The Weekly Writing Update #22
12.31.22
Last update of 2022! With work slowing down, I hope to make better progress starting this upcoming year. That is my new years resolution. I want to push myself to make more solid progress, to have more to show for myself.
I tried several times to sit down this week and write but my writers block gets worse the more I'm not writing. And thanks to writers block in the first place, I'm not writing. :(
End of the year though. For everyone struggling with writers block, lets all hope the new year brings change, lots of inspiration and motivation, and clears away the blockage! I wish you all luck in your writing endeavors this new year.
BOOYAH told you guys I’d reach 2k by tonight lol :))
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 #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: #11
10.15.22
No update this week because I’ve had no progress. :(
The Weekly Writing Update #12
10.22.22
I don’t have much of an update again this week except that I got some idea for a chapter one. However I had work yesterday and had no time to write it. I ended up going back to my messy google doc of old drafts/versions of my wip, going all the way back to the earliest ideas and it generated some new ideas for me, which is good!
⇨ I also moved some things around, Alden being introduced in later chapters instead of right away. I think it’ll fit better.
⇨ I also got a solid idea of my MCs personality, which I had been putting off. I had a vague idea of him but now I feel like he has a real personality so that’s great :)
I feel accomplished, almost. I would feel more accomplished if this week I had more progress than just ideas but yk.
