Its been a couple of months since I started writing again and I dont really get any character thoughts or ideas in my head where I have to stop in the middle of a supermarket to write the idea down.
I'm hoping that comes back at some point? I kinda miss it??

If you need 16 people to write the book for you or AI to write? I swear to god, I'm sending your ass to live in the past on an eternal time loop until you learn the fucking lesson that you need TO USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN AND DO IT YOURSELF (or write with 1 other person) AND SUFFER FOR YOUR ART

If you get told to censor your work because it's not marketable, I need you to do me a favour. Look me in the eye and do the exact opposite of what they're telling you too - make it as graphic as you can, to get the vision YOU want YOUR writing to be

My brain keeps telling me to, in all their amazing glory make the "business tycoon" Addison Griffin ( the partner of Ignacy) into like a Tony-Stark level of weapons dealer but only dealing in things that can kill a supernatural being

To Be Damned should really be called "How To Solve A Problem Like Claudia" and I'm not even joking at this point.

When now, she's the strong one and she's got all this mystery surrounding her path and she's trying to do what she can, but she's losing the war between fighting for the Vampire Hunters, and the Vampires themselves. She isn't so innocent, she's leaving blood in her wake and she's losing control.
Xena in To Be Damned is getting really interesting to me because at first when I started to write her, i wanted someone who was innocent, who didnt know how to put up a fight and Zosia would be the strong one.

Checking the rules of a website to see how specific their rules are on content so i dont get banned. I should be good because I don't go into graphic details on my fictional violence, so I think im ok

I don't know if its just me, but I find typing up my handwritten work is faster than typing the whole thing on computer? Or am I just in some magical land of make believe where I'm gaslighting myself?
