That’s the thing about names, they feel like a big deal but they ain’t! Names are about the EASIEST thing to edit/change later on!
Context: In today’s chapter I think I finally came up with a satisfactory name for one of the factions—maybe? I’m not sure yet! 🤔
I feel like “I gotta get the name right before I can start writing” is one...

Today’s writing had me coming-face-to-face with one of those hard questions:
“What do you do when something you wrote contradicts something from earlier on? 😱😱😱"
Context: Today’s scene featured Fel (sweet, kind, total nerd) talking with Dominio (hardened criminal and vulgar as hell). And though the conversation was super fun to write, I recognize that the tone of their chat did *not* line up with the t...

When you want to write a book, it’s easy to feel like you have to wait:
⏰ Wait until you’re ready
⏰ Wait until you have *enough* experience
⏰ Wait for a sign…
But the only way you’ll actually write the book is if you START. Stop waiting, and make that dream a reality!You might make mistakes along the way, but that’s all part of learning and getting better. In the end, you’ll be better off.
Trust me. 🤞🌻

That being said, this chapter didn’t exactly go as...July 20, 2021

This means I’m formally 30% through this first draft! Exciting!! Let me tell you about today’s writing session:

I wanted to share the time-lapse for the latest illustration because it highlights how pushing yourself to start something, even if it means making mistakes, is better than just waiting around.
Also, you should all be glad I didn’t finish drawing that Very Cursed Pencil… ✏😈July 19, 2021

Would you like to see my daily writing updates on here? 🤔💭As you know I’m writing a new book at the moment and I’ve been posting daily writing update threads on Twitter/IG. People have really been liking them, and I was wondering if you would like me to also post them on here?
Here’s the update from last Saturday:
((Of course, it would all just be one text post because I’m not about that spamming life ✉))
Now, I’m a chaotic being living in a chaotic world, so if you’d like to vote leave on...
