Writing Arc 2 👀👀👀

Trash fire draft is an expected 70k - 80k away from completion… 🤯

In the mean time we can expect spotty reviews and maybe even snippets.. or bad poetry!!!
Teen alien immigration agents get caught up in an alien run human trafficking ring! Also by the guy who did Beelzebub though it focuses on plot more than comedy but has a good balance between the two. It's a nice SciFi Manga for anyone looking for a if Dandadan were serious vibe.

Last time I did a word count report we were sitting at 15,392. Friday we reached 29,805 which I'm sure will break 30,000 when I settle in to write today!!

Because it's been a while as well, I'll be backdating good quotes from former sessions.

Quote from 25.06.25:

Yakuza Fiancé is far more entertaining than I ever anticipated.

With a psycho golden retriever as the main love interest to our bogan female lead it is one of the best m/f romcoms I've seen in a long time...

However if they are actually end game I don't see a reasonable way to make that happen.

Haha, realised I hadn't ever introduced my novel and here we are!

Devil's Deal With Devils is a Romance set in 2074. Featuring gang affiliated gays, a traumatised & deadly mc & his trouble making love interest & the mc's childhood stalker!

Life may have jumped me for a hot minute there but it is time for a little Drabble challenge in my writers community elsewhere and guess who popped in for Inspo?

That's right, Seigen & Finlay.

Now this is from a story that will be far in the future of their world hence the censored spoiler-

@jebdarsh.bsky.social a picrew Finlay & Seigen! ... which couldn't happen until the 3rd book but soft.

Planning, planning & planning for the next arc but we got a spot of inspo that had to be written immediately!

Introducing on this quote of the session the vibe of Finlay & Seigen's relationship, aren't they cute 🥰

I've never read another author who does action scenes as well as Matthew Reilly, and Ice Station is my go to recommendation for anyone struggling with their own action scenes.

His sense of pacing is second to none.

Writing session ends on 15,392 words and we've made it to the end of the first story arc and the quote I've all been waiting for!

Introducing Seigen's very first line and the very first time Finlay smiles, quote of the session #8.

We took a little break because I am feeling out a schedule for writing consistently but we're back a few more words sitting at 12,944 mid session but I do believe we have the quote of the session already!!

Don't worry, I'll stay tuned for more

Checkmate and I got off to a rocky start. After the standard BL non-con scene the story seemed to drift for a significant amount of time but I’m glad I stuck it out if only to find that I’d read it a couple years ago and forgot 😅

In so saying, I did enjoy the story very much.

I loved That Time I Got Stuck to the Guy I Hate. If you’re looking at the cover and thinking comedy BL smut then you would be absolutely correct and it absolutely delivers on entertainment and aww factor.

Got a little manga haul from the bookshop today ✨

Clearly I’m a fair bit into some of these series already but I’m looking forward to trying out Versailles of the Dead! I’ve heard good things about it and I do love me a good zombie apocalypse

*Weather forecasting voice*

Due to the poor quality of words, plot progression had to be put on hold today to make way for a stronger revision. In saying that 1,371 words were written and a scene was expanded by 372 of them.

12,098!! Further in than any writing attempt I've made before 💖

In tonight's quote of the session, only one person (Simon) thinks this is a job interview and he is very mistaken and also a bit more than a bit of slug rat bastard!

Decent writing progress was made today for a finishing total 11,030 words, I might only cut a couple hundred of those in editing 😂

Today we meet Christina in our quote of the session and Finlay is having emotions!

Progress is progress even when it's 146 words!! What can I say I wanted to procrastinate today and I successfully did that 🎉

We still ended up with a quote of the session which reveals a hidden (in world that is) tidbit of Finlay's desires!

Haha! Consecutive writing session success!!

9,308 words in and it looks like Finlay's not going to meet his love interest for a suspected 8000 more!

Here's today's quote of the session featuring a little peak at the shit hole Finlay lives in 🎉

Writing session success!

7,703 words into my 1st book about a poor, vicious, pretty boy caught between the machinations of his life long stalker and the charming gangster trying to extort them!

Featuring a quote of the session including foreshadowing!!

Dead Account is a manga by Shizumu Watanabe I came across recently that was such a refreshing change from the current trends in the shounen genre. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone finding themselves bored by the current most popular series and genre trends.

For reasons that are not because I did this exact thing… don’t blind read Madk 😂

10/10 would only recommend if you know what you’re getting into (unless you want it to live rent free for a couple days as you process what you saw)

But also the story is actually really great and super tragic.
