Absolutely over the moon that my #story, The Ruby Oracle, has climbed to the #4 spot on the Weekly Read list on #honeyfeed. Now, with the #submission period at an end, all I can do is wait and hope. Fingers crossed that five drafts were enough!

The Ruby Oracle All Tahvin had to live for was his story—a fantasy world of his own. That was, until he was pulled into the realm of his novel by a capitalistic Lich named Phyllis. Now, the author must learn to...

I'm so exhausted, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 14 #chapters #published on #Honeyfeed for the #competition! And I've been doing my best to fulfill the other recommended goals.

I think it's time to #sleep, though. Definitely time.

The Ruby Oracle To Tahvin, life was meaningless. All he had was his story—a fantasy world that none would ever experience but him. That was, until one day, this experience became too real. Pulled into the realm of...

That's awesome, congrats! Always such a rewarding feeling.

First, Second, and Third drafts are done!

I'm going to read through the entire thing one more time before submitting to the contest juuussst to make sure it flows the way I want it to.

#editing is nothing but ups and downs. Spoke with my spouse yesterday about how distraught I was over the flow of one of the final chapters--reviewed the same #chapter today and just finished having a conversation about how much I liked it.

I'm going crazy! 🤪

#writingcommunity

I write because I can't draw! I wish I could, but my stick figures and scribbles aren't going to win anyone over.

Luckily, my spouse has more talent than I and has agreed to help. Simple cover is the name of the game for this submission!

I'm already halfway through #editing the second #draft, now the question is whether I should do a third one with the remaining week and change or submit?

I-I did it! #Edited the first book! I actually did it.

Okay, well, I did two rounds of editing per #chapter. Now, the goal is to go back through and read it from start to finish to see if there are any major changes needed.

Then--submitting to the 2025 #Isekai #Writing Contest. #writingcommunity

Sooo tired. Needing something stronger than coffee and vibes.

Yesterday morning, while editing my story, I spilled an entire cup of hot coffee into my keyboard...

I ruined the keyboard. Didn't get to enjoy the coffee. And turned the muffin beside it into absolute splop.

So yeah, that set the vibe for the rest of the day...

ANYWAYS! Back to editing.

I don't know if it'll make a difference to the reader...but I like it.

So far, I have #edited eight #chapters of #Book One. I have gone from 58k words to 63k.

Here I thought it would be getting shorter. I still have, like, 16 chapters to go!

Oh no...

Just remember, on this day and every day, the rich may have more money than us--but there are a lot more of us than them. Like, a lot more.

Today's #chapter is #edited. More sleep now.

It’s Saturday morning and I just learned that I have a month to edit my isekai light novel if I want to enter it in the MyAnimeList x Honeyfeed Writing Contest 2025.

Book 12 can wait. I’ve written enough of the series to properly foreshadow. Now to actually finish this 3rd draft of Book 1.

My partner and I tried to decide if we wanted to celebrate Friday with Ramen or Boba. The answer was simple...

I'm guilty of this. I just love the feeling of #writing stories. Even though my Kobo is filled with books I want to read, the siren's call of my 'Novels Folder' is too alluring.

Step 1: Think about your #story before bed.
Step 2: Dream about your story.
Step 3: Continue to refuse #editing and instead #write the next chapter.

#WIP #writingcommunity #writestuff

What a great day for #editing.*

You know, in my story, when the bad-faith actor takes control of Jandilin and begins to make the people suffer for the benefit of the vampiric zealots--the people stood up, united, and used force to regain control of the night and their democratic nation. Beauty of fiction--People doing things.

I'll get to them--but first, let's #write this #chapter.

Well, twist my arm, haha!

I'm supposed to be taking a break from #writing. Yet the shortcut on my taskbar continues to tempt me.
