fire and rebirth

July to early September: Worked on the writing commission, which helped me afford a CPU upgrade.

September & October: Drafted the second book in the series I mentioned in the previous entry. Might make use of the resurrected NaNoWriMo to revise that mess. I won't be a municipal liaison again this time around, if there's still such a thing, and just be a content old fossil instead.

June: Dragged myself through this month, not just writing-wise. Wrote and edited a couple of short stories to keep the fire going.

July & August: Suddenly a writing commission? & Editor wants me to start developing a series. On it.

Spent all three months contentedly soaking inKPop Demon Hunterscontent. The Saja Boys are so unabashedly honest in their songs www

Not a progress report per se: I've been having sort of a writer burnout since the end tail of May. While I know what to do, the drive and motivation is just not there. I'm not even too keen on watching movies or series, despite them being good.
The good news is, I have new books (bought, borrowed, and legally free) to read.

Finished the story draft I'd worked on since April. Currently don't feel like tackling another novel-length project. Am on a prolonged break, maybe until the end of the month.

In other news, I've been posting ongoing fanfic again.

March & April:

Finished the first draft of a novel set in 1982. I rely a lot on my memories, while there are also details that I take liberty with.
Currently rewriting a draft from last year. Now that I know what to do with the plot, the writing flows more easily.

ETA: Achieved my

getyourowordsoutgoal, 75k words.

In February, I finished the first draft of the fake dating story. It's a MESS but at least it exists.
Finished a chapter of an ongoing fanfic ahahahaaaa
March will proceed leisurely unless I have to revise a novel or sth.

The other account is for noting down writing accomplishments, and this one is for tracking my progress.

January begins with me developing outlines, rather sluggishly, and an attempt to start a horror novel. Then I re-acquired the rights to my debut novel, so I worked on editing it. Mostly it's correcting the word uses, shaving off parts that don't directly relate to the plot, and updating the technologies and cultural references. That book was written during the Gen 2 Kpop era, btw. After that, I restarted the fake dating novel, and that's what I'm working on right now.

After four (!) years, I'm resurrecting this account to participate in

getyourwordsout. I wrote 205k words in 2024 so the pledge should be doable.
