CW: Animal death I don't know if this counts~ but an injury is pretty bad if it kills (´∀｀)? (I don't write far enough in my stories to really fuck someone up ahaha...)

Kamen Rider ZEZTZ opening didn't have to go so hard. Now I want to watch the show lol!

I finished The Everlasting by @alixeharrow.bsky.social! I had a blast with my partner listening to the audiobook together while we worked. Now I need more big woman small man in my life 😭💖 I'm totally gonna grab the book and I can't recommended it enough.

I'm trying not to overwrite. I tend to just dump a bunch of words and I'm racking my brain so hard to capture what I want to say that I have a hard time finishing a first draft haha

Still reworking some lines in this one :3c #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This scene lives in my head rent free~ #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Hmmm~ I don’t think he would exist if he wasn’t a gun. (ah, do I have one toe in the spoiler territory?)

Going for the vibe! Exploring this idea for the opening paragraph. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Keep going, enjoy the process, and share all the exciting discoveries~ #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

Write stuff down in my notebook as it comes to me~ also a good excuse to use my fountain pen more #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

It’s getting me back into writing again~ and it’s so cool to see everyone working on their stories too! I love when creators gush about their projects, it inspires me to be more passionate about mine too! #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

All good~ since it's the first draft I can always go back and add things. Lots of _____ place holders for names or details I haven't worked out yet haha. It gets tough when I have a bit of time to write but nothing is coming to me. #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

I'm having a lot of fun tackling one scene at a time and working in world building. I am making a lot of discoveries about the story and the characters~ #WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall

Hey hey #WeeknightWriters I'm Jen! For #FirstDraftFall I'm working on my hopepunk murder mystery, haunted house cozy sci-fi. I couldn't get much done but I am happy with what I wrote~ Almost done with the first chapter!

I do like how this scene came together 😊 #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This is my favorite "trail" for today's #WIPSnips, from the sensory overload at the October ball.

We can all be a part of hope, a part of change, no matter how inconsequential we feel. We can exercise empathy and look for things to love and to protect. And don’t let anyone or anything take that humanity away from you.

Who got a shoulder and neck ache so bad it kept them up at night cause they played racquetball and then drew for 9 hours?

YAHHHHH NEW YORRRRKKK!!!!

God, how do you even suppose to human?

This snippet makes me want to wiggle in a good way :D #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

You know what makes the daylight savings time > standard time drag a whole lot better? Books featuring trans characters making their way in the world. Guess what? There's a specific itchio bundle for that. Check out the Trans People Take on the World bundle until Nov. 15 📚💙 itch.io/b/3352/trans...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBvm... Found this gem again! Scott Matthew has such a wonderful voice and the lyrics is just chef's kiss, not to mention Yoko Kanno's music. This song is an experience~

Found one! Nice! #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Nothing super coherent right now, here's some key points that comes to mind. -One party state -Smoke and mirror democracy (vote for anyone in one party) -Oligarch plutocracy -Dangle the carat, keep bread on table, metaphoric cannibalism authoritarian capitalism -Government groomed military

I wrote around 175 words this morning in an hour-ish~ Lord have mercy, I'm a smol snail 🐌 (It was fun though!)

Kingdom Hearts is light!

I faint around 10:30 these days~ Will try to crawl up in the morning though! (Morning tend to work better since I don't feel as overwhelmed~) #WeeknightWriters

Probably yap about it to my wife haha, then some homemade pound cake~ #WeeknightWriters

I'm going to try to get the basic story down from beginning to end, under 40k for sure. I'll be pretty happy if I can get as far as I can~ #WeeknightWriters

I've been sneaky since I won't remember the sentences if I don't write them down haha. I'm looking forward to hammering out as much as I can without putting too much pressure on myself. I am also a pretty slow writer and prefer to edit as I go~ #WeeknightWriters

Hello! #WeeknightWriters I'm Jen, who likes to brainstorm stories when they are stressed~ For this #FirstDraftFall I am working on a zero draft of my cyber-hopepunk, haunted house novella, Project Eideon. I've put around 1K word down but it's been slow since I'm balancing a deadline 😣

Placebo spell. (One of the interactions between the character that I quite enjoyed ✨) #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Ohhh Andrea Gibson ;(

I know a lot of people are already spreading this info, but hoping to spread it a little further: donating to a food bank, food pantry, or food distribution mutual aid group is really important right now, as TFG and the fucking GOP are shutting down snap benefits on November 1. I'll link to a few

“‘The vast majority are children, working ppl, older Americans, veterans and people w/disabilities,’ Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America, says of food stamp recipients. ‘If the SNAP program shuts down, we will have the most mass hunger suffering we've had in America since the Great Depression.’”

I ate a slice of apple and it's so fucking good! 😭🍎 Fall really is apple season~

Dipping my tiny toe into the cozy thought pool. I always thought coziness in a story as an element in the narrative that is neither inherently good nor bad. Kinda like sugar is not by nature good or bad. It depends how you use it in the dish + individual need/taste (1/?)

No hats but found hairnet~ Ah, I'm flip-flopping on this snippet after reading it again since giving it a rest. ( I also realized that I might have to write another prologue but I Iiked the one I wrote before 🙂🛌 ) #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Reminded on the daily how much I love The Persian Boy by Mary Renault.

Some hard to convey feelings in this snippet. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I read over this story while looking for the word and it was fun to revisit it! 🌌🐉 #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

What my tarot think about me on my second day of that time of the month. 🪦

Found the word from one of my many unfinished WIPs 😅✌️ #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

The world in my novella is different but uses our world as a blueprint. I enjoy the freedom of working in a detached world but also using it to grapple with our current one. #WeeknightWriters

Figuring out the minute logistics. What is possible vs impossible. (First you are looking into what watermelon looked like hundreds of years ago and then you find out that a type of banana got decimated by fungus. 😭 And that makes you think about how farming works in your world.) #WeeknightWriters

I love it when all the interwoven pieces of a world come together and the world begin to feel real and grounded. I particularly enjoy the slice of life aspects too, like food, and things that you encounter on the daily. #WeeknightWriters

Info related to the MC and any questions that arises when I think about what makes the MC tick. (My notes just said MC for the longest time since I had no name for him lol) (To me, half of worldbuilding is annoying yourself with questions like Socrates at the marketplace.) #WeeknightWriters

They often come to me simultaneously. The world often informs me of why my characters behave a certain way. When a scene plays in my head I tend to need to understand why is that scene happening, so I start building the world enough so what I see starts to make sense. #WeeknightWriters

Good morn! #WeeknightWriters I'm Jen, a queer writer keen on queer narratives. For this #FirstDraftFall I am working on a zero draft of my cyber-hopepunk, haunted house novella, project "Eideon". I'm hoping to learn more about my world and characters through this short!
