writing every day in march // day three
today definitely felt like the first day of spring!
i find it really hard to accept that first drafts suck, and that it’s okay to start drafting to explore ideas without having 100% of the plot outlined yet
spending this afternoon/evening doing a first draft for one WIP, and just taking notes and brainstorming for another. i’m definitely gaining a better understanding of them both and why i’m writing them, which is great :)

Writing Log: January 2024
My streak of shit months continues: I spent two-thirds of Jan sick. I didn't write on a lot of days, predictably, but when I did write, I was pretty inspired. Let's see what February brings 🦑
taking the flesh is the only virtue [JJK, nanaita and goyuu, Yuuji goes into premature rut after the vs Mahito arc, and Nanami ends up “helping” before Gojou shows up to escalate matters]: 11,068
i could keep your bed warm, otherwise i'm useless [JJK, sukuita and goyuu, Sukuna in Megumi's body rapes Yuuji to break Megumi's spirit, and Gojou rescues him but isn't very sane afterward]: 21,702
(this is also part of the story) how the story changes [JJK, goyuu, just as the PR ensnares Gojou, canon!Yuuji switches places with his older self from an alternate dimension where he's Gojou's teacher]: 7,647
No. of writing days: 18
Total: 40,417
The total word count for JJK is now 696,803, and the plot bunny count is 90. I'm not even trying to wrangle them anymore. The numbered nested folders remain, always.
The posted word count is 33,203.

29th February - 509 words. Worked On: ~ a normal AU thought. ~ the nameless fic. Favourite Line: This will do.
“We didn’t want to do this,” male number one said again. “Any of it.”
I'm tired. Words took ages to get going today. I'll probably do the wrap up post tomorrow/when I get home from work.

heart hollow writing updates from this week:
seriously drafted chapter 10. I've been stuck on it, but I think I've finally got the structure of it down. thank god bc this chapters been killing me for months.
redid the master arc list (now labelled 03/22/2024) to accommodate for three books. nice and even pacing for all my big events. it feels right.
I'm considering adding a 13th chapter to book one. something to tie it off with a pretty bow; add some excitement for the remainder of the series without leaving it off on a total cliffhanger.
broke down the thematic north stars and underlying narratives for each book. this will help me to fill in the gaps later.
jotted down some ideas for possible book names. I think book one will be called "Heart Hollow." just that. nothing more to indicate there's a beginning or an end.
wrote a drabble for chapter 10. I remember now just how much I love writing romance.
that's about it for this week. nothing added to the actual document....... I am planning to work on chapter 10 this upcoming week, much more free time! yippee!!

Writing Log
August 3, 2023
WIP: Project Rosary
Phase: Active Writing
Percentage: ~ 50%
Hello and welcome back to a new writing log.
I am slowly coming near the halfway mark in my Project Rosary Part 1. Even though life is stressful right now (exam season started in Germany two weeks ago), I am fairly consistent in writing every morning before studying.
Creating stories in these times is crucial for me. I immediately feel stressed, when I cannot write (especially if people tell me to not write during the exam phase!). It is like my little escape from everyday work.
But to be honest with you, I am currently a bit unmotivated. Not only because stuff currently happens within my family, but also because everything seems to be quite exhausting. So, what’s been new these days, is that I am trying to get anything down. A new Tumblr post, stuff for my project, new stuff… All of that.
Some of you have already seen that I came up with a new kinda fantasy story, that has no particular meaning, whatsoever.
It doesn’t have a name, beside the codename for Tumblr, so I can tag it: Project Unnamed. It is probably the shittiest story I have ever written. Not only because it is mainly pure Romantasy, which I normally don’t write, but also the fact, that I am writing some elven romance thing while complaining about how many elven or fae romance is out there? It’s kinda ironic.
To give you a little insight in the quick story (including some fancy banners I made for this):
Tumblr media
It is about a somehow royal girl (I haven’t decided on that just yet), who lives in a world where magic is banned and seen as a wicked thing. One day, she gets in danger in the nearby woods, where a mysterious man saves her. Fascinated by his ethereal presence, she decides to find him again (which obviously works), where she finds out that he is able to control magic. He seems to come and go like a spirit and so she calls him the white spirit, also because he doesn’t tell her anything about him, besides the facts, that are obvious to her. She gets him to teach her about magic and soon enough, she finds out, that she can use the forbidden force too. They kinda have a secret relationship going on (with probably many red flags - I don’t know if he is a good or a bad guy). The drama comes from the secret relationship and when people find out about the elf in the forest.
Tumblr media
I already know that this is going to be bad. I have no intention on publishing it. Maybe one day on Wattpad or as snippets here on Tumblr, but this is probably the most cliché Romantasy story you can come across. Even though I kinda like the characters…
But this is never going to any publisher in this world. It’s to bad for that.
If you are lucky enough to grasp an update on this story in form of a writing log, you are probably blessed. Project Unnamed is not even considered an active WIP.
But back to the original project, of which I am very proud of.
Project Rosary is still right before the half-time of the book, but I only have to finish the current scene and I am done. I like the pace in which things are falling together. Also, because I have the time to come up with solutions to plot holes in the storyline.
Now, as I am slowly coming to the end of one book of the series, I ask myself more, if I should wait until all seven books are done and then publish the first one. If people read the current book first, they will be (a little bit) spoilered for the rest. But if I publish the rest first, they get spoilered for the current book. It’s a bit of a challenge here, since everything connects to each other.
Luckily, I have until the final draft is done, to decide wether or not I publish now or later.
And that sums up, what’s new.
I hope, you enjoyed reading this writing log and if so, please consider to share it and subscribe to my Tag List, so that you get notified when I post.
See you soon and bye bye 💕

My faviorite trope:
"No, we're not together. Just best friends."
*continues doing stuff that is very much romance coded*

it doesn’t matter anymore, you’re reaching for something that you will never attain. What i radiate, what is deep at my core, what i thrive in, you’ll never understand, will you? I’ve closed all chapters in life, burning them, and watching the ash kiss my soft skin. It feels refreshing, but its truly tragic, i dance among the stars, while you’re still stuck in time, chasing at what you’ll never have. I descend into my new reality, I’m always becoming anew, yet you’re still the same. Bitter. I waltz away, finally being set free, while you sit in your own despair, grasping at what i have. Its not yours. Its mine. Such an inhospitable thing to be around, taking away everyone’s last breaths just by existing. Sucking the life out of every single good thing, molding it into something its not. So fitting, its not surprising at all how envious you truly are, its rather funny. Envy, jealousy and hate, it all suits you perfectly. You sit in silence with all these feelings, unwell within, as it claws at your soul. How does it feel to be on the other side? Finally, this is what you deserve. Suffer. You did this yourself. I don’t care to watch anymore, but everyone who had to endure you, they can enjoy it.
- nothing can kill an ego as big as yours. How tragic.

Lonel: Draft 0 | Writing Log
Tumblr media
DATE: 08.017- 08.13 LAST DAY WC: 1,114 TOTAL WC: 3,587 CHAPTERS DONE: 1
THOUGHTS So I haven't written a single word until Sunday. Seriously, zero. None. Nada. And then the writing Gods were like "hey, wouldnt it be fun if we just made this gal here chug out the rest of the chapter she was struggling with in one sitting?". And you know what, it was fun. Tho it's a mess and I'm not as happy with the second half of it yet, but it's done. I also needed to realise (again) that Lonel will be very, very graphic. He's big on details which is crutial for someone who investigates, and he also works around death. So, yeah. Anyway, the make me write poll is not even over and I'm already done with the chapter, but if this one wins, I'll use that to edit what I got. Until then, on my way to the next chapter.
INSPIRATION SPARK: A tiny glint from Across The Spider-Verse, and the second season of Good Omens. Really tiny, barely noticable. But we started those, and I'm trying to gather every crumb of inspo I can get my hands on. From Spider-Verse it was mostly the vibe of the city, especially colour-wise. From Good Omens, well. I guess Crowely has a slight hint of Selys inspo if you squint. I enjoy them both nevertheless.

writing every day in march // days eight & nine
still writing my short story, very slowly. it’s nearly done (yes, I’ve said this for a week now)
I think I need a break from it and to work on something else. I want to write something under 1500-2000 words because everything I’ve written lately is 3-5000 and variety is good!
I feel pretty sad about being such a slow writer. It makes me wonder if I’ll ever get anywhere with my work.

Writing Log: 2023 Mid-Year Count (January–June)
Total: 327,004 words
This has been one of my most productive years in quite a while, but I admit the total word count still caught me off guard. In contrast, I wrote only (”only”) 269,259 words in all of 2022. There really is something in the JJK water.
I started writing for JJK after November 20. From then till now (excluding July), I’ve written 391,050 words.
No clue how long this will last. My inspiration is its own thing, so I might stop tomorrow, might keep doing this for another year. I’m just enjoying the ride while I’m on it.
Month-wise and fic-wise splits:
By Fic:
isolation neophyte, too afraid to taste your conscience [JJK, goyuu, Nanami PoV of de-aged Gojou]: 5,316
there’s a lover in the story, but the story’s still the same [JJK, goyuu, Yuuji PoV of de-aged Gojou]: 36,347
for granted, in vain, I took everything I ever cared about [JJK, goyuu, Gojou PoV of the de-aging aftermath]: 41,455
baby blue, they paid you to take my youth and use it up [JJK, goyuu, role reversal a/b/o dubcon heatfic]: 44,711
the way it follows you home, the stories i never told [JJK, goyuu, time travel ft. Gojou/Yuuji/Gojou]: 47,971
your body language on me tells me to be unholy [JJK, goyuu, train groping and alley sex]: 12,840
i'm starving, darling, let me put my lips to something [JJK, goyuu, Gojou  tiddyfucking]: 8,460
your resistance, prophetic self-destruction [JJK, goyuu and chosoita, post-Shibuya vore fic]: 40,712
break my patience, corrupt my sacred art [JJK, goyuu, fluffy drunken dubcon]: 21,807
(let me be clear) every version of the story ends with you being slaughtered [JJK, goyuu, canon divergence where Yuuji chooses death and Gojou kidnaps him]: 67,385
By Month:
January             59,865
February           62,331
March               20,071
April                  60,438
May                  63,672
June                 60,627

23rd January - 505 words.
Worked On: the Reverser Vampire AU
Favourite Line: ehhh, just adding in some edits and thoughts so, not much really to choose from.
Gerard rubbed his arm and laughed. "Hey, be nice to me! I’m sick AND a guest!"
Ugh. Well. Apart from the fact that I think I hurt my ankle a little bit, I guess today was alright. Apart from the rain. I'm not a fan of the rain. Especially not as I'm heading to work. Rain on the way home from work is more than okay, because I'm on my way home.

Week 3 Update
Mixed feelings for this week, but here's the rundown:
January 15, 2024 - 307 words, Renkaza fanfic
January 16, 2024 - 614 words, Renkaza fanfic
January 17, 2024 - 188 words, Renkaza fanfic
January 18, 2024 - 0 words
January 19, 2024 - 766 words, original piece
January 20, 2024 - 377 words, original piece
January 21, 2024 - 802 words, Renkaza fanfic
TOTAL WORDS FOR THE WEEK: 3,054
So that Renkaza fic just...it ain't working. I'm putting it on hiatus for now. I can't figure out a good direction for it right now. I may come back to it at a later date, but in the meantime I'm taking the usable smut and turning it into a separate piece.
I'm glad that I wrote as much as I did but it's hard to not be disappointed by the fact that like, a lot of what I wrote is basically now in limbo. Does anyone else struggle with that? Like yes my goal here isn't about finishing and publishing pieces it's about getting back into writing consistently, but it's hard not to think about that as a secondary goal. I dunno!
That said, I'm still doing pretty good. I don't mind skipping one day every so often especially when I'm writing way more than my goal pretty much every other day that I do write.
If you're reading these, please know that I appreciate you coming on this journey with me. I know I'm largely just writing public diary entries at this point, but honestly this has done wonders for giving me some sense of structure beyond the regular humdrum of my job, and having even one or two people cheering me on is pretty nice.
So yeah, thank you. <3
