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~

Does anyone know if there are any books out there that start like a typical ‘I can’t decide who I love!’ love triangle but ends with all three of them dating each other??

The Weekly Writing Update #9

10.01.22

Ohmigod I’ve been so swamped with work I almost forgot to write this.

Ok so here's the biz: I did almost get to 3k words, but then I had a new idea for chapter three that threw all that sideways, so i've spent all morning deleting the now-irrelevant info and rewriting the new chapter plot. Tbh, this new one is so much better than 'he accidentally finds out who she is and she just decides~ to stick with him'. Now her decision to stay makes sense according to her character and all is good. ish. :)

However, I am now set back a few hundred words. I know the word count shouldn't matter but its bothering me so I'm going to spend the rest of the day before I have to go to work reworking this plot chart. yayyyyy.

⇨ Other than my mess of a plot chart, I got a really cool idea for a villain for book two! and I already figured out a way to make them signifigant in book 1!! God I'm gonna make this villain so sexy

happiness

The Weekly Writing Update #10

10.08.22

I have no idea what to even write for this update.

I chose to step back from the plot chart yesterday and try writing chapter one, because that's the one that needs the most work right now. The other chapters I had finished were laid out in detail, but chapter one was only a few ideas because I always struggle with the beginning. I don't know how to start my book.

Anyway, trying to work on chapter one made me spiral and I started rethinking the entire plot and it got so bad I just gave up and went to bed. Since I woke up, the plot doesn't feel so bad anymore and I've stopped spiraling, it's just chapter one still thats bothering me the most.

So if anyone has any advice I would love to hear it. Because I'm kinda at the end of my rope here.

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) 😭
