I am really not feeling like two or three of the five stories I’m supposed to be working on for Myriad of Magic.

I still like the ideas behind them, but I think they need more time to simmer before trying to execute them.

But at the same time, I don’t want to quit them before Camp NaNo is over.

Boy howdy has this been a busy weekend

Which is why I literally have not written anything since last thursday.

Terrible excuse, I know, which is why I’m about to rectify it. 500 words per story in Myriad of Magic, and I’m not going to stop until I hit 2,500.

Just to give a hint of how much running around I’ve been doing over the past three or so days (and keep in mind I don’t have a car so this is all either on foot, bus, or train), I had therapy on Friday in the middle of the afternoon, plus after a twelve hour graveyard shift I pretty much just crashed after I got home.

Then I had to get up early on Saturday to go to Ikea to get something delivered that day. Crashed when I got home again, barely woke up in time for the deliverers to arrive.

Spent the entire night assembling said piece of furniture (about ten hours from the time it arrived to when I finished it).

Then I had bought tickets to go see Black Panther (finally) and see The Cat Returns (Studio Ghibli Fest 2018) in theaters on Sunday morning, so I got maybe three hours of sleep there.

Then on my way back I had to run a bunch of arrends like picking up food, hunting for a new/used ps3 controller because mine suuuucks, and I was out and about anyways so might as well, and then I had to wait for the bus....

I basically didn’t get home on Sunday until five, and I was pretty beat. So I took a four or five hour nap, woke up like three hours ago, and after showering and cleaning the mess that was my room after the Ikea fiasco, I’m finally sitting my ass down to write.

Hey-o! I wanted to get something out today about my NaNo project, so here’s a moodboard for one of my main characters!

Story: Runes

Character: Blaire Kayne

Blaire Kayne | Daughter of Loki | Demi-God on the run

WONDERFUL. This gives me such a strong feeling of chaos and rebellion and it’s goddamn perfect.

Thank you!

Being the daughter of Loki, that's kind of what I was going for ;)

But more 'rebel with a cause' than 'aimless chaos' like her father.

Forcing myself to get that word count up at 4:30 in the AM.

Me, trying to find my motivation to write

Camp NaNoWriMo Day #14 Goal: 500 words Words written: 762

I feel like me missing Thursday and Fridays are gonna become a regular thing, because it’s the end of the week and I usually have a lot of stuff to do.

But whatever, it’s fine, because catching up on 500 words missed a day is way easier than catching up on 1662 words missed a day.

How To Write When You’re Not Motivated

Sit your ass down

Write nonsense until you reach your word count

It should look something like this:

I’ll go down with this ship || Steampunk Rapunzel

@theplantpoweredwriter asked for an update on the Steampunk Rapunzel WIP and I finally wrote this stupid scene that I kinda liked sooo… here is an excerpt! (Grammar mistakes are probably present; you’ve been warned)

Asahel couldn’t contain a loud scream when the ship trembled again. After being chased and fired at, the big flying boat was giving up. Luci grabbed the corner of the control table as to not fall when it shook again.

“We’re falling” it was obvious, but bad enough that Francis felt the need to say it out loud. “Asahel, we’re falling. You told us you were not let us die in a falling ship. Please, do not let us die in a falling ship”

“He already told you he’s trying, you big dumbass” Lucille tightened her bag around her waist. suddenly, stealing that forsaken crown to show what she was capable of doing wasn’t wort it. At all.

She should really put more emphasis on the word “trying”. It was difficult. He was sure that the balloon was about to rip and the wings had gave up moving a few cities ago. It was a miracle the ship was still flying, let along moving, but their luck was starting to run low. Or maybe it never existed, and the Lords had decided that they weren’t entertaining anymore.

The city stretched beneath them. The early smoke was coming from one or another chimney on the houses, and the golden shadow of the sunrise was breathtaking. Francis, in his terrorized state, sent a silent apology for whatever house they would most definitely fall on. He closed his eyes. From a street rat to a decent little thief to an accidental murderer. Lords, his mom must be so proud that his face was on the news again, but this time has an imperial traitor.

“ASAHEL!”

Luci’s heart was pounding so loud on her ears that her own scream seemed muffled. The clock tower. It rose in the center of the city, a construction that looked as old as the continent, as imponent as the Empress and Emperor themselves. Their only form of protection against the winged horrors that lurked in the creeks of the forests and canyons that formed their territory.

And it was directly in front of them, coming closer faster by the second.

For the first time in his life, Asahel had wished he had refused to help his friend.

Sorry, guys. I know I haven’t posted anything from my stories lately, but I’ve been kind of busy, and I also don’t feel like anything has been good enough to post yet.

These are all just REALLY BAD first drafts, mostly just rambling, so yeah.

I’ll try and polish some things up this weekend and post them.
