My total is currently up to 11hrs and 12,139 words
For today, specifically: 7 hours/ 7,110 words
Started feeling pretty fatigued around hour 6 but I’m happy with the work I was able to put in today!
Hate it when I’m writing a first draft and have to focus on Getting Words On The Page and not Making The Words Pretty And Perfect, I’m actually in hell
-someone who enjoys writing very much
Goal was 8hrs, I managed 4 (note to self: start earlier in the day and do longer bursts, lol)
Also, writing for that long is hella hard and with all the little breaks for stretching/eating/water it's also pretty long but I managed to keep a pretty even pace of 1-2k words per hour which is fairly solid for me
Total WC for the day: 5,029
2,948 words towards my original WIP called Sealed (info below) and 2,081 for a bkdk post-war fanfic WIP
Sealed WIP info:
Title: Sealed Genre: thriller/mystery, queer romance, coming-of-age
One line summary: In a town where ghosts abound and mediums are detested, four teenagers are thrust into the heart of a deadly mystery that forces them to decide who they are, who they want to be, and how much they’re willing to risk for it.
Slightly sillier one-line summary: Toss together a shunned medium, a secret-keeping prodigy, a spitfire Catcher-in-training, and her boyfriend who really doesn’t wanna be involved, then sprinkle in a string of mysterious attacks and watch as shit hits the fan. *in this WIP “Catcher” is the term for ghost hunter
Characters: Nishtha- a young medium living by herself who is only ever acknowledged by her neighbor
Veronica: a new transfer student from a very long and very talented line of Catchers who keeps her cards close to her chest
Cherry: A Catcher-in-training who’s struggling to become stronger even while her boyfriend pulls away and her leader keeps ditching her to Catch solo
Carter: A conformist that’s afraid of change and whose family is forced to take in the medium cousin who almost killed him as a child
currently gearing up for the 24hr Novel Challenge but I'm unsure which WIP to focus on. any thoughts?
Option 1: An original story I'd have to start from scratch (queer romance/horror)
-focuses on religious guilt and societal pressure
Option 2: An in-progress fanfiction I have big plans for (but am missing the notebook I wrote some of said plans in, rip) (queer romance/ coming-of-age/ historical drama)
-focuses on isolation, mental health, and grief
Option 3: An in-progress fanfiction with a less clear vision but the need for a pretty substantial length (queer fantasy/romance)
-focuses on tyranny, morality, and sibling bonds
