Apr. 3rd, 2019 09:53 ami woke up this morning not realising i'd get into an argument with a 5-year-old about whether or not one can have a birthday without having a birthday cake... needless to say, i stopped by the store and bought myself a cake just in case she was right, because i would really like to have my birthday today, lol.
me, writing a new chapter: okay, so this is the outline for this chapter, let's stick to it! 
me, when the characters start doing whatever they want: oh, okay! that's fine, it still fits into the story, as long as we go back to using the outline as soon as you're done with whatever you're doing.
me, when the chapter ends up being 3+k of sadness and introspection, even tho the outline didn't have anything of the sort:

my 7-year-old is participating in a readathon this year (much like he did last year), and his goal for monetary donations is $250USD. i won't ask any of you to actually donate; i just ask that you consider it. any and all proceeds go to Bookspring's childhood literacy programs here in the central austin area (where we live). if you don't want to donate, that's absolutely fine! but could you please at least leave him an encouraging comment on his page? he loves reading the nice messages every day, and it would go a long way in keeping him motivated on actually reaching his goals!
in the last three days alone, he's read 113 pages (out of the 1500 he wants to achieve) over 97 minutes (out of 420), and has $85usd raised!
link is here. it ends on 8 february.

so with all the crap that tumblr is pulling, it looks like i'm back here again! so hi! hopefully, i can keep up with this. I also have a pillowfort if you would like to join me there. unfortunately, until pf changes from a .io domain to one that allows explicit content freely, this will be the only place i post any explicit ficlets/snippets from fics that have explicit content, or explicit art (which i'm hoping to get more into, because i got a new tablet/laptop thingy that allows me to do ~art~ lol). here's to hoping that this doesn't turn out to be an exercise in futility - and by that, i mean that i really need friends xD
so yesterday, i posted about how i was having difficulty writing, and was most likely going to have to do a writing-sprint in order to get it done.
well...
that didn't happen. i managed to write an entire chapter without the help of a sprint. so now i'm watching pinky and the brain while i start writing the final chapter of the magic of miracles. so today's off to a good start.

writing is haaarrrrd
May. 7th, 2017 12:56 pmi finally managed to get chapter eighteen of magic of miracles written, typed up, and sent off to my beta, so now all i have to do is wait for her to send it back. i'll be updating the story again on tuesday, but all i want to do is update it now. ><;
i'm hoping to finish writing the next two chapters within the next week (two, at most), so that i can start working on "bonus content" for it.
anyway.
as the title says: writing is haaarrrrd. i'm trying to focus on starting chapter nineteen, but all i can do is watch cartoons and write only five words at a time. it's ridiculous. ><; here's to hoping it gets easier. i might have to do a writing-sprint to get the creative juices flowing.
oh, for the love of thor, i'm irritating myself with my lack of writing.
