Does anyone else love unintentional foreshadowing? I found out today that roses have a history as a symbol of secrecy. Fitting, I think, for a story about assassins!

Final word count of the day: 12,839

Session: 1,007/1000 words. (Decreased Session Target. I can't do 2,500 words per sitting. I accept defeat!)

I totally fell off the writing bus last week, putting myself way behind schedule. My solution? Double my weekly updates on Inkitt! Anyone relate to the self-inflicted pressure deadlines?

I missed updating yesterday because I realised I duplicated a chapter so my word count went down 🙈 how disappointing... BUT WE FORGE ON!

Current word count: 9,322

Today's target: 850 words.

I set a goal for myself that I will have the first draft of Shadow's Rose done by April 30, 2025. That equates to 850 words a day. To motivate myself, I'll post my daily writing progress!

Current word count: 8,315

Target: 2,046 (I missed yesterday)

Let's goooo!
