C&D Book Update #5

Spent my whole Sunday fleshing out chapters 57+. Added chapter 70 today as well, after the idea for it just crossed my mind before bed yesterday.

I found I'm a really silly person. Also, shameless.

Chapters 57+ don't look polished yet, but I love them! It was so much fun...

Now I want to just immerse myself in the book I wrote and enjoy it, but I think I have to fix all the red marked phrases first. They have bad wording, or are too old (discarded ideas), or n other reasons... they are bad. And they need to go.

I feel lazy just thinking about it, but hey, no one will do it for me.

C'mon...

F can do it!!

My fav mangas

Gravitation (way better than the anime)

Like the Beast (love the author)

Saint Seiya (I hoard my full collection!!)

Hetalia (I can't believe there's a mafia!Hetalia coming up!)

Ao no Exorcist (most enjoyable angst for a queer teen)

Deadman Wonderland (I enjoyed it so much!)

Cherry Magic (cute cute cute)

07 Ghost (I loved it very much when I was a teen, but I remember nothing now)

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (I was in only for the gays, Fye and Kurochan)

When I was younger I also loved Bukiyou na Silent and Skip Beat, but I got no idea if it's any good anymore, really...

Best thing about music:

When I have no clue what to write next, I just throw on a carefully curated playlist, hit play, and dance so silly the gods cringe from the heavens.

The ideas come.

Every. Time.

(If they don’t, keep dancing. Sometimes it takes 15 hours or so)

My family insists I’m Kuzco, and my husband is Prince Caspian. The worst part? I can’t even argue. They’re absolutely right.

hahahaha omg I'm 1) with sprinkles of 2)

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'

TCIK Original Book Update #5

Hmmm. Yeah. Procrastinating. You got it.

But I AM writing! Just not in the right doc. I ended up having this idea-like always-and this idea now has 55-songs in its own playlist and a few scenes badly written. But damn, aren't they funny! I've never written scenes as hilarious as these before, in my life.

I think this specific book (not the one I've been working on before, which will come around August 2025) will come around mid 2026, perhaps. Or early 2027. Idk. I want to make it a long book, full of banter and ridiculous situations, so it will be harder to write than an angst book (at least that's how it works for me).

Anyway, the other book? The August 2025 one? Yeah, it's in what I call, "de molho". Which translates as "leaving it soaking", kinda, which means, yeah you got it you smart pie, I'm procrastinating. Out of ideas. Out of the will to write anything down. Hating it, even. But that's how it always goes. Give it a week or two, or maybe ten years, and I'm back to it again just fine.

All in all, wish me luck. Or don't wish me anything. Or wish me evil, and I'll just laugh. Below my blankets.

How

I didn't have THE internet while growing up. It just didn't exist. So I didn't have a lot of resources for research...

...seeing as "actual" books were hard for me to read. No attention span. I could only read Isaac Asimov. I think the last thing I read from him was this thing about robot dogs??

Now? Now there are a ton of tools to double-check facts. And I'm drowning in them. Frankly, internet is being too much for me. But my sister? She's thriving. She peruses the internet wonders as if they aren't a headache in disguise.

How????

I found this song again... I true masterpiece.
