Hi!! I saw your words for each month and I was wondering what different projects are all going towards it?

Insane amount of words btw. I fear you

hi! great question! i would also like to know the answer

no but in seriousness, when i write, i “waste” a lot of words. i keep track of everything i write, not just what ends up in the final product, and the ‘graveyard’ documents for a novel are usually anywhere between 15-30k. i like to make sure that what i actually put in the draft belongs, and sometimes what i write in the beginning just doesn’t (which is okay!)

some of the words this year went towards the massive project i’m always working on with @ghostcasket, or the murder mystery we’re writing.

as for actual novels, by the end of this year i’ll (hopefully) have 4 new first drafts (one of which got me my agent and sold at auction!), 1 edit & polish (which has now been published!), and 2 halfway-finished rewrites that i ran out of steam on.

if you’re interested in what i’m currently working on, the introduction to the project is here :)

thanks for asking!

you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.

oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through

im an absolute fan of when characters have their own twisted perceptions of love. like holy shit that guy thinks inflicting pain is affection! woah this silly man believes love is a form of ownership! give me more.

love characters who are like "this is how the world works. this is how it has to be (because if i'm wrong i have to face what i've done // if i'm wrong i have to face whats been done to me) "

"it's okay, i can peel back the layers of you until i find the soft and gentle core of you you've had to work so hard to hide"? no. no, it's okay, i know you're hollow; i'm here anyway. you don't have to pretend it isn't masks the whole way down. whatever face you want to wear, i still love you. i don't need you to be good or unflinching or the antonym of violence. if i did, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't ask that of you.

i have nothing against a character who is layers of scar tissue and callous protecting a small little sliver of their before self, who just wants to be safe to let that sliver grow and heal

however. when the only thing under all the scarring is more scarring. when there's nothing of the before self left at all. when there was a precipice, and they tumbled over it, and even if they got back up they'll never heal right.

and then to have someone still say i care for you. you are broken and i can't fix you and i'm here anyway. so what if you're a ghost of yourself? you can haunt me
