A year ago I bought a BIG box of green ink pens (because they were like $1 cheaper than black ink). I thought I’d be writing in them forever but I’m now down to the *very last* one thinking about all the writing I got to do thanks to that box and I’m getting emotional 😭

Let’s Write a Novel ⭐️ Day 19 (78/70K)

And that right there, is the climax of the book done!

That means all that’s left to write is the epilogue(s). Book 3 of The Fabulous Gays has such a large cast, I’m most likely going to have to give each group their mini epilogue~ 😅

It’s so crazy to think that the book is almost done. This always sneaks up on me. Suddenly the end of the journey is in sight and I know I’ll soon have to leave these characters and worlds (at least, for a little while) 💔

Kitty & I are back on our project to watch every Disney movie in chrono order so here’s an update:

- The Black Cauldron (1985)? Kinda bad

- The Great Mouse Detective (1986)? Better than I remembered

- Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)? How is this movie rated PG?? It’s a good movie but I’m confusion

I had a terrible night of sleep so I didn’t start writing until way later than I usually do—but I’m not stopping today until the writing is done!

This book is so close to being over. If everything goes according to plan, I might write the final word tomorrow. 💪✨

Let’s Write a Novel ⭐️ Day 18 (75/70K)

I’ve had so much time to think about the climax/ending of this story that the writing has been unusually frictionless.

I sat down, put on music, and started writing. No wind-up or warm-up. Just started putting the words one in front of the other and stopped only for long enough to grab lunch~

There’s this weird notion that writing the ending of your book is going to be harder than anything else, but at least for me that’s not the case at all.

By the time I’m writing the last 3rd of a book I’ve had ...

There are a good 5-10 story ideas in the back of my mind that I’ve tried to make work but for one reason or another I’ve had to shelf. Then while in the middle of living someone says something or I see/feel/read something and I just think to myself,

what if I tried again?

In perfect me-fashion, today’s chapter has turned into *two* chapters. Already finished one and I’m about half-way through the second.

A part of me wants to wrap it up for the day—but NAH. I’ll grab lunch and then get back to writing. This climax is too fun to call it quits~ 😁

“I felt like I was a reverse-Pinocchio; I had once been a real person, with real-person emotions, but somewhere along my story a fairy had turned me into a wooden puppet.”

People are sharing their favorite arts from 2021, and this one is by far my favorite! I’ve only been drawing seriously for about a year and I’m proud of how far I’ve come 💚💛💜
