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

Tell me why I went to Tesco and for document wallets, like folders and stuff to put your paperwork in and its like ยฃ4 for a pack of ten wallets. Whereas in Rymans the stationary store, its like ยฃ30-50 and they want your firstborn son and the deed to your house

Shoutout to all the bitches writing time traveller/ sci-fi fantasy stories where you have to keep track of all the timelines.

Hi darling! I'm writing about a fallout between humans before it bubbles over into a vampire/ supernatural war vs humans and we're dealing with the fallout of that.
What about you, whats yours about?

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.

I can't stop thinking of Daniel Craig when I try and picture Ignacy, Zosia's father. Help xD

Adding extra words to your word count desperately trying to get your word count up with lore drops and extra dialogue, like you're Gollum losing grip on reality and trying to keep The One Ring

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

Why is reaching out to the local community in your hometown, for writing friends, so terrifying?

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?

To the people who make fanfics/ their own works have like 100 chapters+, how does it feel to look God in the eye and create your own Odyssey?

If anyone wants to know how draft 1 of To Be Damned is going, here's just all the new content I've added so far, havent even typed up any of the handwritten draft pieces I have, yet.
