I think the reason I’m spiraling so bad and wanting to just delete my whole wip is because I have no one to talk ideas out with because all my writer friends just dropped off the face of the earth </3

The Weekly Writing Update #7
09.17.22
The whole past week, I dedicated to plotting out my wip, but it's still unfinished. I had to work, which took up a lot of time and I wasn’t able to get as much of it finished as I wanted to. I did get quite a few chapters planned out though, so its still coming along. I'm not sure exactly how long this plot chart is going to take, but I'm hoping to get it finished soon.
I've found that my focus issues aren't getting any better, so as I'm writing up this update, I'm currently procrastinating adding to the plot chart (damn).
I am working on it though. so
XOXO~
The Weekly Writing Update #1
08.06.22
Howdy! This week is the first official writing update for my wip! There isn't much, but I do have a couple things;
⇨ I have officially decided to call my wip The Prince, The Prodigy, & the Seeing Eye, at least until I think of a better title. I'll use that tag on all posts related to my wip
⇨ I fixed the beginning scene to fit better, and the words are flowing easier!
⇨ I do have one concern: one character who is going to be a crucial part of the first book and a main character, isn't going to be as central in the rest of the series. I'm worried this is bad or if I should fix it, but I know its something I can worry about later
That's all I have for this week, most of the past two days was me changing my main into this writerblr, and trying to fix that mess in chapter one.
XOXO~
Sometimes I open tumblr and it takes me a full 10 minutes to realize I’m scrolling on the for you page.
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~
The Weekly Writing Update #4
08.27.22
Not much to update on this week. It’s been slow
⇨ I made a few slight changes to the plot, the protagonist’s journey being a much more direct result of what the villain is doing and now making them much more connected plot-wise, and not just through backstory
⇨ still only a few hundred words in, but I know where I’m going so hopefully I make more progress within the next few weeks
⇨ As I’ve said previously, I had a handful of details and a character that I didn’t know what to do with and so it didn’t overload the plot, but I think with the change I’ve made, everything fits and it’s not too much :) yay!
Hopefully this STICKS and I don’t keep overthinking and changing the plot every week.
XOXO~
