The Weekly Writing Update #3

Reblog this if you're a writeblr and you wouldnt mind:

Random asks about your wips

Being tagged in tag games by people you don't know yet

Strangers complimenting your work

Fellow writeblrs striking up conversations

Interaction with new writeblrs in general

I see so many folks afraid to jump in to the community, so hopefully this post will lay out like a welcome mat for new folks to come say hi :)

The Weekly Writing Update #16

11.19.22

Not much of an update other than the fact that I did end up going back on that idea for Alden and Tomoe. Ha ha.

Had a few ideas but everytime I sat down to write—which I didn’t do much because I’ve been so busy—nothing came to me. Truthfully, it’s been like this for a few weeks and it’s pissing me off. So this past week I wrote a total of one sentence.

ANYWAY that’s it

Apology post. From now on, I won’t be updating weekly on a schedule. I’ve thought about it and even though I made it my New Year’s resolution and I want to put in the effort, I still keep making no progress almost a whole month into the new year. And I promised to show progress and having to post updates where I continue to say I have nothing to show for myself is stressing me out and making my inability to write worse.

I will post updates, just not as frequently and not for awhile, until I have something at least. So until further notice, there will be no updates on my wip.

No update this week.

All of a sudden, death was fully present in the room and it couldn’t be ignored any longer.

my failing as a writerblr is my inability to consistently make progress and actually write instead of daydreaming scenes and changing the plot every 6 months

The Weekly Writing Update #8

09.24.22

Im halfway through plotting my wip! I'm 1.7k words in!! I haven’t added to it yet this morning, but I’ll be at 2k by tonight, so yay! My current goal in mind is 15 chapters, but it could end up being more or less depending on how I continue to plot. Right now, I'm about 1/3 of the way finished :)

This is coming along much quicker. Before, I kept my plot in my head or on various scribbled notes and ideas in docs and journals and loose sheets of paper. In a whole year and a half, I've gone through many ideas, many plots, always changing and adjusting and I could never stick to one idea and I never sat down to actually plan it chapter by chapter. But I'm so glad I finally did, and for future wips, I plan to plot it out in a doc as well.

I know this isn't an achievement to other writers, but to me its a huge step. I always thought I could just go along and write as the ideas come to me, but it seems that doesn't work for me anymore like it did when I was 11. So it's time to change tactics. I'm growing as a writer, and I want to document my progress, and I want to share this with other writers.

XOXO~

The Weekly Writing Update #23

1.7.23

First update of the new year! And I actually have a bit of progress!

I’m in the process on deciding on a huge but slight change in the plot/character subplot, still deciding. But other than that, I actually did write a few hundred words of the first chapter! Which is a very good start. I need someone to harass me into keeping this one though, so I don’t chicken out and change this later. PLEASE (I’ll probably just get my boyfriendddd~~ to do it)

It’s slow progress this week but it’s progress, which is more than I can say for the past few weeks.

LOVE YOU ALL,

- Alex
