Current project: The Nameless Song, hopepunk fantasy/romance with dragons (and bee people). Draft 6 in progress.

All Mick wanted was to keep his best friend Eleanor safe on their first adventure. But when fate binds him to a dead god and transforms him into a dragon, Mick's forced to rise from sidekick to king before a divine war wipes out the people he's been chosen to protect.

I wrote a lot by hand over the weekend, so transcribing, followed by marching forward into chapter 18 (and maybe 19). Also: Flagging earlier chapters for cutting, just for fun.

Personally: Kitchen experiments and maybe a day in the city, showing Beenjamin ~art~. #queerwriters
#queerwriters Monday: Goals Day!

What do you hope to accomplish this week? Can be anything, big or small! Let us know so we can cheer you on!

Holiday markets are in full swing in NYC! Braved the crowds to window shop in preparation for gift buying. Managed to find a pocket of space to show Beenjamin the festivities.

There has been at least one extensive study regarding whether or not bumblebees engage in play, and the answer is yes. Especially with balls.

#WIPSnips "Direction" also pops up quite frequently in this draft, but I'm going with a vibe/using "east" here instead because BEE PEOPLE WAGGLE DANCE.

(Yes, this is a snip I've shared very recently in my WIP's tag. But BEE PEOPLE WAGGLE DANCE.)

#Raven+Bear are hopeful stories.
They show a Wales which flourished independently.
Part of that is the inclusion of queer people.
Each story has a trans character, some royal & others nomads.
If you need a reprieve, my stories are there.

I realize now that there's no decent way to show this, because if zizzun use their stingers the way bees do, that means their tails go between their legs. Still, this is a rough sketch of what gave Mick a warning stab (minus the wings):

"Special" pops up a number of times in this draft, but honestly, I just wanted to share a vibe. So for today, have a bit about why Mick and Eleanor are special to each other:

A lot of politics happened in last night's writing session, but tbh, I think my favorite bit was the part where the adorable four-foot-tall bee that communicates mostly in dancing showed Mick why the dragons are letting the bees do whatever.

(Remind me to doodle this.)

I feel like it's important to let you all know that the bee people do, in fact, perform waggle dances to let each other know where resources are.

And it's as cute as it sounds.

#WIPSnips The Dead God gives Mick a vision that explains why the dragon refugees he was expecting never showed up.

Namely, the chosen one of the goddess of night *had*. In the form of a giant wolf. With armed guards assisting.

(CW for violence, blood, and character death.)

Quick dialogue sketch of the scene I'm about to write as a warm-up.

Context: Mick woke up less than an hour ago with the worst hangover he's ever had and yet another new body, and now he's navigating politics with a city full of dragons and a swarm of bee people.

Sooooo I'd sketched out the new outline, and TNS has 32 chapters. 31 once we revise the first couple of chapters.

The draft, meanwhile, is at 73.6k at chapter 16. 🫠 The bees are introduced properly in chapter 15.

Long thread about relationships and whatnot, because it's been a hot moment since we've had these personal spells, yeah?

Me: "I'm a little worried Eleanor's personality isn't coming through enough in this draft."

Eleanor: [Tazes Albert by punching him in the stomach while electrifying her fist with magic]

Me: "Oh, never mind, there she is."

#WIPSnips In an underground temple flooded with the corpses of monsters, the Dead God gives Mick one really good reason to agree to be his chosen one.

Namely, that Eleanor's about two seconds from dying if he doesn't.
November 16, 2025 at 5:11 PM
The betas seemed to really like Eleanor, but this was before I removed her POV (and also introduced the bee people).

Still, nerdy magi-science gremlin elf with no filter, a flair for dramatics, and The Bisexuality? I could see why they liked her. :V

Sooooo I woke up at 1 pm, ran a couple of errands, got lunch at a cafe (where writing happened dw), came home, and slept for another three hours.

I'm guessing my sleep cycle needs to be fixed, but I'm not sure. :V

The deeper I get into this draft, the more I realize Mick's character arc is about impostor syndrome and holding ourselves back despite our actual competence, and it's ironic but also not surprising that I am suffering with impostor syndrome rn.

NaNo update: THE BEES HAVE ARRIVED. 🐝🐝🐝

I wasn't sure if I'd get anything done today, ngl, because I've been feeling super off all day. Still, nudged myself at least to Yarrow's introduction, just so I don't have to make up *more* tomorrow.

On tabs for tomorrow: Oops, all action. :V

#WIPSnips Early chapter fun: Eleanor wants banter, and Mick wants to ignore the problems that he should probably seek therapy for because everything is FINE.
