Seven Bells for Death

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

Trying my very best not to get sucked into another worldbuilding hole lmao.

I have the main world that I've been working on for a few years now, but I don't plan on publishing anything in it for at least a few more. But I wanted a standalone story I could work on. So now I'm up here plotting for project: golden thread and while it's not as involved as project: enigma, it's already more than intended it to be.

I legit was just doing a writing exercise during a writing session with the bestie. And I randomly generated three words to base the story on. Why am I still doing the most 😭

will die on the hill of “dead dove: do not eat” DOES NOT MEAN “there are various unspecified things in here that might disturb you, so be warned”

it means “i know the contents of this bag (a dead dove) may be upsetting, so i have labeled the outside very clearly with what is inside (a dead dove), and if you look inside, you should not be surprised to find a dead dove, because that’s what the label very explicitly says is inside the bag”

i realize this is a losing battle because enough people have made it mean the other thing as to make the tag totally useless, but seeing people argue over what it should mean gives me a headache because it literally could not be clearer

In true me fashion, I was in the middle of doing some more worldbuilding (specifically regarding the country's major religion), and then I realized I have a whole separate story that I might want to tell first? It would be a prequel to the main story. But that's where I'm at.

So you know what that means, Pinterest board time!

I got almost 4500 words off my dictation I did. It was like 9pm when I started so when I finished I was basically sleep drunk and slurring lmao. But I covered waaaay more ground than I remember. Some of the magic system, some more background on FMC's relationship with her parents. I also basically plotted one character's moves for the entirety of the first book? Which is going to be helpful for making a timeline. I think this may be the new strat. Just ramble all my thoughts out and transcribe them later instead of trying to make them coherent right off the bat. Bc my mind just does not work that way.

I've been building this particular world out for a couple years now so I'm just having a fun time playing around with it. I have a couple of side stories I dip out to work on just to switch things up.

Right now I'm playing around with fleshing out some of the characters in FMC's hometown. Nothing too in depth but I want the town to feel lived in.

Moodboard for Rolun, FMC's hometown

It's a small fishing town on the country's southern coast. Perfect place for an Alchemical Researcher specializing in aquatic botany no?

I was originally going to make another side blog but I figured I wanted to be able to follow people and like things so here we are.

Don't know how in depth I'm going to go about the things I'm writing but, I wanted someplace to put it besides my Scrivener folders.
