I’ll have one more writing session before I call it a night.
My werewolf protagonist is returning to the haunted house where he's been terrorized by specters.
I must heighten the tension & render several grotesqueries 🤔

Last night I finished the opener to CH23 👊🏿
Today, I need to reintroduce a character who transports my protagonist from our world to the spirit world.
It’s a transitional scene, so blocking & imagery are important.

Progress on my horror manuscript has stalled 😐
Currently, I'm working on the 2nd draft of CH23, but I’ve been rewriting the opening for 7 days.
👉🏿 My aim tonight is to aggregate my notes so I can complete CH23 & move on.

Yesterday’s writing session left me rather dissatisfied w/ CH23.
For today, I’m roving about my domecile trying to awaken my subconscious.
I need to capitalize on this time before I’m disrupted by Thanksgiving.

Today, I’m working on the second draft of CH23.
I’ve officially crossed 200 pages for my manuscript
Most of my work has focussed on streamlining text & refining language.
Ideally, I’ll finish CH23 in 5 days 🤔

Last night I finished CH22 of my manuscript’s 2nd draft.
Today, I’ll spend my time analyzing my outline, & consider ways I’ll change CH23.
Good momentum, so I need to continue making strides before Christmas break.

Today, I'll complete CH22 of my horror manuscript.
Quite glad to realize that my 2nd draft is more psychological, & mean spirited.
👉🏿 It helps me show how the werewolf befouled my protag's soul, & he remains unaware.

I am 200 pages into the 2nd draft of my horror manuscript.
For CH22, the weight of continuity has begun to impact my narrative.
My work is turning philosophical while I amplify the violence & the supernatural elements 🤔

About to start my writing session.
Need to pick up the pace w/ my revisions as I’d like to begin querying in December.
With that in mind, my 2nd draft revisions are working out splendidly.
Feels like a different book 👨🏿🚀

His aesthetic is dull, which is uncharactristic of his filmography.
Worse, it feels lazy.
The movie is passionless & trite, hitting plot points at predictable moments.

Close to finishing CH21 of my werewolf manuscript.
The 2nd draft has allowed me to expand the roll of a character who empathizes with the protagonist's lycanthropy.
👉🏿 I anticipate finishing my line edits by tonight.

Today’s goal is to finish CH20 before the clock strikes midnight.
👉🏿 For my 2nd draft, it’s been imperative for me to clean up transitions, & composition.
The main beats are fine, & the gore is a joy to re-read. 😎

Fortunately, during my morning regimine, I decided upon an approach.
I believe that horror, i.e. shock & gore, feeds into the drama, but the genre also relies on setting 🤔
Based on my outlook, I'll use setting to transition my next piece ✍🏿

🤦🏿♂️ I anticiapte similar problems when I begin CH19
I’ve decided to cut the middle that I composed for my 1st draft: I need to tweak my antagonist’s motivation for harming, & then helping, my protagonist 🤔
Will spend my morning ruminating (f)

On Friday, I finished CH18 of my werewolf manuscript’s 2nd draft 😤
Curiously, most of my difficulties arose from a renegade paragraph where the vampire’s voice didn’t sound authentic to their experience ⑴

I’ve spent 5 days retootling that vampire scene, and, finally, I may have broken through 🙋🏿♂️
During my morning walk I enountered a quartet of hummingbirds.
Something about that fits.
Will play with that during my afternoon writing session. (f)

After re-reading Audre Lorde, I’ve begun journaling about my vampire & the power of eros.
I need to discern how they weaponize joy ✍🏿
While cogitating, I’m spinning a CD set that I’ve neglected.
Haven’t heard Today's “Him or Me” in a decade.

Will begin by freewriting 🤔

CH17 has lots of werewolf action, so I felt like I needed to consider how he would’ve lived if he weren’t cursed.
I consider his ideals as well as his belief systems.
Despite his condition, he doesn’t believe in fate, or luck.
Good start. (F)
