Telling your OC lore out loud to friends is so funny because it looks cool and poignant in your head and then actively telling it makes you feel like a 3 year old holding an etch a sketch

Already done with editing Morgan's story for the week! Might try to do a second one and have it be an impromptu Week of the Enby. I also some art for them in the works that I'm excited about from one of my favorite artists,,

I'd like to make a new stream account and maybe do some writing/productivity streams. Just some focused time where I'm not getting distracted. Could be good for writing prompts or editing, especially once I have a lot more spare time after moving.

Circe ends up accidentally being photogenic a lot, even in the backgrounds of pictures. Which isn't great when her whole job relies on avoiding getting noticed but...

Wednesday story updates! Morgan now has a couple stories up finally, as well as another update to Dead Girl's Switch as Eden starts her second night with her curse. hon-e-bee.carrd.co #writingcommunity

I swear this happens all the time with writing because of my memory issues, especially with naming things. Adds to the stress even more because I've mistakenly named people/factions from things I've read and only realized it later down the line. Not the end of the world but it feels embarrassing.

Sorry the toxic lesbians won again 😭

Okay no more getting distracted writing toxic romance stuff, I'm making sure I have Morgan's stuff edited and posted because I've put it off for weeks now...

I had a random dream last night of an OC that I'm pretty sure I made when I was 15 and haven't thought about in half a decade. But they used to be *the* default character I always wrote about when I was younger. Weird what jumbles free with all my memory issues, especially when I'm trying to sleep.

I got a cut on my pointer finger from cooking and it's exactly where it touches when I type 😭 I wanna get more writing done but it's bothering me so much...

My poor disaster enby Morgan... They chase after anything that moves and the idea of serious love/relationships is horrifying. The last person they actually dated and cared for broke their heart. Now Morgan is falling hard for their bandmate, and they're in agony about it.

Had a cute little craft night where I did a lot of worldbuilding stuff for Corvus! Messing with a new program for organizing it and it's making my brain really happy seeing it all together like this 😭 #WritingCommunity

Something that I've always struggled with because of past relationships/friends is expecting to be made fun of for my writing and not wanting to talk about it because of being afraid of that. Think having a place completely dedicated to writing and trying to care less is already helping a lot ^^

Morgan likes calling, they've got a nice rapport with the front desk at the gender clinic. General doctor appointments are less fun but still not too much stress. Eden does appointments every 3 months and if she ever needed to reschedule or adjust it, she'd probably just stop going.

In a (sort of?) similar vein to the alchemist story I've had in my mind forever now, I'd really love to write a monster researcher's journeys around, putting together notes and seeing the world through the lens of the wildlife. Don't think it would be Corvus though- but it could be?

Wednesday story updates! Chapter added for Dead Girl's Switch and more Corvus lore from its apocalyptic past. hon-e-bee.carrd.co #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Morgan never really grew up from the 'stomping in puddles' part of their life. Even when they're been struggling as an adult, rainy days have been very calming and come with lots of nice memories 🧡

Really love magic systems in stories that ask something of the body of the person using it. Not just mana or something secondary, but the physical interaction with it. Exhaustion, blood, headaches, eye strain, calluses/marks- you're limited by your body but also bear the signs of pushing too far.

Would you like some WIP nonsense to begin the week? 🥰 #art #oc #commission #wip #artsky #ocsky

Pantomiming stuff to myself to get a feel for how it should look in writing, forgetting I'm on camera with my wife 😭

Making the Echoes overbearingly red is really cool stylistically in the story but it's become a fun/difficult challenge to figure out how to describe how things look when you take away color and only have contrast/texture.

A disaster. "Which character?" All of them. (We don't count Alexandra, she's a princess and if she had to take care of her own place it would be a mess too)

I feel like I'm the least subtle when it comes to things I love with character designs. It's literally just: - white hair - droopy eyes - gender fuckery - body mods/scars - heterochromia/weird eye shapes Circe is 4/5 of these, think Morgan is the only one that doesn't have more than one lol

Weird to be starting what is probably the last chapter or two before the end of Eden's first arc. Going to end up being 70k words or so and it feels like the world is finally going to open up for the story now. Not sure if that'll be a place to pause it or not and pick something else up!

Chapters posted for the week! A domestic story between a Beast and Being for Corvus, and the fallout from Eden's first night in the otherside. Will do a small "Part 2" update for Eden later today once I finish up some editing but yesterday was very busy and I didn't get to it ;; hon-e-bee.carrd.co

Morgan and Eden only ever go in to get HRT refills and blood tests, but otherwise are apathetic towards doctors. Morgan is a bit better about it and has gone in for therapy and hand/wrist injuries from playing violin, but Eden has gotten hurt multiple times and only relies on a work friend for help.

Going back and editing stories, I feel so much better at writing than when I started. I had an issue before of very rich writing but losing out on structuring it in a way that is compelling to read (especially the beginning/hook)! It's nice to have this change to redo that part of it ^^

Morgan - old wildlife docs and aquarium 24/7 livestreams Circe - fighting game vods and arcade cabinet restorations Eden - just uses it to play music lol

Okay I have a good setup for writing now I think- Main project (Eden's story) during the week. Side story (Morgan/Corvus) on the weekend as a break. Because taking a break and writing something silly this weekend has been amazing for my motivation.

Breaks! Do something else! If you're needing to write and taking a break doesn't help, honestly loosely blocking out the next few pages with short notes helps. Don't try to make it pretty or detailed, just describe on a high level what's going to happen and the important emotions to fill in later.

I think it's going well!

The 'get along sweater' post from a week ago gave me a silly story idea for Morgan and Grace I should write out this weekend...

Having a wife that's very into worldbuilding and extremely thoughtful helps so much whenever I'm stuck on Corvus stuff ;; I'm very lucky

Have to run off to the dentist so posting the chapters for this week a bit early for both stories! A chapter about the lore of Corvus, and the first proper chapter of Eden with her curse. hon-e-bee.carrd.co #writingcommunity

Circe used to live out in a more wooded part of the world as a kid before she made it to the city, so she spent a lot of times following trails to see where they went and getting lost. It's more of a trip to find anywhere like that nearby her anymore but she still does during slow weeks.

I just got done writing a full page where it's nothing but Eden's thoughts with barely any breaks. So maybe... (Circe is probably the only character I've written that isn't constantly In Her Own Mind. But she's running around scamming bounty hunters so it comes with the job.)

Beach vacation for Morgan! They've lived in colder places all their life and isn't anywhere near the coast, so they've never gotten to before. Half the reason for going is because they love the ocean and the other half is getting to dress for warmer weather and look hot lol

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

Honestly I feel like half of my short story ideas come from half-asleep dreaming and typing it out on my phone as soon as I wake up before I lose it.

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

I've written like...almost 50,000 words now of a bleak world and a very depressive character slowly improving, and a lot of stuff that's very close to me but draining. So I think all my other stuff, especially for Corvus, are going to be a lot happier and nice and cathartic for a bit 💜

I'm happy I have so many notes for Corvus and I organized them all because I *sure* need them coming back to a story I was working on last year. I'm not sure if the whole doc for the world will ever get posted, I kinda like having a dozen short stories that are all little hints at what's going on.

Oh for #lesbianvisibilityweek I'd like to bring a little bit of extra attention to a very sapphic story about a royal knight and her princess at a hot spring that I'm fond of! Wrote it around when my wife and I started dating and it means a lot to me 💝 www.scribblehub.com/read/2293846...

Morgan and Grace probably, since their first interaction is Grace pulling them by their hair and telling them to straighten up. I feel like if other people are around the two of them will bicker forever, but if they're left alone in the sweater you'll come back and find them both napping together.

Once things are a little more settled money-wise, I'd really like to have designs for all of the characters I've been writing about. All of Morgan's bandmates, everyone in Eden's story, and so on.

The rhythm for updates is going to be weekly chapters for both on Wednesdays until I'm caught up, then I'm going to start to clean up some older stories and post them as well while I'm working on new chapters of dgs. Corvus updates might be a little more sporadic once I don't have a backlog!

Circe is every self-indulgent character design trope I like bundled up in one person. I do like Morgan as well but I think they're tough to write at times? They're prone to looking for validation in unhealthy ways, and I get stuck a lot on how to portray it well without absolving them either.

Circe has always liked yellows and oranges, so there's bits of it in her outfits, even when she's doing jobs.
