Rivera's Repairs: Dungeon Repairwoman (A Cozy, Dungeon-Core Lit-RPG)
[Writeathon 2025 Entry] [UPDATES: As much as possible during Writeathon] Tess Rivera doesn't need a combat class to survive. She needs one that can fix a dying city.

Getting halfway through writing a book 2 is somewhere I never thought I'd find myself. What an incredible journey so far.

Since when can I write a thousand words per hour? What the hell happened?

3k words in 3 hours is hardly believable compared to a year ago.

It feels like a lot but I'll bet half of you blow me away.

Sure, writing action scenes can be fun. But have you tried putting together a fantasy Dim Sum menu? #xianxia #authorsky #writingcommunity #booksky #sliceoflife #progressionfantasy

Tournament arcs are hilarious—very few ever actually end up finishing. Something always has to interrupt them and I'm no different. I'm not letting Ben get off easy, though, now it was only postponed. #writingcommunity #progressionfantasy #xianxia

Today's writing soundtrack: Lo-Fi Heavy Metal. Apparently that's a thing. Sometimes you need the right atmosphere to write characters making terrible life choices. #writinglife #authorsky #writingcommunity #lofi

Other cultivation stories need flowcharts to track advancement stages. I much prefer depth over breadth - focusing on what each realm actually feels like instead of having 47 different stages of 'profound'. #progressionfantasy #writingcommunity #xianxia

It turns out writing the first book was the hard part. Book 2 is flowing so much faster than book 1, like I can't write it fast enough. It's a pretty cool feeling. That's normal right? Right!?

So my #webnovel has been picked up by Aethon Books. The story now gets to be told in full with the support of one of the top publishers in my genre. I couldn't be more excited.

Thank you for all of your support.

My favorite part of editing is finding scenes or sentences I wrote months ago that make me wonder if I actually wrote my book. Was I channelling a better author? Past me comes through sometimes, I guess.

For someone that has just signed up for Kindle unlimited for the first time, what are some fantasy/sci Fi must reads?
I'm like a decade late to the party so anything goes. Obscure is a plus.

There's something to be said about catching up on several years of renovations in a week. Especially when doing them yourself.

It's not a GOOD something, but you get the idea.

I'm tired.

I'm curious what software people use for writing? I've tried exporting Scrivener to Docx but holy crap it gets the formatting wrong. I have Atticus that works well for epub and pdf, but I'm not sure about html for patreon.

Any suggestions?

Holy crap it's been two weeks since I posted anything. Editing was consuming all my free time. So much fun!

Now that it's properly summer though, it might be time to take a step back for a few days. I'm bordering on an obsession with my book.

You know... The thing about writing a fun story is that you eventually want to do it all the time, which can't be healthy.

As far as hobbies go, though, I feel like there are worse options.

I've been pushed no less than 6 articles this morning about how "Bluesky is backfiring" and how users are flocking back to X.

This overly aggressive and clearly sponsored campaign by X is hilariously obvious.

That's all I have to say, love you all.

I've almost fully rewritten 5 chapters in 7 days. How is it that I feel more motivation to write when doing a rewrite than when I wrote it originally? It's like I know where the story is going and I can now tell it much more effectively.

Such a fun creative outlet.

Rewriting the early parts of a finished book is a bizarre experience. Like looking back in time with a skillset I didn't have at that moment. If I can make the early parts shine, imagine what the next book is gonna be like. It's exciting.

After taking a week off from #writing, I feel pretty good about starting back up. Feels like I needed to live in someone else's story for a bit to get my own mind churning again. Will Wight is a damn good writer and I'm excited to get through #cradle while starting back up on my book. #booksky

As someone who gave up #gaming 9 months ago, I'm realizing I've fallen out of touch. What's worth playing this summer? I've grabbed Clair Obscur to play through but I'm overwhelmed with the stack of overwhelmingly positive new games on #Steam.

This is it! I've finally done it. Book 1 of my web novel is officially done. 230,000 words and nearly 70 chapters. Been a wild ride on #royalroad. With nearly 800 followers and over 100,000 views I count myself as one of the lucky ones. Now to rewrite.

Does anyone have any tips using AutoCrit? I've been experimenting with it but it seems to really flatten my voice and wants to remove everything that I feel gives my writing character. is there something I'm missing?
