Watching Characters Try To Fight The Narrative Like I'm A Roman Senator At The Coliseum

I think the reason I’m spiraling so bad and wanting to just delete my whole wip is because I have no one to talk ideas out with because all my writer friends just dropped off the face of the earth </3

The Weekly Writing Update: #11

10.15.22

No update this week because I’ve had no progress. :(

in the tags, spoil the ending of your WIP out of context

this is how angst writers look writing the most emotionally damaging shit you've seen in your life

The Weekly Writing Update #3

08.20.22

Making progress! I deleted the other opening scene I came up with and started a new one, but I'm a lot further along in this one and feel a lot better about it.

⇨ Still worried about how a few details are going to fit into the plot but I'm still working on it. I’m trying not to make the plot too complicated, so I’ve split it into what the villain is doing and what the protagonists are doing and how it’s connected

⇨ The part I’m struggling with the most is the beginning, so I just need to get past that and I think I’m good. Everything else is planned out and I’m not worried about that as much

⇨ I didn't make as much progress as I would have liked, but I have been pretty busy this week, with starting my new job! But I'm hoping this next week has more progress

That’s all :)

XOXO~

The Weekly Writing Update #1

08.06.22

Howdy! This week is the first official writing update for my wip! There isn't much, but I do have a couple things;

⇨ I have officially decided to call my wip The Prince, The Prodigy, & the Seeing Eye, at least until I think of a better title. I'll use that tag on all posts related to my wip

⇨ I fixed the beginning scene to fit better, and the words are flowing easier!

⇨ I do have one concern: one character who is going to be a crucial part of the first book and a main character, isn't going to be as central in the rest of the series. I'm worried this is bad or if I should fix it, but I know its something I can worry about later

That's all I have for this week, most of the past two days was me changing my main into this writerblr, and trying to fix that mess in chapter one.

XOXO~

BOOYAH told you guys I’d reach 2k by tonight lol :))

The Weekly Writing Update #8

09.24.22

Im halfway through plotting my wip! I'm 1.7k words in!! I haven’t added to it yet this morning, but I’ll be at 2k by tonight, so yay! My current goal in mind is 15 chapters, but it could end up being more or less depending on how I continue to plot. Right now, I'm about 1/3 of the way finished :)

This is coming along much quicker. Before, I kept my plot in my head or on various scribbled notes and ideas in docs and journals and loose sheets of paper. In a whole year and a half, I've gone through many ideas, many plots, always changing and adjusting and I could never stick to one idea and I never sat down to actually plan it chapter by chapter. But I'm so glad I finally did, and for future wips, I plan to plot it out in a doc as well.

I know this isn't an achievement to other writers, but to me its a huge step. I always thought I could just go along and write as the ideas come to me, but it seems that doesn't work for me anymore like it did when I was 11. So it's time to change tactics. I'm growing as a writer, and I want to document my progress, and I want to share this with other writers.

XOXO~

big fan of characters with abandonment + attachment issues so profound that they leave claw marks in everything they touch but would sooner gnaw off their own leg than admit they just want someone to stay for once. in a totally normal well adjusted and not at all projecting way of course.

The Weekly Writing Update #25

1.21.23

Apology post. From now on, I won’t be updating weekly on a schedule. I’ve thought about it and even though I made it my New Year’s resolution and I want to put in the effort, I still keep making no progress almost a whole month into the new year. And I promised to show progress and having to post updates where I continue to say I have nothing to show for myself is stressing me out and making my inability to write worse.

I will post updates, just not as frequently and not for awhile, until I have something at least. So until further notice, there will be no updates on my wip.
