#WordCountUpdate #WriteSky #Stabby

So, writing a book that’s going to ruin me emotionally, and had a “I have to write this one scene right now!” So I wrote it out of order, which I never do, and now have to go back to where I left off. 😭 damn it.

#WriteSky

Day 5: ended at 12,000 words in the document as I was editing when the time clicked over.

#WIP #WordCountUpdate #DirgeOfTheBetrayed

End of day February 24, I had 11,290 words AND finished my word goal for February! Does that mean I'm not going to write for the rest of the month? Of course not!

The last few hundred words of the day were heartstring tuggers though. 🥹❤️‍🩹

Alright, added another 1,140 words today, bringing us to 6,680.

Brain was slow, sluggish, and more art focused today. Plus my art program was being obstinate, so I didn't get to write until about 10:45 p.m. and promptly got distracted looking for a line I wrote for this scene. 🙃

#Wordcountupdate

Have reached 5,540 words and Chapter 2!

Yes, this book does have a prologue from the POV of a "Villain" of the Born Angel Universe Saga as a whole. It helps to bridge the gap between that will be a year between book releases, and jog the memory.
