The Weekly Writing Update #9
10.01.22
Ohmigod I’ve been so swamped with work I almost forgot to write this.
Ok so here's the biz: I did almost get to 3k words, but then I had a new idea for chapter three that threw all that sideways, so i've spent all morning deleting the now-irrelevant info and rewriting the new chapter plot. Tbh, this new one is so much better than 'he accidentally finds out who she is and she just decides~ to stick with him'. Now her decision to stay makes sense according to her character and all is good. ish. :)
However, I am now set back a few hundred words. I know the word count shouldn't matter but its bothering me so I'm going to spend the rest of the day before I have to go to work reworking this plot chart. yayyyyy.
⇨ Other than my mess of a plot chart, I got a really cool idea for a villain for book two! and I already figured out a way to make them signifigant in book 1!! God I'm gonna make this villain so sexy

The Weekly Writing Update #20

Blasting Lovers Rock and thinking of my bf <3
Also just had the worst day at work but I have a semi update: I didn’t get much writing done AGAIN this week, but I managed to write a couple hundred words in starting sentences. Which is a start. I’m just glad I have something to show for the last week, even if it’s lame.
This may be obvious to everyone else, but the Holiday season is kicking my ass at work right now. Which is why I haven’t been writing,,, pretty much at all. You can count on me picking it back up after the new year though. Thank you to everyone sticking around, even if you’re few and far between. :)
I will try and get out of this rut asap! Ive started this thing to try and help me write even while I’m busy as work, even if it’s just a couple sentences with a cool aesthetic. I want to post more progress for those of you who are watching my journey!
Lots of love, Alex

I’ve been so busy with work and binging Rick and Morty, however I still have an update because I’m that awesome.
I made MAJOR changes to the plot. Or idk if that’s the right wording,, I adjusted quite a few details that changes things quite a bit, so not small changes but not changes so massive that it makes this a completely different story
⇨ Magnus now has a set love interest now, along with a side romance that goes nowhere because right people wrong timing ykyk, so it’s set up for some pretty rad angst >:)
⇨ Zen is now Tomoe’s Problem, however he’s tied to both of them because he helps Magnus with [redacted] hehehe
⇨ Magnus’ mentor is no longer his grandmother, but instead just a caretaker who took him in. And instead of her dying right before the beginning of the story, she has a minute of screen time and then dies. Oops
Lots of other changes that I won’t mention for spoiler sake, but I’ve got it all in a journal and binder for safekeeping :)
Off topic for a second: but I feel like I’ve made big improvements this week. Not just with my writing but my life in general. I’ve been doing better at work, and just feel like I’m improving mentally. Thank you to all of you who have been following my journey.
This week has been good.
I'm a socially awkward creature, but I'd love to start interacting with more writers, so here's my offer:
Interact with this post if you'd be okay with me messaging you, and in return, I promise:
I am in no way, shape, or form a creep.
I can provide unlimited cat pictures.
I will hype you up and be your fan.
I'm friendly and non-judgemental.
DNI if:
You're a minor.
You're a creep.
You're a bigot of any kind.
