About to start my writing session.
Need to pick up the pace w/ my revisions as I’d like to begin querying in December.
With that in mind, my 2nd draft revisions are working out splendidly.
Feels like a different book 👨🏿🚀

His aesthetic is dull, which is uncharactristic of his filmography.
Worse, it feels lazy.
The movie is passionless & trite, hitting plot points at predictable moments.

Close to finishing CH21 of my werewolf manuscript.
The 2nd draft has allowed me to expand the roll of a character who empathizes with the protagonist's lycanthropy.
👉🏿 I anticipate finishing my line edits by tonight.

Today’s goal is to finish CH20 before the clock strikes midnight.
👉🏿 For my 2nd draft, it’s been imperative for me to clean up transitions, & composition.
The main beats are fine, & the gore is a joy to re-read. 😎

I’ve finished CH19 of my werewolf manuscript’s 2nd draft 👏🏿

I conclude my night w/ Alexis Henderson’s HOUSE OF HUNGER (2022).
Such a treat. Her work’s is what I aspire to do. 🫡

Fortunately, during my morning regimine, I decided upon an approach.
I believe that horror, i.e. shock & gore, feeds into the drama, but the genre also relies on setting 🤔
Based on my outlook, I'll use setting to transition my next piece ✍🏿

Last night, I started CH19 of the 2nd draft.
I’m about 191 pages into the werewolf manuscript 👨🏿🚀
The initial pages are going well.
I only stopped when I couldn't figure out how to transition into the next set piece ⑴

🤦🏿♂️ I anticiapte similar problems when I begin CH19
I’ve decided to cut the middle that I composed for my 1st draft: I need to tweak my antagonist’s motivation for harming, & then helping, my protagonist 🤔
Will spend my morning ruminating (f)

On Friday, I finished CH18 of my werewolf manuscript’s 2nd draft 😤
Curiously, most of my difficulties arose from a renegade paragraph where the vampire’s voice didn’t sound authentic to their experience ⑴

I’ve spent 5 days retootling that vampire scene, and, finally, I may have broken through 🙋🏿♂️
During my morning walk I enountered a quartet of hummingbirds.
Something about that fits.
Will play with that during my afternoon writing session. (f)

Still working on CH18 of my werewolf manuscript’s 2nd draft.
I’ve been stuck on the scene that introduces my vampire 🤔
Creating their presence is more important than the battle that ensues. ⑴

After re-reading Audre Lorde, I’ve begun journaling about my vampire & the power of eros.
I need to discern how they weaponize joy ✍🏿
While cogitating, I’m spinning a CD set that I’ve neglected.
Haven’t heard Today's “Him or Me” in a decade.

Last night I re-wrote the first exchange between my werewolf & vampire
To render their excchange metaphorically, I’m re-reading Audre Lorde’s timless rumination, “The Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power” (1978) ✍🏿

About to start my 2nd writing session for my werewolf manuscript.
👉🏿 For CH18’s 2nd draft, I've reimagined my vampire as an assemblage of subjectives, rather than a lord, a punk, or a goth.
Will begin by freewriting 🤔

Finished editing CH17 of my werewolf manuscript’s 2nd draft.
My writing is denser & more provocative than my work from my 1st draft 😤
Ending my night w/ one of my favorite films, FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN. (1943)

CH17 has lots of werewolf action, so I felt like I needed to consider how he would’ve lived if he weren’t cursed.
I consider his ideals as well as his belief systems.
Despite his condition, he doesn’t believe in fate, or luck.
Good start. (F)

The work I’ve done on my 2nd draft has allowed my short chapters to focus on themes.
For CH17, I’ll get to play w/ my action figures: werewolf vs. vampire❗️

My 2nd draft is allowing me to reimagine setting as I would a fantasy novel.
Each character feels rich because they inhabit vibrant spaces.

On Thursday, I finished CH13 of my werewolf manuscript.
The 2nd draft is going well, but it’s taking me about 6 days to refine my writing.
Hoping the latter chapters of my manuscript require fewer rewrites 🤔

I’ve veered completely off my timeline.
By now I should’ve begun writing my query letters, but alas, I’m only on CH12 of my manuscript’s 2nd draft.
I’m progressing well, but I’ll have to target November for submissions 😐
