dreamt of a very detailed, very kind semi-rejection (?) email. (the feedback is surprisingly helpful—thank you, subconscious!)
wishing everyone a full-request friday & other good news! ☺️

project updates:
OUTFALL → i ended up scrapping the very first section and adding in a new chapter at the beginning
SWBB (wip) → first draft done at an absurd wc, so i'm letting it sit before going back to revise
TPD (new wip!) → outlined, so i'll start the first draft this month ;-)

i have this problem where i'm ~70% done with a project/wip/etc and then get an idea for something else, which of course my brain believes is sooo much better and more interesting (╥﹏╥) be quiet brain! let me work in peace! we'll get to that other thing later!

i've been in denial, but there’s no way i'm finishing my draft LOL skimming through it rn and there a lot more holes and missing scenes than i realized... might actually end up being my goal for next week :'-) still making decent progress though!
dare i say to finish my wip's first draft...? sure! we aim high! :-D
also—quest pit!! made my things ahead of time to spare myself the stress, and i'm looking forward to seeing other people's posts and getting motivated + inspired by everyone
(and... maybe send out a couple of queries? we shall see)

it's a bit bizarre to go from writing romance almost exclusively → thrillers (although there is a platonic-verging-on-romantic situation hehe 👀)
working on this horrormance wip is bringing back a lot of tropes i missed LOL
& the wip i have planned for later.. well. i love love, so it'll be fun! ;]

if it wasn't obvious this also applies to writing. in fact i think the concept of "you'll probably hate your first draft" might be essential to writing alongside the concept of a piece never being "finished"
art is evolution. let it grow in your hands
art is evolution. let it grow in your hands
Do you know what happens if you draw something but it's not good enough for your standards? NOTHING. AT ALL.
If you don't like how it looks, you can just re-draw it tomorrow or next month or next year! Just try to do it!! It's also the best way to improve your own art

PEARL x THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER x PARASITE
the love interest would see it as HEATHERS (the movie, not the musical) fmc's freakiness is cute at first but then... not exactly silly goofy later
full reasons tbd LOL

these aren't recent, but OUTFALL would be great for people who like ↓
THE CONJURING (vibes + freaky hauntings) + IT FOLLOWS (sense of dread + fmc's paranoia) x IT: CHAPTER TWO (return to hometown + facing childhood trauma)
bonus: i wrote a lot while listening to "already gone" by sleeping at last!

spent the better part of the month working on non-wip related creative projects, and ended up being super productive! i'll be carrying that momentum with me and bringing renewed excitement to work on my wip :-D
