2777 words and 7 pages in to kiesha's backstory over the course of like 4 days

8773 words and 23 pages in to my rough draft of harlow over the course of like 5 yEaRs.

23 PAGES. IN 5 YEARS. 

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN. WHY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS. 

i'm always so much more productive when i'm writing short little scenes (that usually turn into much longer things but that's not the point) than when i'm writing my book and i DON'T KNOW WHY.

maybe it's the pressure of trying to make the novel perfect? and thinking too hard about word count and pages...

but idk the backstory is coming out really well, and my writing style is starting to get pretty good if i do say so myself  i'm on the third scene out of 5-8ish

maybe more

who knows

to be fair, my novel is going to be a series and has required years of worldbuilding and plot stuff and character development and ~7 started and started and failed rough drafts with ~3-25 pages each

and kiesha's backstory is just her backstory

she's been around for a couple of years anyway, so it's had plenty of time to marinate 

anyways just thought that was interesting and thought it could be fun to update y'all on my current projects

OOOOOOH OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH WE'RE DOING A PROJECT IN ART CALLED A ZINE (pronounced zeen) AND MY ROUGH SKETCHES LOOK REALLY GOOD, AND MY ART TEACHER LOWKEY FLIPPED OUT WHEN SHE SAW THEM 

i'll post those tomorrow :3 

also if you wanna read the backstory, let me know. trigger warnings include violence, manipulation/gaslighting, sexual assault, depressive/suicidal thoughts, grief and loss. i'm probably missing some but uh 

yeah 

ANYWAY I'M GONNA GO KEEP WRITING :3 wanna get to 3250 or more tonight which should be more than doable  

LOVE YOU ALL BYEEEEEEEEEE
