My birthday sword came today (yes my birthday is in December, no we will not comment on that)! How long did it take for me to get in trouble for fighting with it in the hallway? About four hours?

#queerwriters Saturday check in time!
Well I've gone through a big chunk of my first novel, annotating it and reminding me about characters and stuff. Most importantly, it has meant I remember the rules of my LitRPG setting because I did not remember any of the mechanics! #writingcommunity

On behalf of the harmless little nerds, it is indeed very funny.

The FBI has an official guide towards distinguishing LARPers from violent extremists that boils down to “the difference between harmless little nerds and dangerous little nerds”

I submit to you the latest version of my sabbatical proposal.
In 1771, historian Catherine Macaulay burned herself out so badly writing the fifth volume of her recent history of England that she spent four months eating ice cream and bathing in the sea to recuperate.
Writers, I present to you your role model.

Day 6 - Random Fact
In order to get a good feel for the setting, I've been working on a mood board, but it's mostly turned into a wallpaper of castles, trains, and Worth gowns! Which isn't very useful for a school story!

Day 5: Story research
A bit late but better than never?
Was worried about researching travel in the Victorian era, but then remembered my good friend Jonathan Harker! So I guess part of my research will be rereading the travel parts of Dracula. Oh no, how terrible, such a shame.

Day 3: Inspiration?
Classic Chalet, boarding, finishing school style books. But tbh, the real inspiration is my deep anger about how people denigrate traditionally female art forms, so I am going to use them for murder and espionage.
