The Weekly Writing Update #17

11.26.22

I’ve been so busy with work and binging Rick and Morty, however I still have an update because I’m that awesome.

I made MAJOR changes to the plot. Or idk if that’s the right wording,, I adjusted quite a few details that changes things quite a bit, so not small changes but not changes so massive that it makes this a completely different story

⇨ Magnus now has a set love interest now, along with a side romance that goes nowhere because right people wrong timing ykyk, so it’s set up for some pretty rad angst >:)

⇨ Zen is now Tomoe’s Problem, however he’s tied to both of them because he helps Magnus with [redacted] hehehe

⇨ Magnus’ mentor is no longer his grandmother, but instead just a caretaker who took him in. And instead of her dying right before the beginning of the story, she has a minute of screen time and then dies. Oops

Lots of other changes that I won’t mention for spoiler sake, but I’ve got it all in a journal and binder for safekeeping :)

Off topic for a second: but I feel like I’ve made big improvements this week. Not just with my writing but my life in general. I’ve been doing better at work, and just feel like I’m improving mentally. Thank you to all of you who have been following my journey.

This week has been good.

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~

Following writers

My dash is a bit slow. I think only two people I follow ever post anymore. 

If you’re an adult (18+) and you write original fiction, maybe like or reblog this so I can follow?

I can’t promise I’ll follow automatically, but chances are higher if you(’re)

⭐ Write and read something other than YA

⭐ Actually post about writing, or post your actual writing, rather than mainly posting fandom and shitposts

⭐ Write literary and/or experimental fiction (this includes literary genre fiction too, e.g., literary/experimental scifi)

⭐ Not an anti-intellectual (”Classics Bad! Books for adults are all boring and about divorce! YA and fanfic are superior!” - not interested in this mentality)

⭐ Keep social justice and current events posts to a minimum unless it’s relevant to writing (to be clear, I am a queer leftist. But I want a writing-centric dash and I get this kind of thing elsewhere)

Side note, I’m not a new writeblr. I used to be @inkvials

"should autism exist in my fantasy story?" yes. "should psychosis exist in my fantasy story?" yes. "should personality disorders exist in my fantasy story?" yes. "should ADHD exist in my fantasy story? should intellectual disabilities exist in my fantasy story? should dissociative disorders exist in my fantasy story? should trauma disorders exist in my fantasy story? should anxiety disorders exist in my fantasy story? should mood disorders exist in my fantasy story? should--"

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

you don't have to include their real actual names and you don't have to have main characters with every single one of these things. But neurodivergent and mentally ill people should EXIST in fantasy stories and fantasy societies, because we exist in real life. We deserve to be acknowledged.

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~
