I'm still exhausted all the time (yay 50 hour workweeks) but I've finally had a bit of my creative spark return this week. So have a few page spreads from the Idiot's Guide to Moressau that I polished up over the last few days.

Two more sections to go (this whole thing would go a lot quicker if I wasn't making up 90% of it as I go :P)

I'M DOUBLE DIPPING! I also got tagged a bit ago by @chayscribbles for the Who's Line Is It Anyway tag game. (You can see theirs here!)

share a line of dialogue from your wip without context, people have to guess which of your characters it belongs to.

Leaving this an open tag!

Last Line Tag!

Thank you @pandoras-comment-box for the tag! Check out their post here!

I about choked when I checked where I'd left off on this scene:

“I’ve been thinking about pissing in your coffee.”

Whelp.

No pressure tagging @gracehosborn @void-botanist @dyrewrites @thatndginger and @scribe-of-stories

#double the tag game double the fun

#Sunset Vol 3

New Achievement Unlocked: I swore in front of a customer for the first time.

Me: Oh, I'm sorry!

Customer: Naw, no worries--I'm from Mass.

Me: I am also from Mass.

Customer: Oh, then yeah, you can't turn that shit off.

He's not wrong.

#you can take the Masshole out of Massachusetts but... #turns out his mom is from the town i grew up in lol #tbf he was asking about things not related to the coffeeshop and it circumvented my swear filter #and it's been A. Day. #not writing

I DO obsessively read peoples tags when they rb my art

And, yes, I DO kick my little feets and giggle when I get compliments

Last Line Tag

I have made progress! Almost all the words I completely threw out have been replaced with a new structure for the opening of #plot armadillo (which I can already tell is going to get turned into a word mosaic in draft 2). I am happy and I am still excited to write, so I'm going to go back and try to hit the word-related tag games I put in the drafts.

First up is the last line tag from @tabswrites, which I think I missed completely when I was originally tagged because I would remember this gold line.

Where I stopped before I started transcribing:

Why is this man stalking me?

I'm going to gently tag @sunset-a-story, @touloserlautrec, and @tabswrites (because it has certainly been long enough to tag back at this point).

#So excited to hear the words are wording! #And yay(????) stalker vibes! #other writers

Theodore (my original character)

#oh this is such fun design! love the style too. #other's ocs #writers supporting artists

[sunset-a-story]

why are so many good names so very catholic

#that last part is so real though #Church vibes

I have too many projects to work on. Now I want to draw, but I have *checks poll* 5 different character things I've started sketching with none of them finished. And, the missing character picked a name, so now that she's not annoying me, I want to draw her two. Whatever order these end up in on the poll is the order I'll work on them.

#OooOoo! #gotta go with Finder but it was a hard call with telepath boys on the list #mutual's oc

What's the trope name for when someone finds out they're the Chosen One(tm) and is like "No, thank you" and goes and does something else

[sunset-a-story]

the fact that we need 8 hours of sleep is ridiculous we should only need 4 and the other 4 should be used to be cozy in your bed and rub your legs together like a cricket and listen to music and think about your little scenarios

I've always imagined Alex's psychometry to be glowy and blue and sort of electric and ephemeral.

#Alex's psychometry! #my co writer #i love this and how shiny it is!

I'm a fantastic writer, and I know this.

So why don't I feel like one?

#lovely moots- drink water; eat something; take your meds; and get some rest

[sunset-a-story]

having such an obvious favorite character trope is life ruining bro

#this is me and telepaths

[sunset-a-story]

ok writeblr i have a question and it does not matter if you answer re fanfic or original work:

do you nerds know what themes you intend to tackle in longer works before you start, or are the themes a fun little surprise you don't uncover until the nth draft?

#I start writing with characters and a story in mind & trust that if I tell a well-rounded story that the themes will be there when I'm done
