Soooooo I wrote the last chapter yesterday and I thought all I had to do was polish and finish a couple of things this morning, and then the more I looked at it the more unsatisfied I got, soooooo long story short, the last chapter’s not ready yet. I’m sorry. Hopefully tomorrow?

I actually got a lot done yesterday, by the way, and Hey Gorgeous will resume tomorrow as planned! I think I’ll skip Christmas Day, and I think we’ll still be done by the end of the year, even though I added a few parts (again. I kinda said we were almost done like 10 parts ago, but presumably you guys don’t mind. If there’s anything specific you want to see before the end, now’s the time to let me know.).

Hey Gorgeous came out to 36,703 words total, which actually means it was my second longest work this year behind Second Chance at 39,574. Finding Harmony came in third at 34,373.

But what really throws me is that the combined December prompts came out to 41,567.

1. That’s a lot of fluff

2. That’s a lot of hiding from family 😅

I’m sitting here working on part four and five of the elves saga (my writing process is so nonlinear, y’all) and wondering how loud y’all will howl for my blood if the last part doesn’t go up until New Years Eve. 😅

Omg I’m so sleepy 😴 but I knocked out a chunk of draft today, so yay? I’ve got 25k words total on this thing and I’m starting to think I might actually have to like...make an outline.

Also starting to wonder if I should call it The Girl with the Ladybug Tattoo but I don’t want to be evoking thoughts of the original, which I’ve never read but am pretty sure is nothing like this.

WIP Report: I hardly ever outline, but I’ve been doing it so I can figure out what I’ve got done and what I have left to write. I think Beautiful Dreams is going to come out to about 5 chapters (I’m not sure, I might need to split chapter 4, but we’ll see). I’ll start posting when the first 3 are pretty close to done. 1 is pretty well there I think; 2 and 3 have the main points but need some fleshing out.

I’ve also been thinking about the soulmate fic and jotting down a rough outline of points I want to hit. I’m really leaning into Scottish Luka for this one; he and Marinette can’t meet right away because Anarka is sailing the Couffaines all over creation and they’re based out of Scotland rather than France, so I’ve got a couple of years I want to cover between the connection and the face to face.

if I could give you the moon

i’d swallow it whole

carry it to your door like a dog with a bird in its teeth

drop it at your feet, panting, waiting expectantly

it is July and I am scared of loving you
