimist guy who has ever loved Christmas
His assistant, Clara, is a grinch with severe resting bitch face...except when she thinks know one is looking...and shes looking at Nic...

woke up inspired

1200 words written and now I need breakfast and a shower.

#RoughDraftChallenge #FirstDraftFall

Hey #FirstDraftFall #RoughDraftChallenge #PlotTober #WriteSky peeps

Are you rewarding yourself for hitting various word count goals? What are some rewards you're going for?

Looking for non-food rewards to give myself this season

Day 2 of the 30 day #roughdraftchallenge and I'm about to force myself to get in at least 500 words before I go to bed. Then I'll spend an hour harassing my cat, because if she didn't want to be hugged she wouldn't be so small and huggable.

Day 1: 543/10k most of it was typing up stuff I had written previously, so it felt a bit like cheating. Today should be new words. #RoughDraftChallenge

Day 22 3k/5k migraines suck. Post-migraine brain fog sucks. Am deeply annoyed at the story and how much I need to cut and rearrange. Resurrected a much more light hearted idea that I'll tinker with instead. Next month is for reading. #RoughDraftChallenge

Day 14: have officially dropped my goal to 5k. The state of the world is not making it easy to write... anything. #RoughDraftChallenge

So I didn't make a post yesterday, but I got 1911, and another 219 today to finish chapter 12 of Unexpected Trials, which is now up on AO3! archiveofourown.org/works/584043...

Not too bad after a six day break from writing!
