Hi, new friends.

I'm Scarlet, a non-binary writer of various flavours of romantasy (urban, post-apocalyptic, high fantasy, etc.) and I'm currently working on my debut (and far too many other stories at the same time).

When I'm not writing (or working) I like to read or watch anime.

So I decided I will try the healthy thing and space out writing each of the three books. So, Monday and Tuesday will be the new book, Wednesday and Thursday will be Maz's book, Friday and Saturday will be Tyrenae's book, and on Sundays I will lie in bed staring at the ceiling in existential dread.

I'm starting to think I need to put my social life on hiatus because between my regular day and my friends, this outline is never getting the attention it deserves and I can only put one of those distractions on pause.

Listening to Sail North always brings the urge to write a pirate fantasy, but I already have too many projects going on as is.

Taking a break from the day to watch some anime, then going to dive back into outlining this story.

I was hoping to be done outlining by now, but alas my year started out busier than I expected. Here's hoping that I will have it done by the end of THIS month. 😅

Talking to my friend about being demiromantic and demisexual, and to get him to understand, I'm just like, "I'm like an unlockable romance option in a game, you need to meet the requirements just to get a chance."

I think I've noted down all the ideas I've had for the book I'm not writing so far, which means I can finally go back to my outlining my devil romance novel.

So I decided to sift through the ideas and scenes invading my mind and note down anything useful that makes sense for the story and ended up with 8.8k words in outlining material... for a book I'm not writing yet.

It's always the best when your creative brain gifts you with so many ideas and almost fully fleshed out scenes for a book...

Now if only it would do that for the book I'm actually writing.

Hello!

I'm Joss, an aspiring author procrastinating whichever of my projects becomes my debut novel.

I write and read fantasy and science fiction and even like to mix the two.

Aside from that, I confess I am obsessed with cats, particularly my own, and will leave an offering of cuteness here.

When you add a character in your outline expecting them to be a simple support character but now somehow she's your MC's friend as well as secret crush she can never act on...

When you take a break from writing for a couple days and find a solution to that problem causing you writer's block.

Figuring out the way between plot point A and B is always so satisfying like

Why do the chapters between major plot points always have to be such pains to outline? 😩

Writing out major plot points because somehow I forgot to do that for my novel before I dived into outlining by chapter. Oopsie. 😅

I finally have time to get back into writing now that the holiday season is over. Going to dive back into outlining my novel. Hopefully I can get that done in a month, maybe get someone to read over it, then charge head first into writing the novel properly.
January 2, 2025 at 11:03 AM
I thought I would be able to get more done, but I forgot that the holiday season doesn't care about my plans to write. 😭

Me: busy with my current WIP's outline

My brain: what if we wrote a royal arranged marriage trope where the prince tells the princess he will never love her but it's actually because he's demiro/sexual and his first love was his guard so he thinks he might be gay but he's really bisexual.

Guess it's probably time to make one of those awkward introduction posts!

So, I'm Cae (rhymes with sigh) a Clarion West graduate and award-nominated speculative fiction writer

But I make my living as a professional developmental editor and will mostly be wearing that hat while I'm here!

I'm already 5 chapters in on the outline for one of my stand alone ideas. I think I've made my choice between the two ideas I had and this one is going to become my debut.
December 3, 2024 at 10:27 AM
So, I've narrowed it down to two ideas, and both of them are new, but I'm getting ideas for the outlines of both like you wouldn't believe. So, now I just need to pick one to focus on writing. Easy, right?
