Couldn't write anything with my damned and awful sound system. It just refused to work properly. I had to buy a new sound box and now I'm hearing "Control" by Halsey. Thank goodness yodo yodo I'd actually go crazy without proper music

My family insists I’m Kuzco, and my husband is Prince Caspian. The worst part? I can’t even argue. They’re absolutely right.

It's already soooo much better!
I'm still working on the end, though...
Each arc is more fleshed out and flows better. I feel the first kiss is =waay better too. Among other things.
I'm working now on connecting the ideas, foreshadow things better, make things feel earned, sorting through the rest of my notes (and my cellphone notes too, I had forgotten them).
Many things are lacking though. I need more ideas... My structure as it is wouldn't make a good book, at all. I admit I must have only 1/3 of a good book right now.
My head feels full and I'm tired of trying to make things make sense, but they ARE making sense, finally. It's like, I want X and Y to happen, but these events contradict themselves, so it's like trying to solve a really fun (but head bashing) puzzle.
Also, my playlist is really helping. I got many ideas just by listening to it.
Anyway, I couldn't have found a better hobby. <3
HOW I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WRITING!
I've been spending what time I could spare fleshing out chapters 57+. I ended up having to add a 700-words-long chapter as chapter 58 due to some emotional milestones that didn't feel earned enough. And I ended up with the best lines in the whole book? Somehow? I had to write it like, 3 times. First it was all about a robbery, then I just didn't want to write anything on robbery anymore, then I started writing a whole different chapter. A bit difficult, but I managed.
Now I'm having a blast with chapter 59. It was mostly written already (I said that I finished the first draft in another update), but I had so much fun adding these little silly details. I still need to change two flirty lines that aren't strong enough... but that's what the 5th revision is, right? RIGHT???!!!!
I'm still working on chapter 59, and I think I can manage 40 too today. Only, 40 is soooo complex (on a planning perspective) I don't know how long it will take.
Well, sometimes I surprise myself and it takes like, 5 hours.
Other times, 5 days.
Just normal F me.

I've been writing since I was 6 years old. As in, actually trying to finish a book.
I never could.
Until one day, years ago, I finished one.
It was all about old Brazilian tales. Awesome stuff, right?
Well, I managed to make the worst job possible ever uper duper no.
It taught me ~so much~
And it made me see that your first book, most of the time, really will be trash.
If yours wasn't, more power to you. But mine certainly was
Maybe one day I'll go over it again and rewrite every little damn thing.
But the overall lesson?
I suck at writing in Portuguese.
My other language, Spanish, well... a complete disaster (don't even ask).
And English? Ok, I can have bad wording and a ton of mistakes and such, but I do find it way more fun to write. I think it does have something to do with the fact that I've been using more English than any other language since 2011, I think. As in, I didn't read a single fiction book (for leisure) in another language since 2010.
(I admit I struggle to read good fiction books in Portuguese now.)
What does that make me? A language nomad? A freak accident? Both of those things?
Mine is dark, and its eyes are rainbow.
