“I kept always two books in my pocket: one to read, one to write in.” — Robert Louis Stevenson
40 whole chapters are done and I am finally allowing my self to imagine this story as a finished book. I estimate there will be 7-10 more chapters, but how incredible that the ending to this years-long effort is closer than ever?

I kind of want to reread something for comfort and possibly sit in my feelings for a bit, so currently I’m thinking about either House on the Cerulean Sea or Red White and Royal Blue.

This exchange sent me (I really forgot for a moment)
Also her simping over a character:
A collection of reactions my SIL has sent me while reading the first draft of my book:
Fairy tales sometimes arm heroines with brooms instead of swords. In German stories, a girl may ride one, sweep with one, or trick spirits using one. Domestic tools become magical weapons in disguise. #MythologyMonday
I don’t have headcannons for who would play the characters in my book if it were made into a film but I do have headcannons for who would be on the soundtrack:
Breabach, of course
Phoebe Bridgers
MUNA (esp. acoustic versions omg)
Julie Fowlis
Ethel Cain
Rose Betts

Failing in the sisyphean task of not losing my goddamn mind today
113,000 words, 379 pages, and 30 chapters thus far. This is my longest creative writing project to date, and we are moving things along!
We hit the 100k word milestone babyyyy
After today’s writing session (95k words!) I feel emotionally drained but in a good way, like I managed to purge a backup of words from my head.
