Cracked 90 thousand this afternoon on B1. Next scene I need to write is the Big Sad so while I wasn’t in the mood to either stop writing nor write Big Sad I decided to transfer all the scenes & convos I’ve written already for B2 to my laptop & as it’s not connected to the internet did it manually 😶

Not bad for a story that came from a literal jokey conversation between me & one of my best friends! I should feel proud I’ve gotten this far but tbh it’s been a fun journey. Can’t wait til I write the end for these characters soon & move on to book #2 which I am just as excited to start #writer

Starting writing the basic timeline for book 2 in the diaries (I use physical diaries to make sure things work - accidentally created an extra day between Fri&Sat once until I checked it worked) & to plan. Still not cheating on Book1 though as nothing has been written on the laptop yet #writers

Trying really hard not to cheat on my first book but since I can’t use my laptop I’ve been doing a lot of background & scenes for the next one. Literally just made myself cry writing a poem for a scene near the end (it’s how I write - major scenes already set out as a guide) #writing #author

FML! Just went to charge my MacBook so I can finish writing my book. Chargers not working thanks to a rat I had in the house a few weeks ago. It already severed my internet connection for a week until I got a new modem & now I have to fork out $120 for a new charger 😩 #author

I can’t stop writing scenes and conversations for book #2. I really need to stop because I feel like I’m in the story when I write and they’re both completely different (set in different countries) so I won’t be present in book one any more if I keep going. On the + side at least I’ll be able to…

I’ve delayed finishing my first book because I wasn’t ready to leave the characters. No writers block, I have everything mapped out for the last maybe 10 chapters but now I’m obsessing over the ideas I’ve had for my next I fear it’ll be so hard to go back. Gonna try this w/end wish me 🍀 #author
