*** "How's it going?" "Still can't see and apparently we're systematically losing consciousness here, but we're all alive. Nobody's been hit by a bus or eaten by a giant land octopus, which apparently means we're doing better than expected, which I honestly find very concerning." *** #instawrimo day 19: overheard dialogue #ithinkimhilarious #ispentanhourmakingartofthis #thenigaveupandtookascreenshot #wipourselvesandimmortality #instagramchallenge #nanowrimo #nanoprep #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #dialogue #writerlife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6egh6DC5B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4hbib0m33faj

#instawrimo day 5: cover art *** Let's be honest—I have no clue what I'm doing. But my precious death child is wearing stars in her hair and there is some symbolism or something, so... #ithinkthisisart #doodles #whodecidedwritersshouldknowart #wipourselvesandimmortality #lucymypoordeathdeity https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWZcv1DYQN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nnkwlgk6uhmv

Today I killed a main-ish character. I did not see this coming. I genuinely have no idea how to recover from this. This is what I get for not outlining this novel. Also I took zero good photos today so here is a random shot of a bird that spent a while teasing my dog.

With that revision out of the way, I'm back to rolling dice to throw gods and monsters at my children. Today we killed an entire sentient forest (to be fair, it tried to kill us first) and got lost in a magical eternal desert. Best line of the day: "Looks like we got us the god of glowsticks."

Current word count: 47,045 Queen Mab making wish-fulfilment dreams, the Morrigan getting crow wing tattoo, and an opera singer having a nervous breakdown. I didn't write for a week ish because of Thanksgiving and visiting friends, so now I'm cramming to finish on time. Woops. #almostdone #honestlyidontknowhowthisishappening #writersblockisreal #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #writersblock #wordcountupdate

Current word count: 42,044 My babies boarded an interdimensional bus. Their fellow travellers include: -the muses singing 99 Bottles of Beer -a large dog wearing a crown, presumably a god of some sort -Freyja in a wig and trenchcoat thinking she's incognito My procrastination level today: cleaned my entire house and then conceptualised and hand-made Christmas decorations out of rubbish I found in my compound. Spoiler alert, putting off writing does not make it easier. #honestlywritersblockissoreal #ihavenoideawhatsgoingon #butlookimadeasnowmanoutofabrokenjar #sendhelp #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #writersblock #wordcountupdate

Also Odin is wearing a pink snuggy. #theseimmortalskeepsurprisingme #waitingforMimirtosaysomethingwise #sofarhesjustbeingrude #atleasttherearebookshere #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #wordcountupdate

Current word count: 32,028 My children are now trapped on stairs that never end and tbh I don't even know who's fault it is or what immortal they're about to run into. I'm basically just proud of myself for writing at all after doing laundry (pictured) that turned into a 5-hour comedy of errors in which I didn't actually do anything wrong, but everything in my life decided to break anyway. I'm not going to say that my hours of frustration didn't contribute to my choice to let my children get stuck on a neverending stairway. #tonighteverythingishard #theyreallythoughttheywerenearlydone #theydontunderstandquesting #theydontknowtobesuspiciousofanythingthatseemseasy #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #wordcountupdate
