THEY ADDED ABYSS TO SPOTIFY !! 😭💕🥳😫

create! create! even if it’s been a while. even if you don’t know what to write or draw or sing. connect with what once brought you joy and you will remember how. create in a new way, knit or dance or crochet. try spoken word or painting. poetry or pottery. the freedom in creating… it’s liberating

OR

Or I combine those two ideas into:

MC is arranged to be married to a prince from a neighboring kingdom, with the secret mission to steal and harness their source of magic. One night, she transforms into a bird monster, and is discovered by the Prince's loyal knight when transforming back. He keeps her secret and they grow close, but she continues with her mission behind his back. In this, she grows conflicted between her home and the people who have put their trust in her

Hey so.. I don't know if anyone still follows me. Or is interested in my writing. I completely abandoned my last major project that I used to post about--a while ago--and I've recently gotten back into writing. I'm starting a new WIP but I'm stuck between two plots, if anyone cares to share their opinions :)

A.) Knight finds a girl with amnesia who turns into a bird monster, and he just became a fugitive. So he takes her and they go into hiding, fighting shadow monsters and working to get her memory back.

B.) Noblewoman is set up to marry a prince from a neighboring kingdom, but is actually sent to steal the source of magic from their neighbors. Instead, she falls for the prince's knight. ...instead of the prince.

Unless these are both stupid/need to be workshopped, my DMs and Asks are open to anyone with constructive criticism!! Or any other writers wanting to talk (I need more writer friends) 😭

The Weekly Writing Update #13

10.29.22

Again, not much of an update this week. My (minuscule) progress was mostly ideas this week. And I hate that when I actually had free time this past week, when I sat down to write there were no words. Writers block is such a BITCH

But anyway, I’m glad to have had some new ideas.

⇨ I created the villain for the end of the series, the one at the end of everything. Even got a sick ass name, I just need to visualize their appearance using picrew. Because I can’t draw.

⇨ Got a cool idea for 1-2 (possibly 3??) chapters in the middle. Which is good, because right now the middle of the book is just a vague idea. I need more plot/chapters ideas for the middle but for now I’ll start here!

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~

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

The Weekly Writing Update #21

12.24.22

Last day before Christmas! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!!

This is hopefully the last week with no progress. Going into the new year, I will have more time and (please god) more inspiration.

Speaking on coming up on the new year, I’m coming up on my wip’s two year anniversary! Kinda sad that I don’t have a full chapter written for it yet, but it has changed so drastically from the original idea,,, it’s insane to see how far I’ve come and how far I still have to go.

~Much love,

Alex <3

how am i losing to something within the limits of my own control

The Weekly Writing Update #2

08.13.22

Week two!!

I’m a few hundred words in. I’m a bit slow, but I’m making progress. Right now I’m just finding the right wording and putting the pieces I have in the right places so that this mess somewhat resembles a story.

⇨ I want to create a more consistent schedule. Maybe writing 200 words a day. It’s not a whole lot so I don’t feel overwhelmed, but not so little that a weeks worth is still major progress. This could lead to a chapter each week (if I can stick to this plan)

⇨ I have a character that I don’t know what to do with. The plot has gone through so many changes, I don’t know how to fit him in without overloading the plot, but I also don’t want to just get rid of his character

That’s it for this week! It’s not much, I’m hoping to have more progress next week.

XOXO~
