me two weeks ago: writing 8k words in 6 hours me today: slogging thru 3k words ALL DAY

i don't "ship" real ppl but every once in a while there's 2 kpop idols with such insane chemistry that i'm like

having a bit of a rough time with my confidence around writing, i think maybe i just wrote too much too fast and it all started to get too sloppy for my tastes. time to re-read my old writing from last year and figure out what i was doing that made it feel so much more full.

I just got a comment on a very old fic, which is itself delightful. But their longer comment got cut off on my email notification by my phone to just "thanks author, you have made me very sad", and that's how I almost choked on my lunch today.

The writing life.

hit a chapter that i wasn't at all excited to write and had to add new side characters and now i'm stuck. 😭

me and the fics i haven't updated in years:

woke up this afternoon and stared at the ceiling while a scene for my fic played in my brain so i had to get up and immediately write it down. unfortunately, that scene isn't for like... 40 chapters. and i've been slogging thru the current chapter ever since. ;-;

part 1 of my fo3 fanfic is finished and uploaded to ao3... 28,625 words across 12 chapters in just about ten days of writing! 👏 yay!! started posting part 2 yesterday and i'm already at 7,186 words in just two chapters. 🫠 in case you'd like to read it... check it out!

Get on the road to ruin and become a writer

i love this acct bc i follow so few ppl that my 'for you' feed is just the same 3 hyperfixations that i literally don't know anything about but i'm getting weirdly attached to these anime characters i've never seen before.

is it fucked up to write a scene where the main character is choked nearly to death and has to crawl herself back to safety to 'Since U Been Gone' by Kelly Clarkson? maybe, idc. i'm doing it.

every chapter i write i'm like "damn that's way more words than i meant for it to be, gotta be more careful next chapter" and then next chapter is 500 more words than that

in case you'd like to actually read this silly story that definitely won't be frustrating and tragic and heartwrenching... : ) check it out on ao3. ꒰ #drowzwritez #writersky #fallout #wip ꒱

i wrote 10k words from friday to sunday then i got tomodachi life on monday and not a single word has been written since... instead my characters are happy on the island

writing and posting my shit on ao3 so fast so i can't re-read it too many times and start to hate it

all of my best writing comes after 2 am but unfortunately i also start making grammatical errors that make me sound like i'm in second grade at around that time 🫠

did you know? you can get a good grade in commenting on ao3 (something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve) by quoting a line that happens to be the author's favorite too

your honor, i would kill for my do-gooder sunshine vaultie and her oversized grumpy bodyguard. ꒰ #drowzwritez #writersky #fallout3 #wip #ellipsus ꒱

drow·sy ⋆ sleepy and lethargic. "The girl had drifted for decades, sleep undisturbed, through the network... until one day, she was awakened, 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐲 and bed-headed." nim·bus ⋆ a rain cloud. "A shaggy halo of 𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐬, unkempt pink hair fluffed as if it were a cloud, crowned the girl."

the alien is awake now... ꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ aaaanyways, i want to do a little "intro yourself" post. hi, my name is Drowsy ... ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ i'm a cloud-based alien (yes, the digital cloud, not the meteorological cloud). i'm new to bsky... i just learned how to access it on the network! (๑´`๑)♡ so hiiiii~

starting a fallout 3 fanfic while my fallout new vegas fanfic rots in the "Recent Projects" list...

saying "fuck ice" or "ice is doing bad stuff" is like the bare minimum, most lukewarm expectation i have for folks i surround myself with & ppl whose content i watch.

outspoken leftist vtubers and streamers, where are you guys at? it feels very awkward especially in the overlap between vtuber & coworking streamer to find ppl whose values match my own with regards to speaking out instead of being silent.

my goal is to read more books this year (i'm only up to 2 so far 😭) so pls recommend your favorites below!! ↓ i'm especially looking for graphic novels/manga, horror, romance, & fantasy but i also love memoirs, creative nonfic, historical/period fiction.

now that i can save drafts here hopefully i'll be more active. i have a lot of thoughts but feel bad dropping them all in quick succession...

it's so cringe trying to find other writers who stream writing & co-working content and seeing how many of them use AI images & art for their profiles/books. so incredibly icky...

character concept collages for my two newest characters from my fanfic wip~ i bet you can't guess what fandom i'm writing for... (i fear it's totally obvious.)

starting a new wip while my 3 other wips sit in the "Recent Projects" tab on Scrivener staring at me like this

now kiss (except they don't for another 20k words)... ꒰ #drowzwritez #writersky #writesky #snippets #wip #ellipsus ꒱

i absolutely love them and cannot wait to work on the re-write this year! ꒰ #drowzwritez #writersky #writesky #snippets #wip #ellipsus ꒱
