So I realllyyy wanted to stick to the 27th of September for VOL'S release, but seasonal depression has been kicking my ass and I still have to finish this final round of edits. I really don't want to rush it and end up overlooking anything so it'll probably be pushed back to October 🫶

me saying "that's my man" outloud as I edit a book I WROTE, as if I didn't type the character into existence

CR: (beta read) Vow of Loathing by @kmbauthor.bsky.social 💙📚👀 #booksky #currentlyreading

Locking in for a night of final edits of VOL and I may have done the yearning too well, because I'm losing it just reading this back 😩😩

SO I HAVE AN UPDATE. I seriously need to be more active on here, but as always if you want to see my bookish ramblings and personal yaps follow me @xkirstyreadsx.bsky.social BUT ANYWAY I can finally share the map I commissioned from @valterink.bsky.social and its BEAUTIFUL 😭

I need to get my ass into gear and finish editing VOL so I can get arcs sorted for early September 👀

If you don't turn yourself on with your own writing then what are you doing

Back at it again with the VOL rewrite & kicking my feet at this scene

back to rewriting vow of loathing and we're 293 pages down with 266 to go 🫡

they're just a fun little side character I'm writing 📍 📏 (one detailed dreamt up backstory) 📏 📏 📍oh nooo, they're now vital to the plot

That doesn't sound right. 😂😂

I may have just stumbled upon the fae councils meeting spot

I'm built up of situationships that were never intended to do more for me than inspire the stories in my head

I'm unable to edit this scene without cracking up bc everytime I get to it I'm in tears 😂

Common author experience

almost halfway through my vow of loathing rewrite (i'm changing it from third person to first person) and i'm so excited for people to read it because these characters?? i'm so attached like when i say acotar x bridgerton, just know i mean it

how obvious is it that bridgerton was my hyperfixation when i wrote this (back to editing vow of loathing)

back to editing vow of loathing and everytime I shock myself with how good my writing is?? I'm expecting it to be trash and here I am in love w every piece of it (maybe its delusion, maybe it's maybeline)

sparring and then he's on his knees, the sword is at his neck and the other guy uses the tip to lift his chin and encourage him to get back to his feet

2025 author goals? 🫡

my writing wrapped: 🍂 224k written 🍂 1 book written and in the editing process (129k) 🍂a sequel fully plotted (as well as at least 6 others half plotted) 🍂 another book half written (70k) 🍂 at least 4 new projects currently in the writing process

Autumn at the castle #pixelart

I love my writer brain bc I'll think up a little mini plot for one of my wips and it'll spiral into planning another book or 3 when I intended for it to be a standalone 😂

😩😩👏👏

Finish edits on Vow of Loathing and see it published AND finish writing my slasher wip, which is over 300 pages atm and may be split into 2 parts at this rate. BIG wish would be to have part 1 published by Halloween next year too 😩😂
