I’ve said this ten thousand times in the past but, when it comes to planning/writing a novel, DON’T TRUST YOUR MEMORY.

Got a cool idea?
✍️ Write it down!

Thought of a cool line of dialogue?
✍️ Write it down!!

Came up with a twist for book 3?
✍️ WRITE. IT. DOWN.

Here’s your evening reminder to carry a notebook with you at all times~ 📓✨

maxkirin:

Oh yeah, I should’ve probably cleared this up sooner, but the novel I’m writing this month is *not* book 2 of The Fabulous Gays.

It’s book 3.

The Fabulous Gays, Volume 2 is coming early 2022! Get ready to meet Hoshi’s clown of an ex-boyfriend (and more)~ Stay Tuned 🤡🌈

Fun Fact: Book 2 has been written and 99% edited since May of this year (when Book 1 came out). It’s basically just waiting for me to write Book 3 so that I know if I need to make some last-minute edits to the story~

One of the books I read last month had 2 characters with very similar names. And it got messy. You could tell the moment the author realized they were in deep because 30% thru the book everyone starts addressing one character by their last name.

I hate to be so blunt but—why even bother? Why not just change the character’s name and skip all this confusion? Nobody ever addressed them by their last name. Hell the other character didn’t ever get a last name.

Listen homie, I know you wrote yourself in...

So I’m brainstorming this book, right? I’m fleshing out the new characters, figuring out what their names are. This new character was giving me trouble, but then it hit me. His name should be Joshua. I’ve never written a Joshua. It’s such a lovely name.

But then, I realize…

Joshua is going to spend most of this book hanging out with Jason. That’s two J names with similar visual outlines. Go ahead, squint your eyes. Joshua. Jason. Joshua. Jason. Yeah, that’s not going to work. That’s just asking to...

I didn’t get around to making an image for October’s reading project but, let me tell you, no one is more surprised than me.

That’s right.

I managed to read 13 books last month.

Isn’t that wild?? 😨
